Air Canada Waives Change Fee on U.S. Codeshare Flights

Air Canada is offering flexible rebooking for its U.S. partner flights in light of continued chaos south of the border due to their government shutdown.

With flights being cancelled and nation-wide delays, Air Canada is waiving its change fee on tickets marketed by Air Canada and operated by United Airlines in the U.S. The offer is for tickets issued on or before Nov. 5, 2025 for travel until Nov. 13, 2025.
