What is the 0142458912345 AIR CANADA charge?

Decoding 0142458912345 AIR CANADA

The line item 0142458912345 AIR CANADA on your statement represents an airline ticket purchase or travel fee from Air Canada. As the flag carrier of Canada, Air Canada uses the International Air Transport Association (IATA) airline accounting code 014. On billing statements, this 3-digit prefix precedes a unique 10-digit electronic ticket number, followed by the airline name. This descriptor confirms an official transaction directly through the airline reservation system rather than an unverified third party.

This charge appears when you purchase domestic, transborder, or international flights, such as a $380.00 round trip between the United States and Canada. The charge may cover Standard, Flex, Latitude, Premium Economy, or Signature Class airfare. It also posts when you pay government taxes and airport carrier surcharges on an Aeroplan reward redemption, or when you purchase flight changes, extra baggage allowances, or unaccompanied minor services. If someone in your household booked travel recently, the purchase will post under the purchaser's payment card.

To verify the booking details, locate the 13-digit ticket number starting with 014 from your bank line item. Visit aircanada.com and go to the My Bookings portal, or check your email for an electronic ticket receipt sent at the time of purchase. Entering your 6-character booking reference code and passenger last name will display the complete flight itinerary, passenger names, and itemized fare breakdown.

Under both U.S. Department of Transportation regulations and Canadian aviation rules, you can cancel an Air Canada flight ticket within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, provided the booking was made at least seven days before departure. If you do not recognize the transaction and nobody in your home booked travel, contact your credit card company promptly to report potential card fraud, because airline tickets are a common target for unauthorized card usage.

Refunds and Cancellation

Your ability to get a refund depends on the fare brand you selected. Basic and Standard economy fares are generally non-refundable after the 24-hour grace period, though you may receive travel credit minus applicable cancellation fees. In contrast, Comfort, Flex, and Latitude fares provide greater refund flexibility, often allowing refunds directly to your original payment card.

If Air Canada cancels or significantly delays your flight due to reasons within the airline's control, you are entitled to a complete cash refund under the Canadian Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) and U.S. consumer flight rules. You can submit refund requests directly through the customer relations portal at aircanada.com/customerrelations.

Avoid initiating a bank dispute or chargeback while your flight ticket is active if you still intend to travel. When an airline receives a chargeback notice from a payment card issuer, it automatically cancels the reservation and voids the electronic ticket coupons, which can leave you stranded at the departure gate.
