Consumers Can Now Turn Travel Dreams into Reality with Fixed, Affordable Monthly Payments
MONTREAL, QC and SUNNYVALE, CA – October 26, 2021 – Air Canada Vacations and Uplift today announced a partnership bringing flexible payment options to Canadians seeking to book their next vacation getaway. Travellers can now pay for their trips over time with Uplift on aircanadavacations.com.
For those who have always dreamed of exploring the volcanic wonders of Hawaii or taking their children on a beach escape, Uplift provides the freedom to book their trip when they are ready and spread the cost over affordable monthly payments. Consumers can easily compare the costs of paying monthly with those of paying upfront, choosing the option that works best for them. There are no late or early payment penalties and travellers clearly see the monthly payment amount and total cost of the trip at the time of booking.
“Today’s consumers want more flexibility and we are excited to offer Uplift and help more people’s dreams travel,” said Air Canada Vacations Vice President Nino Montagnese. “The added flexibility for customers to pay over time through the Uplift partnership allows our customers to take the holidays they’ve been waiting for.”
