Air Canada’s prize on ice

AIR Canada has brought a touch of frosty ambience to this year’s festive season with Melbourne’s first outdoor summer ice rink - and Travel Daily readers have a chance to get their skates on and be part of the fun.

The Air Canada Ice Rink opened on the weekend at the famous Queen Victoria Market, offering hourly skating sessions and rinkside treats like traditional poutine and maple syrup ice cream.

The airline is also offering TD readers a chance to win one of 10 double passes to the rink, which is open daily until 24 Dec.

To be in the running, email aircanada@traveldaily.com.au and tell us which Australian city will have its direct Air Canada services to Vancouver boosted to four a week from Jun.

Entrants need to be from Melbourne or able to visit before Christmas Eve, and the first 10 correct entries will win.

Air Canada General Manager Australia & New Zealand Vic Naughton said the Air Canada Ice Rink provided an opportunity to demonstrate the airline’s commitment to the Melbourne market and thank locals for their support during 2018.
