Air Canada has introduced a new seat assignment policy for passengers with standard or basic fares, sparking discontent among travelers. Starting April 24, during check-in, passengers will be automatically assigned seats at no extra cost. However, those wishing to change their assigned seats will now incur a fee. This change aligns Air Canada's practices with other airlines, some of which are also Canadian, where changing an assigned seat post-check-in requires a payment. The policy has been met with criticism on social media, with some calling it a "money grab" and others expressing concern about the increasing costs of air travel. Despite the backlash, Air Canada maintains that this policy offers passengers the flexibility to choose their preferred seating for an additional fee, and ensures that families flying together will still be seated without extra charges.
