Simple question.........I think.

  • Hi everyone. I'm new to the board and had a question that i'm sure one of you should be able to answer. I'm going to London from Toronto in March. My flight is booked through BMI but it is on Air Canada metal. Can I use web check in? If so, when will my booking appear on the Air Canada website? As a person without any status, what are my chances of getting a decent seat in economy?
    Thanks/Merci to those who can help me with my questions. :)


  • No I didn't get a chance to pre-assign a seat. I booked through expedia. When I look up my booking on the BMI site, it refers to the fare as cheapest. Couldn't they have used a nicer sounding term like least expensive. Oh well I was looking for the cheapest and according to BMI that's what I got. :)
    Oh right... booking on BMI stock is probably the factor that prevented you from picking a seat on AC metal (not sure what the "lowest economy" fare was at the time you booked). Well, AFAIK through my own experiences, I have booked UA stock with AC metal on the first outbound and have used the AC online checkin no problem. Not sure if this applies to BD.


  • Zana,

    You should be able to use the web check-in. Sometimes it is necessary for some reason to have the AC file ref number for it to work however. You can check-in online as early as 12 hours prior to departure. I believe I am understanding that you show as a BD passenger on AC flight. If that is the case a res agent at AC would not be able to change your seats, however if you are booked as an AC passenger on BD ticket stock we may be able to change seats. Please check with res and an agent can look at your file. :)

    Well I guess I'll have to wait and see. Thanks for the prompt response. :)
    The fare that I got was also what ita software was saying was the cheapest for this paticular flight. Although expedia is saying that I should be able to checkin at the Air Canada kiosks.
