Travel & Security:
Transport Canada has implemented strengthened security measures with regard to passengers, carry-on luggage and electronic devices.
Effective immediately, screening officers may ask travelers to present electronics for screening and request that some devices, including cell phones, are powered on. Powerless or broken devices will not be permitted onboard the aircraft. For this reason, please ensure that any electronic devices that you will be taking on the plane are fully powered before you arrive at the airport.
Travelers and their carry-on luggage may also undergo additional screening.
These new measures may cause delays, we recommend that you arrive well in advance of departure to allow for check-in, baggage drop-off, security screening and boarding. It’s recommended you arrive at your gate well in advance since some screening may be performed at the gate as well.
