Book your services in advance

 

Travel better prepared

  • Download your airline's mobile application to find out more about their baggage policy and your flight status.
  • Complete your check-in from your phone, at one of our touchless kiosks, or online (up to 24 hours in advance via their app or website).

    Make sure you have all your travel documents on hand: plane tickets, valid passport, visa, etc.

 

Check your luggage before your flight

  • Visit the CATSA website for details on what is permitted in your checked and carry-on luggage.
  • Make sure to keep all your personal belongings (medication, wallet, passports, valuables, and electronic items) in your carry-on luggage.
  • Place wrapped gifts in checked baggage. If this is not possible, we remind you that gifts placed in hand baggage should not be wrapped, as their contents may need to be inspected.

 

Arrive 3 hours early, regardless of your destination

  • Plan your way to the airport, whether you are flying to an international, U.S., or domestic destination. Follow the link to the access page to determine the best option according to your needs.
  • Refer to Québec 511 to plan your travel to and from the airport.
  • Text your flight number to 23636 to find out the status of your flight. Standard text messaging rates apply.
