AC boosts VA pact

AIR Canada has confirmed an expanded partnership with Virgin Australia’s Velocity program, as it gears up to relaunch flights from Sydney to Vancouver (TD 06 Sep).

Four weekly services are scheduled from 17 Dec, arriving in YVR at 7am giving plenty of options for onward connections.

The VA pact allows Velocity members to earn and use points and status credits on Air Canada international and domestic flights.
