Every passenger is required to have valid identification documents. Please contact your airline for current documentation requirements. Remember, if you’re traveling to the United States or internationally, you will need a passport or proof of citizenship for travel.

Traveling Outside of Canada?

When traveling outside of Canada, ensure your passport will be valid for the entire length of your journey and meets the minimum entry requirements for the country you are traveling to. A driver’s licence is not sufficient as an identification document to travel internationally.

Traveling Inside Canada?

Every adult passenger is required to have valid identification documents.

Without a parent

When children are traveling without a parent, they will typically require a notarized document. If you are sending a child unaccompanied on a flight, please contact your airline for more information.

Non-related to child

If you are traveling with a child that is not related to you, you will likely require documentation for travel from the child’s parent or guardian. Please contact your airline for more information including identification requirements.

Pets are permitted inside our terminal building provided that they are kept on a leash and monitored at all times. We remind our visitors that they are responsible for picking up after their pets while in the terminal building and while outside the airport terminal.

If you are traveling with your pet, you must contact your airline to pre-arrange traveling with a pet. Each airline has a limited number of animals that can travel on a given flight.

We suggest asking your airline about the options available to you, as well as the type of crate to use, how to prepare your pet, any restrictions, and about applicable fees. In most cases, this information is provided on your airline’s website.

We have several grassy, pet relief areas located just outside of the airport’s terminal building. We kindly ask that all owners ensure to pick up after their pets.

Every passenger is responsible for their luggage. Never leave your luggage unattended. For everyone’s safety, all unattended luggage will be removed by airport security.

Unfortunately, the airport does not offer any luggage storage options.

Baggage Carts

Complimentary baggage carts are conveniently located throughout the airport.

Luggage Allowances

The baggage allowance (number of pieces, size, and weight) for checked and carry-on luggage may differ from one airline to another. Fees may apply for excess baggage. Please contact your airline for more information.
