by Air Canada and the Connector carriers. "U-write" tickets are
similar to AC employee trip pass tickets T421.
CP will accept AC employee trip pass tickets (T421) on all flights
operated by Canadian and Canadian Regional.

continue to purchase medium ZED fares.

CP Guest/Companions will not be accepted on AC at this time.
2. Ticketing
AC on CP: T421 Trip Pass Ticket
Similar to procedures for travel on the Connector carriers, one trip
pass ticket can be used for combined travel on AC and CP.
If you intend to travel on CP, indicate the appropriate priority on
the "OTHER" line of the "TRAVEL ON/VOYAGE PAR" section of the T421
ticket, as well as the AC priority in the "PRIORITY" section if you
also intend to travel on AC.
CP on AC: U-write ticket
The Air Canada boarding priority will be indicated on the ticket in
the "Priority" section and one trip pass booklet can be used for
combined travel on AC and CP.

*CP employee date of joining will not be entered at time of flight
registration. CP employees will be boarded on AC/Connector flights in
accordance with priority and date of registration.
**AC employee date of joining will not be entered at time of flight
registration. AC/Connector employees will be boarded on CP flights in
accordance with priority and time of check-in at the airport.
4. Service Charges
Each carrier will deduct service charges and appropriate taxes from
respective employees.
AC employees will pay zone service charges for travel on either AC or
CP. CP routes not operated by Air Canada will be incorporated into AC
zones listed in CIC*80/20.
ZONE 1 $20.00 short haul
ZONE 2 $30.00 medium haul
ZONE 3 $50.00 long haul
CP employees will be paying mileage based service charges for travel
on either AC or CP.
In some cases the above charges will result in different amounts being
levied for the same trip. The overall effect is that in some cases AC
staff will pay more than CP staff, and in other cases less.
5. Reservations
AC on CP:
Canadian does not have a dedicated Call Centre for employees so AC
employees can call the local CP Reservation office to list for
flights.
Quote "STAR RECORD N*PLSAC" which will identify you as an AC employee
and ensure that you are assigned the appropriate priority.
CP on AC:
CP employees can call the Employee Call Centre or the local Air Canada
Reservation office outside North America to list for flights. The CP
employee should be able to quote their boarding priority to the AC
agent.
II. BUSINESS TRAVEL
AC will accept CP employee "Business Quick Tickets" on all flights
operated by Air Canada and the Connector carriers. Business Quick
Tickets are blue/grey non-carbon vouchers.
CP will accept AC employee business trip pass tickets (T425) on all
flights operated by Canadian and Canadian Regional.
1. Eligibility

· Other employees travelling on company business will be eligible for
positive space travel upon request.

for issuance at an AC ticket office.
