The codeshare partnership between Emirates and Air Canada now extends to 11 destinations via Montréal
Dubai-based airline Emirates has announced that it is extending its codeshare partnership with Air Canada to include flights to and from Montréal in Canada, following the launch of services to Québec’s largest city in July.
According to the press statement by Emirates, its customers can now travel between 11 of the most popular domestic points beyond Montréal and destinations on Emirates’ network, utilising the services of both airlines conveniently on a single ticket.
The statement adds that the expanded network of Canadian points included in the codeshare partnership between Emirates and Air Canada now extends to 11 destinations via Montréal, with an additional 69 points accessible from the gateway, on an interline basis.
It goes in to say that the codeshare will allow Emirates and Air Canada customers to enjoy flexibility and choice with smooth connections via Canada’s two largest cities to points such as Halifax, Edmonton, Ottawa and Calgary, perfect for leisure and business travellers or those visiting family or friends. From Toronto, Emirates’ customers can travel to 19 points whilst enjoying codeshare benefits, and an extra 100, made possible through an interline arrangement.
Customers travelling from Canadian cities can easily connect to Emirates’ services in Montréal or Toronto to travel to destinations across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, via the airline’s hub in Dubai, says Emirates.
It adds that travellers with itineraries on Emirates’ flights can plan their entire trip on a single-ticket and take advantage of hassle-free flight benefits including the airline’s baggage allowance, in addition to convenient bag check-through to the final destination.
The statement says that members of Emirates’ frequent flyer programme, Emirates Skywards, can look forward to earning and redeeming miles on flights of both airlines, courtesy of the partnership.
