Coming to the Airport

For a seamless, mostly contactless, airport experience travellers are encouraged to:

  • Come to the airport at least two hours before your flight to make sure you get through security with enough time to catch your flight. 
  • Check-in for your flight before coming to the airport, to limit touchpoints.
  • Check-in with WestJet and Air Canada domestic flights and United Airlines flights before you come to airport and pay any applicable airline baggage fees. Then you can collect your bag tags at the kiosk without contact with a check-in agent or touching the screen.
  • Bring a mask or face covering with you. Please see the tab below for more information on face coverings. 

The airport is reminding staff, guests and visitors to only enter the building IF it is required to do so, for travel or imminent work. For passenger pick-up or drop off, it is recommended visitors don’t enter the airport and are encouraged to use our cellphone lot and curbside pick-up options. See exceptions for those not travelling who may still enter the terminal building.

Exceptions for wearing face masks or coverings:    

  • Children under the age of two.
  • A person who provides a medical certificate certifying they are unable to wear a face mask for medical reasons.
  • If the person is unable to remove a face covering without assistance.
  • If a person is eating or drinking.

The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) has updated its face covering guidelines. The following face coverings are not permitted at passenger screening checkpoints: 

  • face coverings with exhalation valves or vents
  • face shield only 
  • bandanas and neck gaiters
  • lace or mesh mask
  • militaristic masks such as gas masks
  • face coverings that cover the entire face
