Electronic Tickets
Welcome to the world of electronic ticketing, the time-saving, ticketless way to travel!
Electronic ticketing, also known as E-ticket, allows your entire travel experience to be easy, safe and electronic. It is as easy as asking for an Electronic ticket* next time you book a flight with Air Canada or your travel agent. It is efficient by making it a snap for you to make changes and cancellations. Electronic tickets are electronic, which means no more paper tickets -- your ticket is stored in our computer system waiting for you when you arrive at the airport.
Notes*:
* Please contact the Air Canada Call Center or your travel agent to ensure your booking is E-ticket eligible or not.
* A paper ticket fee of CA$30 may apply to some E-ticket eligible itineraries when issued as paper. Non E-ticket eligible itineraries are exempt from this fee (carrier/route ineligibility, infant tickets, etc.).
Here's how it works:
Special services
Upgrade certificates, excess baggage and other special services will be processed as usual.
Electronic ticket destinations
Electronic ticketing is available for our customers to/from China.
Electronic ticketing is also available throughout Canada and most of our transborder and international destinations. Select your destination from the sub-menu below to know if your next flight experience can be electronic.
For additional information regarding our destinations, contact your local travel agent or visit the Contact Us section for the address of your local Air Canada ticket office.
Day of travel
Ensure you have your itinerary / receipt, the credit card used to purchase the ticket and / or valid photo I.D. and all necessary travel documents. Name on the I.D. must match the name on the itinerary / receipt.
Effective May 1, 2006 Interline prepaid tickets will no longer be sold.
Air Canada currently offers interline E-tickets with most of the other Star Alliance partners. Air Canada, together with its Star partners, offers a global, seamless Star E-ticket product.
