Air Canada Now Offers Free and Fast Wi-Fi on Several of Its Flights

Because we love free stuff when we travel, take advantage of free baggage with a credit card affiliated with the Aeroplan program.

The TD^® Aeroplan^® Visa Infinite* Card or the TD^® Aeroplan^® Visa Infinite Privilege* Credit Card allow holders to benefit from the first free checked bag for themselves, as well as for the 8 other travellers booked on the same reservation.

Currently, 88% of Air Canada’s fleet is equipped with Wi-Fi, with the remaining installations scheduled for completion by early 2026.

Here are the main stages of deployment:

• 2025 (later this year): Installation of Wi-Fi on the Embraer E175 fleet and on the De Havilland Q400s serving Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ).
• 2026: Expansion of free, high-speed Wi-Fi to international long-haul flights

While we wait for free Wi-Fi on international flights, there’s always the option of free messaging.

Connecting to the free on-board Wi-Fi is quick and easy. Here are the steps to follow:

• Please ensure that your Aeroplan number is registered at the time of booking or add it before completing the check-in process;
• Once on board, connect to the aircraft’s Wi-Fi network and follow the instructions to access Wi-Fi;
• To change mobile devices, simply repeat the above steps on the new device. In this way, the session will be transferred to the new device.

Customers who are not yet Aeroplan members can register for free on the Air Canada website. Travellers without a Aeroplan membership will be able to purchase Wi-Fi for their flight at a fixed rate using Aeroplan points or cash.
