New CleanCare+ Program from Air Canada includes Mandatory Temperature Checks and Care Kits To Give Travellers Peace of Mind

Air Canada wants to ensure all passengers can fly with confidence once we are able to start travelling again. Their newly announced CleanCare+ program should help do that. It will use new biosecurity standards and enhancing preventive measures to elevate the steps they are taking to keep us safe throughout our travel with them.

CHECK-IN

Health screening questions and pre-flight infrared temperature checks for customers, as well as the disinfection of frequently touched areas such as check-in counters and kiosks, are just some of the measures implemented for your safety.

ONBOARD

Additional preventive measures like blocking the adjacent seat in Economy Class, mandatory face coverings, and adjusted onboard service are also in place to better protect customers and employees.

All high-touch areas are sanitized with a hospital-grade disinfectant before every flight and each time an aircraft overnights it receives a thorough cleaning.

Other onboard procedures that will be used moving forward include:

All seat belt buckles and seat controls are sanitized inside and out.
Properly wipe and sanitize each armrest.
Sanitizing cabin windows and shades to help you enjoy the view.
Light switches and air circulation controls are properly sanitized.
From May 15 to June 30, 2020 blocking every adjacent seat in the Economy cabin for more personal space.
Crew sanitizes all ceiling areas when an aircraft overnights.
Sanitize the inside of each overhead bin when aircraft overnights.
HEPA filtration systems capture 99.9% of airborne particles and continually refreshes cabin air.
They are asking all customers to wear protective face coverings.
Employees will now wear face coverings throughout the flight, with other PPE items available.
Sanitizing all tray tables before boarding for your clients’ safety.
Serving bottled water and pre-packaged meals on flights where complimentary meals are offered.
Rigorously grooming all headrest covers
Sanitize personal screens and all surfaces of the in-flight entertainment area.
Electrostatic disinfectant sprayer as part of sanitization procedures.

We expect to hear a lot more from various airlines, resorts and tour operators about how they are going to work to ensure your safety and well-being while travelling. We intended to share on this blog the latest information for about the brands and suppliers we work with who. These are providers that we know are able to accommodate vegans and those with other dietary requirements so that when the time is right we can get back out there and experience amazing destinations and accommodations while staying true to your values and principles.

Why should vegans book with Vegan Vacations?

Vegans should be booking their vacations & trips with us because they'll have an advocate on their side throughout this process. Now more than ever, it's important to have someone working with you in case of issues and to make the booking process as simple as possible. We help our clients book amazing hotels, resorts, excursions, flights or experiences that will be out of this world. We do all the research and prep work so you can get back to enjoying your vacation rather than planning it. Our clients have access to additional resources that will allow them to experience their destination in a truly vegan way. Every booking helps us in our mission of "amplifying the vegan traveller's voice" and more bookings means more choice for us in the future. We are also vegans ourselves and understand the importance of ensuring our dietary needs will be met while we are travelling.
And the best part, in most cases, the prices you see online are the prices available to us for you so you'll pay no extra fees* to use our services and whenever a fee will apply we discuss them up-front so there no surprises for you from start to finish. Our planning fee is the most common fee we charge and it really isn't a fee because it will be applied to your final payment and acts as a good faith deposit ensuring that the time and energy that goes into your researching your trip will not go unpaid should you decide to book elsewhere. But, we know once we speak with you, you'll be more excited to get back out there and explore the world post-COVID-19. We are here when you are ready to start dreaming!
