TRAVELLING WITH PETS
If you’re travelling with a pet, check with your airline for details on their pet policies. Some airlines allow small animals in the cabin, while others require them to travel in the cargo hold. Passengers must comply with airline regulations, and we recommend arriving early to ensure a smooth check-in process.
For your pet’s comfort before departure, a designated relief area is available inside the terminal.

CHECK-IN & CONNECTIONS FOR DOMESTIC FLIGHTS
Most airlines offer multiple check-in options: online, through a mobile, at self-service kiosks, or directly at the airport check-in counter. To save time, we recommend completing your check-in online before arriving at the airport.
For flights within Canada, passengers are generally required to check in at least 90 minutes before departure. If you have checked baggage, allow extra time to drop it off at the designated counter.
For connecting flights, check with your airline to confirm whether your baggage will be automatically transferred to your final destination or if you’ll need to collect and recheck it along the way.
