More flexibility for advisors, clients with ACV Options

Describing it as “a game changing value proposition created exclusively for travel advisors, Air Canada vacations has rolled out ACV Options.

Announced during its five-city #ACVDreamMakers Launch Tour across Canada, the new initiative reinforces ACV’s commitment to providing enhanced flexibility and comprehensive support for its trusted travel partners.

Nino Montagnese, Vice President, Air Canada Vacations, explained that: “We know how challenging it can be for our travel advisors to navigate client demands while respecting strict booking deadlines. That’s why we developed this flexible booking solution to simplify the process, reduce stress, and empower our advisors to better serve their clients.”

With ACV Options, advisors can now reserve vacation packages for up to 24 hours and tours for up to 48 hours without requiring a deposit.

If no payment is made by the deadline, the system will automatically cancel the booking, no manual action required. The seamless feature allows travel advisors to hold space while clients finalize their travel decisions, ensuring peace of mind and operational efficiency.

The program applies to all pre-packaged vacations and tour packages within the Air Canada Vacations portfolio.

The ACV Options policy has a blackout period between Dec. 18, and Jan. 3 of any travel year. This option is not applicable for departures within 28 days of the booking date. This offer is available exclusively to Air Canada Vacations’ travel advisor partners.
