Air Canada standardizes check-in cutoff times
Starting tomorrow (September 4, 2024) Air Canada will standardize their check-in cutoff times for all flights. The new cutoff will be 60 minutes for domestic, U.S. and International flight check in. The exceptions to this rule are flights from YTZ (Toronto Island Billy Bishop Airport) and the Landline bus service out of Hamilton (YHM) and Kitchener/Waterloo (YKF) which all have 30 minutes check-in cutoffs.
With this expanded cutoff Air Canada states that upgrades for status members will be processed 15 minutes earlier so they are able to board the plane based on the upgraded zone.
