Air Canada customers traveling from the United States can now obtain electronic boarding passes at U.S. airports. The option simplifies check-in and boarding, and eases access to TSA Pre✓. Benefits include dedicated lanes and less intrusive search measures, making it easier for pre-approved travelers to pass through security.

“For frequent business travelers TSA Pre✓ is attractive because many already have Nexus or other recognized security documents to qualify,” said Benjamin Smith, president, passenger airlines, Air Canada.

Electronic boarding passes are now, or will soon be, available for all 52 U.S. airports Air Canada serves, allowing customers to complete their web check-in and obtain their boarding pass via email or text message. Customers completing mobile check-in for departures from any airport in the U.S. may also now obtain their boarding pass directly on their smartphone. Customers who are eligible for Pre✓ will no longer be required to print their boarding pass at the airport with an Air Canada agent or from an Air Canada self-service check-in kiosk to take advantage of expedited security clearance.
