Troubleshooting

Air Canada WiFi not working — common fixes

Forget the network and reconnect; toggle airplane mode off and on; clear your browser cache; try a different browser (Safari often handles captive portals better than Chrome on iOS); only one device per pass on most plans, so make sure no other device is connected.

Air Canada WiFi password — what is it / where do I find it

Most Air Canada flights use a captive portal — no password is required. If a password is requested, it's usually printed on the seatback card or available in the airline's app pre-flight. For Gogo-powered airlines, the portal asks for an account login (email + password), not a network password.

Can't see the Air Canada WiFi network

Turn airplane mode off and back on, manually rescan for WiFi networks, and check that your device's WiFi is enabled. Most in-flight WiFi only becomes available above 10,000 ft, so it may not appear right after takeoff.

WiFi connected but no internet on Air Canada

You're likely connected to the aircraft network but haven't completed sign-in or purchase yet. Open any HTTP site (try neverssl.com) to trigger the captive portal, then sign in or buy a plan.

Air Canada WiFi receipt or refund

Most Air Canada WiFi receipts come from the provider (Bell-sponsored Wi-Fi (Intelsat / Gogo 2Ku Ka-band on retrofit fleet)), not the airline. Check your email for receipts from Bell-sponsored Wi-Fi (Intelsat / Gogo 2Ku Ka-band on retrofit fleet). For refunds, contact the provider's support directly. If you can't find a receipt, see /air-canada-wifi-cost for typical pricing context.
