Air Canada ‘s check-in cut-off time is now just 60 minutes

Air Canada will be updating its check-in policy as of today (Sept. 4).

The check-in cutoff time will now be 60 minutes across all sectors with the exception of YTZ and its Landline bus service from YHM and YKF. 

This change ensures a smoother, more efficient boarding process, giving customers peace of mind as they prepare for takeoff.

A key benefit for status members is that upgrades will be processed 15 minutes earlier enabling you to board with your zone.

As a reminder, Air Canada guests can check in their bags as early as four hours before their flight’s departure. This helps reduce congestion at security and customs.

For international flights, the baggage drop-off time is 60 minutes, however for domestic flights customers can still drop off their bags up to 45 minutes before departure.
