To satisfy your hunger, we offer a wide variety of meal and snack choices as part of our Bistro service. You can also pre-order a Chef Jérôme Ferrer Bistro box or a Bistro pre-paid voucher prior to your flight.

Yes, Air Canada serves food, but the type and cost depend on your destination, duration of flight, and cabin class in 2026. For International long-haul flights (e.g., Canada to Europe or Asia), a full "meal service" including a hot entree, salad, and dessert is complimentary in all cabins, including Economy. For North American domestic and "Sun" flights (e.g., Toronto to Vancouver or New York), Economy passengers do not receive a free meal; instead, they can purchase items from the "Air Canada Bistro" menu, which includes sandwiches, snacks, and "fresh" wraps. However, for those flying in Business Class or Signature Class on any route, high-quality multi-course meals created by renowned Canadian chefs are always included. In 2026, Air Canada has also standardized "Special Meals" (Gluten-free, Kosher, Halal, Vegan) which must be requested at least 24 hours in advance. Interestingly, even in Economy on short flights, a small complimentary snack (like pretzels) and a non-alcoholic beverage service are still provided as a standard part of the Air Canada "hospitality" experience.

In 2026, Air Canada's food service depends on your route and class of service. On international long-haul flights, a full, complimentary hot meal service is provided in all cabins, including Economy. In Air Canada Signature Class (Business), passengers enjoy a multi-course gourmet menu curated by celebrity chefs, often featuring items like tuna tataki or venison carpaccio. However, for domestic and North American flights (including to the U.S. and Caribbean) in Economy, food is generally not free. Instead, passengers can purchase items from the Air Canada Bistro menu, which includes fresh sandwiches, wraps, and snacks. Passengers in North American Business Class do receive a complimentary hot meal on flights over two hours. For all flights, basic beverages like coffee, tea, and soft drinks remain complimentary. If you have dietary restrictions, it is a "pro-tip" to order your special meal (like Kosher, Halal, or Gluten-Free) at least 24 hours in advance via the "Manage My Booking" portal.
