Check in early

You can check in for your flight at any time within 24 hours of departure when you use our convenient Web check-in or Mobile check-in options, or within 12 hours at one of our self-service check-in kiosks located in most of the airports Air Canada serves. You should check in no later than the times indicated in the ‘Recommended check-in time’ column.

Although you can check in as early as 24 hours before your flight, please note that baggage may only be checked in at the baggage drop-off counter at the earliest:

• four (4) hours prior to departure for flights from Canada or the U.S., and
• three (3) hours prior to departure for flights from all other locations.
