Air Canada announced on Wednesday it will offer free beer and wine on flights within Canada and the U.S. until the end of the year.
The airline offered complimentary food and alcoholic beverages on its international flights but up until now that wasn’t offered on domestic flights.
Pretzels and cookies will also be complimentary. The pretzels are from Alberta’s family-owned and female-led TWIGZ, Air Canada said. Quebec-based Leclerc’s Celebration Cookie will be offered.
The free beer includes Hop Valley, Creemore Springs Premium Lager, Molson Canadian and Coors Light while the wine list includes red and white French wines from Paul Mas.
