Air Canada, Canada’s largest full-service airline, now offers web check-in for most passengers. This service allows passengers to check in and print their own boarding passes without having to go through an agent at an Air Canada counter. Passengers can use web check-in from 24 hours before their departure time up to 30 minutes before departure for flights within Canada or one hour before flights to U.S. or international destinations. Web check-in is available with paper or electronic tickets for all Canadian flights and many international flights, but only electronic tickets can be used for web check-in for flights to the U.S.
