How can I rebook a flight with Air Canada?

Air Canada rebooking starts with ticket control: direct Air Canada record, agency ticket or another carrier's document. Then separate voluntary plans from an Air Canada schedule change. Price all partner segments together, protect the original until the replacement is clear and verify the new ticket plus seats after reissue. Retrieve the Air Canada booking reference and determine whether Air Canada, an agency or another airline issued the ticket. For this rebooking decision, reconcile AirCanada ManageBooking with active ticket versus stored credit object, then compare AirCanada retained-value against remaining credit after value application. Save the Air Canada receipt and verify the reissued ticket, remaining value, seats and all partner-operated segments.
