Air Canada expands complimentary beer, wine and snacks in economy class to all flights
Last week Air Canada announced the expansion of their Complimentary Beer, Wine and Snacks in economy to all Air Canada flights. When this benefit was launched well over a year ago it was limited to Canada and U.S. flights but now that Porter Airlines who have always provided complimentary drinks and snacks is expanding to Latin America, Air Canada is responding by expanding the complimentary drinks and snacks to all flights including Mexico and the Caribbean.
Air Canada is also adding some new drinks and snacks to their onboard service:
- Morning flights (before 10 a.m.): A favourite in homes across Canada, MadeGood Mornings Cinnamon Bun Soft Baked Oat Bars join the line-up of complimentary snacks onboard, alongside Canadian favourites TWIGZ Craft Pretzels and Leclerc’s Celebration Cookies.
- Toronto-Downtown Billy Bishop flights (after 10:30 a.m.): From Canadian brand Greenhouse, known for its organic and plant-based products, complimentary Greenhouse Ginger Defence Wellness Shots will provide an energizing kick to our offerings. These shots are also featured in Air Canada’s premium snack baskets and Bistro menu.
- Expanded Air Canada Bistro – Now featuring more Canadian-made choices, from Summer Fresh Hummus & Crackers and Quaker Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cups to bold new TWIGZ Sour Cream & Onion Pretzels and fan-favourite Smarties.
- Crisp New Pour – With Heineken 0.0, Air Canada becomes the only North American airline to serve a non-alcoholic beer inflight, complementing its system-wide free beer and wine offering.

Confirmed: Zoomer+ Mastercards do charge FX Fees
Well, the hype was short lived. It does turn out the landing page for the Zoomer+ Mastercards were frought with errors about having No Foreign Transaction fees. The landing page on the ZoomerPlus website has now been corrected and all references of No FX Fees have now been removed. And in fact to make sure people know this they have the FX fees listed as “perks” for the card??
Here’s what it looked like last week:
And as of today:
It’s really too bad this was a mistake. We do really need a true No FX Fee Mastercard in our market!
