Air Canada expands Web Check-In

Air Canada is expanding its online check-in service to include all of its flights departing Canada. Effective today, Air Canada customers departing Canada to any destination in the United States or overseas can check-in and print boarding passes from the convenience of their home or office by simply visiting www.aircanada.com . The availability of this service will be further expanded in the near future to include international flights bound for Canada.

By simply logging on to www.aircanada.com, Air Canada customers are able to enter their Aeroplan number or credit card used to purchase the ticket, select their seats and print out their boarding card - all before arriving at the airport. Eligible ticket holders may also standby for an earlier flight and request upgrades to Executive Class. Web check-in is available within 12 hours before a flight, and up to one hour before domestic Canada flight departures or two hours before U.S. and international flight departures, to give enough time for customers to arrive at the airport. Upon arrival at the airport, customers with baggage proceed to the Express Baggage Drop-off or check-in counter. Customers without baggage to check proceed directly to security screening and make their way to the gate.

For customers who choose to check-in at the airport, Air Canada has also simplified the use of its self-service check-in kiosks at airports across Canada. Beginning this week, Air Canada customers using the carrier's self- service kiosks can check-in with or without using a credit card or their frequent flyer member card. To make checking-in simpler, customers now have the option of simply entering their booking reference number, Aeroplan membership number or Star Alliance member frequent flyer number.

Alternatively, customers have the option of swiping their Aeroplan or Star Alliance frequent flyer member card or a credit card.
