When to arrive at the airport before a flight
It is important to arrive at the airport well ahead of your scheduled departure. The minimum amounts of time to allow before your flight are:

You must check in with your airline upon arrival at the airport. To facilitate check-in, prepare all necessary documents beforehand and make sure that all of your luggage is clearly identified.
According to the Secure Air Travel Regulations, the documents required to take a domestic flight are:
- your boarding pass
and
- one piece of valid government-issued photo identification that shows the holder’s name, date of birth and gender;
or
- two pieces of valid government-issued identification, at least one of which shows the holder’s name, date of birth and gender;
or

The requirements are different for international travel, and you will need a valid passport. To find out more, see the website of Public Safety Canada.
You will need to go through the security checkpoint before boarding.
If you need to travel with a service animal, visit the Canadian Transportation Agency website and contact your airline a few days in advance.
