-For both checked and carry-on luggage, be aware of your baggage number, size, and weight restrictions and adhere to them.
-Put your name and contact details on the outside baggage tags and inside checked bags. It contains information that will enable the bag return to you if the airline baggage tags fall loose.
-Keys, cash, prescription drugs, laptops, and valuables should always be kept in a carry-on bag that can fit beneath the front seat.
-Remember to review the pre-boarding security screening criteria here, which include things like liquid limitations and leaving gifts unwrapped.
Get to the airport promptly and find your way around the terminals.
The Air Canada app lists the three essential actions to get you on your journey as soon as possible, along with suggested arrival timings and terminal details:
Step 1: Print and attach your tag at a self-serve kiosk.
Step 2: At the drop-off location, inspect your bag.
Step 3: Proceed to the gate and security to unwind before boarding.
Put an AirTag or other Find My network device in your checked luggage when you go.
In the unlikely event that their baggage are delayed, customers can use the new Share Item position function to securely and secretly share with Air Canada customer support the position of their AirTag or Find My network accessory so that they can reconnect them with consumers more promptly.

-Location sharing will instantly stop as soon as a client is reunited with their bag, and it can be stopped at any time. It will also automatically expire after seven days for the privacy and protection of customers.
-Customers should confirm that their Apple device is running iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, or macOS 15.2 or later in order to utilize the new Share Item Location feature.
