New Carryon restrictions
MONTREAL, Sept. 16 /CNW/ - Air Canada advises its customers of the following in order to facilitate compliance with the enhanced security measures in place at Canadian airports:
- Passengers should arrive no later than two hours prior to their departure for domestic flights and no later than three hours prior to their departure for transborder and international flights. The airline is requesting passengers not to arrive any earlier as currently many passengers are arriving earlier than these timeframes thereby adding to the congestion and slowing down the processing of passengers.
- Passengers are requested to carry photo identification regardless of destination. The heightened level of security may include the requirement for passengers to present photo identification before boarding their flight regardless of the destination.
- Passengers are requested to limit their carry-on baggage to one item.
- Passengers are requested to leave at home all non-essential electronic devices (including such items as hair dryers and electric razors). Any essential electronic device should be packed as carry-on baggage and not as checked baggage.
- Although Air Canada recommends that customers not proceed to the airport without reservations, passengers will be accommodated on a stand-by basis at the airport if possible.
