Air Canada Baggage Free For Active And Retired CF Personnel

 

   Here is the website with the new Air Canada baggage policy for active and retired CF and US military personnel -http://www.aircanada.com/en/news/140529.html .   Apparently the Air Canada reference number is "ACP 685071 - Military Baggage" if your check in clerk is unfamiliar with the new policy.  Three bags vice one and 70 pounds each vice 50 - quite an improvement.  I gather online you check "1" bag then have them let you check in at the counter your extra at no charge.  Identification military or retired needed.  I verified this by doing a separate search of the Air Canada website and it is true.  Pass it on to your military acquaintances.
