. Nice to know.
A C1 special thank you. As announced yesterday in Robert’s message, we are
in the process of updating all active employee travel profiles to include a
one-time special no service charge C1J00 space available J Class travel
pass for employees and a travel companion of their choice. This special
travel award will only be accessible through the Employee Travel Site
(ETS). As soon as each travel profile has been updated, employees will be
able to use this incentive.
European Sell off - Now is a great time to travel with Family Affair!
Forget the worries of standby travel. Active and retired Air Canada and Air
Canada Jazz employees can enjoy confirmed Family Affair reservations and
save with additional discounts for selected markets. Our sell-off fares to
Europe include flights to and from the UK, Denmark, Switzerland, France,
Netherlands, Spain and other international destinations.
Changes to Family Affair ticketing guidelines. As of Aug. 15, a couple of
changes were made to the ticketing procedures for booking Family Affair
travel. Employees are now permitted to book Family Affair travel within 14
days and up until day of departure. This is a change from within 14 days to
departure and up to one day prior to day of travel. Also, tickets must be
issued within one day after making reservations, but no later than the day
of departure. For full details on Family Affair, refer to “Family Affair”
under “News and Policies” on the Employee Travel Site.

initiative using the latest speech recognition technology to manage
telephone enquiries and reduce call waiting times. (We just hope it is
better that the one we use for staff travel! - eds)

You've just got off a long flight. You smell like a barnyard on a hot
summer day and you have one more flight to go. If you're flying through
one of these airports, you can freshen up with a shower. Now, we can't
guarantee the water temperature, but a cold shower is worth getting rid of
that special airplane smell:
