Air Canada - Web Check-In

Save time with the aircanada.com Web Check-in service for travel from Canada to the world, and from select U.S. and select international cities** to Canada.

Web Check-in at aircanada.com is offered for:

Air Canada and Air Canada Jazz flights from Canada* to anywhere in the world
Departures from select US airports to Canada (with electronic ticket only)
Departures from select international cities** (with electronic or paper ticket)
Passengers travelling with or without baggage

It's easy. To issue your own boarding pass, just log on to aircanada.com as early as 12 hours or as late as 1 hour before departure for flights within Canada, 1.5 hours before U.S. departures and 2 hours before for international flights. Have the following identification in hand:

Either Credit card used to purchase your electronic ticket or
Aeroplan number included in your reservation or
Booking reference (either a 6 digit Air Canada reference or booking reference provided by your travel agent) and Passport and required travel document

When you have no bags to check:

Go straight to security
Then proceed to your departure gate

With your boarding pass if you have bags to check:

Go to the Baggage Drop-off position or the Air Canada check-in counter at least 1 hour prior to departure for flights within Canada, 45 minutes prior to departure to/from the U.S. and 1 hour before for international flights. Baggage will not be accepted if you arrive at the counter after this time.

And you can use Web Check-in just like our Self-Service Check-in kiosks to:

Select a seat
Check your baggage
Standby for an earlier flight
Standby for upgrades (if eligible)

So get there fast, and have a more enjoyable trip, with our new expanded Web Check-in service.
