Security Screening
- Checked baggage containing items that are prohibited onboard an aircraft may be opened by authorized security screeners for further inspection.
- If further inspection is required, guests departing a Canadian airport may be contacted by security to be present during the inspection of their baggage. Guests departing a U.S. airport will not be contacted.
- Your attention to what items are considered restricted will help in expediting the checked baggage screening process and will minimize the potential that you or your baggage will be delayed.
- Please refer to the following sources for more information on what you can - and can't - take on your flight.
