This convenient service provides Air Canada passengers with a smooth, hassle-free, and eco-friendly travel experience.

Three winter travel tips

Travelling over a holiday or other busy time? Remember these three tips to avoid stress:

  1. Always check the status of your flight before leaving for the airport.
  2. Give yourself extra time when heading to the airport, especially during a busy travel season.
  3. If travelling with gifts for friends and loved ones, make sure that they are not wrapped as they may need to be inspected by security. Need a last-minute gift? Stop by Stockyards at YKF, located in the departures lounge.

Safe travels to all of those flying from YKF this winter!
