Here’s an exciting opportunity to travel to Singapore.
The Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software lists fares starting at $761 for Basic Economy. When using these dates on Google Flights, you can find prices as low as $707 for Basic Economy and $903 for Regular Economy.
Air Canada offers the $903 fare, which includes one checked bag and standard carry-on luggage in their Regular Economy category.
Alternatively, the $707 fare falls under Basic Economy / Economy Light, which comes with some restrictions:
- NO advance seat assignments permitted
- NO checked bags included—these will incur a fee of $75 for the first bag and $100 for the second each way
- NO changes allowed
- NO cancellations permitted—cancellation after the 24-hour risk-free window renders the Basic Economy ticket void for future use
Many online travel agencies may not accurately reflect Air Canada’s Basic Economy fares.
