Last Tuesday I got 3 emails for my flights tomorrow indicating my documents were approved. On Thursday, a waitlisted upgrade cleared. When I went to check in today, I was required to reload my proof of vaccination for the flight for which the waitlist cleared. Oh well, at least the upgrade cleared!

Hi all,
I booked with Aeroplan and when I login to my booking on the Air Canada website, I don't see a place to upload documents or even enter my passport details (flying to TPA on Saturday). It's my first time flying since pre-covid and I seem to have always been able to put passport info in well in advance (as I thought the US wanted this at least 72 hours prior?), but reading this and seeing people uploading their covid documentation before checkin leaves me wondering and asking, how?

I just checked in via the mobile app for a domestic flight, my first AC flight in over 2 years. Uploaded a screen shot of my vax info - it's the BC/Canada one with the QR code, same one I used on WS to/fro OGG last month. AC says it's not valid. 
Hopefully they'll accept the paper version at the gate. I don't have anything else.

Convert you screen shot to a PDF file and submit a PDF file. Good chance it will get accepted.

Tried scanning the QR code - didn’t work. Tried uploading the pdf - it said a human would review and advise by email. Email next day said not valid. Showed the paper copy to the GA - good to go. Some things just can’t be automated.
