What is Air Canada’s cancellation policy for Basic Economy?

I booked a Basic Economy ticket with Air Canada for a quick getaway, but my plans changed last minute. I wasn’t sure if I could cancel without losing my money. I called 877-764-3622, and the agent patiently explained that Basic Economy fares are mostly non-refundable. However, they checked my booking and confirmed that I could receive a travel credit to use later. They even walked me through how to apply it for a future flight. I was relieved because I thought I’d lose the entire fare. Honestly, handling it online would have been confusing, but the call made the process simple and stress-free. If you ever need to cancel a Basic Economy ticket, calling that number is the fastest way to understand your options, secure any possible credit, and avoid unnecessary frustration.
