Identification for Children

Passengers are responsible for obtaining valid travel documents (passport, visa or other required documents) that comply with the entry and exit requirements for domestic and international flights. Since entry and exit requirements may change without notice, please consult the Government of Canada's website at www.travel.gc.ca for more information.

Domestic flights (travel within Canada)

• Any passenger under 18 must present proof of age in the form of a birth certificate or provincial health care card. 
  

Travel to and from the United States

• Adults, children and infants are required to have a valid passport for travel to and from the United States.
• Please visit the U.S. Department of State website for more information on requirements for travel to the United States.

Travel to and from an International Destination

• Adults, children, and infants must have a valid passport to travel to and from an international destination.

• Each passenger is responsible for ensuring they have the necessary documents for travel. Always travel with the proper documentation.

Child Baggage Allowance

When you travel with a child, they will be subject to the baggage allowance associated with their ticket. Fees will apply to strollers, car seats, restraint devices, playpens, and portable highchairs.

At the Airport

We provide a gate-check service for some items, such as strollers, and recommend that passengers bring them through security if it makes their airport journey easier. These items can be gate-checked. However, they are subject to the baggage guidelines and fees associated with their ticket. 

Passengers can bring formula and/or breastmilk through security for their child; however, under the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, they must be 100 ml/100 g (3.4 oz) or less. For more information, please visit their website at What can I bring? - CATSA.

Restrictions when Travelling with Children

All children between the ages of 2 and 12 are eligible for family seating, which is arranged automatically 24 hours before a flight's departure. 

Children between 2 and 12 must:

• Be accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or older
• Occupy their own seat on the aircraft
