Customers will need to provide a doctor’s note
MONTREAL – Air Canada says it is allowing passengers and companions in their immediate family to change bookings or receive a refund if they cancel flights because of concerns about the Zika virus outbreak.
The company says customers will need to provide a doctor’s note that says they are at risk of contracting the mosquito-borne virus in order for them to change bookings or get a refund on flights to countries where Zika has been detected.

The tour operator is not offering refunds and changes are only permitted for those staying in the same hotel room.
This comes after United Airlines and American Airlines in the U.S. announced they were offering refunds to passengers concerned about the virus.
