There are a variety of check-in options at the airport, including online check-in and self-serve check-in.  The options available to you will vary depending on which airline you are flying with. Please contact your airline directly for their check-in options.

Check-in for Domestic and International flights can be found on the main level of the terminal building. Check-in for flights to the U.S. can be found on the second level of the terminal building, above the Arrivals area.

It is important to give yourself plenty of time before your flight to go through the check-in process. Each airline can suggest how early you should arrive at the airport before your flight. For information on when to arrive for your flight, please contact your airline directly before coming to the airport.

At a minimum, we suggest arriving at the airport 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international flight. Arriving at the airport early will help ensure you have enough time to park, get checked-in, go through security and get to your gate in time for your flight.

Passengers will be asked to show photo identification. Travellers flying to international destinations, including the United States, must have a valid passport.

NOTE: If you are travelling to the U.S., the hours of operation for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection preclearance is 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. If your flight is delayed past 5:00 p.m. you must ensure you are processed through U.S. preclearance in a sufficient time (by 4:30 p.m. is recommended).
