Canadian travellers—and the corporate travel managers who support them—have a narrow, 72-hour window to lock in significant savings on multi-city escorted tours after Air Canada Vacations opened its annual Black Friday promotion at 00:01 ET on 28 November 2025. The sale, which runs until 23:59 ET on 30 November, offers a discount of CAD 250 per traveller (CAD 500 per pair) on more than 50 pre-packaged itineraries across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, North Africa, South America and Costa Rica. Eligible departure dates span 29 November 2025 through 31 October 2026, covering both peak-season business-travel periods and next summer’s leisure rush.
For mobility and travel managers, the timing is ideal. Many organisations finalise relocation and project budgets in December; booking now can trim air-land costs on upcoming assignment-launch trips, group moves or executive site visits. Because the discount applies to the base package price before taxes and surcharges, savings multiply on higher-end products that bundle premium economy flights with four-star hotels and guided excursions—items that typically strain T&E budgets. Air Canada’s packages include one checked bag and one carry-on per person, an important consideration given stricter luggage allowances on competing carriers.

The promotion also dovetails with Aeroplan, Air Canada’s loyalty program, by inserting a contest element: travellers who book in cash during the sale share in 75 million bonus points. Employees who self-book and expense trips could therefore accrue personal rewards while employers still capture the fare savings—a win-win that may increase policy compliance.
Travel buyers should note a few caveats. The offer must be booked directly with Air Canada Vacations (not via GDS) and is subject to availability in the originally purchased cabin; fare differences apply outside the sale window. Change-and-cancel penalties align with standard tour-package terms, so mobility teams should confirm assignment approval and visa timelines before committing.
Despite being a consumer-oriented sale, the breadth of destinations—Tokyo-Kyoto circuits, Dubai-Abu Dhabi stopovers, Andean business-class tours—makes the promotion relevant for corporate mobility. Early adopters could lock in lower per-diem exposure for 2026 projects while giving relocating staff or assignees the option to blend business travel with personal exploration, an increasingly popular benefit in talent-attraction strategies.
