Advice needed: Transferring a non-refundable Standard fare to a family member (Booked via Capital One Travel)
As the title says, I purchased two round-trip tickets to Japan for an upcoming trip (Aug 28th). I bought both tickets through the Capital One Travel portal, and they are Air Canada "Standard" economy fares (non-refundable).
Ideally, I need to transfer one of the tickets to my brother. I called Air Canada support, and they weren’t helpful at all. I know third-party bookings complicate things, but I'm trying to avoid having $1,000 completely disappear.
Does anyone know if there is any workaround to transfer the name on a Standard fare? If I cancel and get a Future Travel Credit, is there any way to apply that credit to a ticket for my brother? Any advice on how to keep this money from being completely wasted would be hugely appreciated.
