Air Canada’s New ‘Travel Ready Hub’ Provides Destination Entry Requirements, Interactive Map for Travellers

air canada travel requirements by country

Air Canada has unveiled its new 'Travel Ready Hub,' which will provide travellers with destination entry requirements and an interactive map to help prepare for upcoming trips.

Through the Hub, customers can obtain information such as necessary travel documentation, COVID-19 test requirements and country travel restrictions for any global destination.

"We continue to develop practical solutions to help our customers be travel-ready, wherever they want to go. This includes assisting them in navigating the changing entry requirements set by countries in our global network by making all relevant information available in one convenient place," said Lucie Guillemette, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Air Canada.

"But beyond making essential travel information readily accessible, our easy-to-use Travel Ready hub is designed to make it simple for customers to choose where to go next by showing the countries that are open to visitors through an interactive map."

Air Canada's Travel Ready Hub can be found here and on the mobile version of the carrier's site.

The airline has also published a video demonstrating the new, Travel Ready Hub:

The Travel Ready Hub contains a search widget so customers can search information specific to their situation and itinerary.

Other features include the ability to review entry requirements for every country on their itinerary, including if they are connecting via another country or traveling with an Air Canada airline partner; informs guests on the required COVID-19 test type (molecular or antigen) for travel as well as the valid time window as necessary; as well as providing travel advice related to airport arrival times, among others.

The new Travel Ready Hub is a part of Air Canada's initiatives to make travel planning easier in the post-COVID world, as well as to provide additional digital convenience.

This follows the airline's digital tool on its mobile app which allows customers to scan, upload, and verify their COVID-19 test results. It was originally trialed on 29JUN on flights between YYZ and YUL to FRA, as previously reported by OpenJaw .

Frequently Asked Questions: Guidance for Travelers to Enter the U.S.

Updated Date: April 21, 2022

Since January 22, 2022, DHS has required non-U.S. individuals seeking to enter the United States via land ports of entry and ferry terminals at the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and provide proof of vaccination upon request.  On April 21, 2022, DHS announced that it would extend these requirements. In determining whether and when to rescind this order, DHS anticipates that it will take account of whether the vaccination requirement for non-U.S. air travelers remains in place.

These requirements apply to non-U.S. individuals who are traveling for essential or non-essential reasons. They do not apply to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, or U.S. nationals.

Effective November 8, 2021, new air travel requirements applied to many noncitizens who are visiting the United States temporarily. These travelers are also required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination. All air travelers, including U.S. persons, must test negative for COVID-19 prior to departure. Limited exceptions apply. See  CDC guidance  for more details regarding air travel requirements.

Below is more information about what to know before you go, and answers to Frequently Asked Questions about cross-border travel.

Entering the U.S. Through a Land Port of Entry or Ferry Terminal

Q. what are the requirements for travelers entering the united states through land poes.

A:  Before embarking on a trip to the United States, non-U.S. travelers should be prepared for the following:

  • Possess proof of an approved COVID-19 vaccination as outlined on the  CDC  website.
  • During border inspection, verbally attest to their COVID-19 vaccination status. 
  • Bring a  Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative  compliant border crossing document, such as a valid passport (and visa if required), Trusted Traveler Program card, a Department of State-issued Border Crossing Card, Enhanced Driver’s License or Enhanced Tribal Card when entering the country. Travelers (including U.S. citizens) should be prepared to present the WHTI-compliant document and any other documents requested by the CBP officer.

 Q. What are the requirements to enter the United States for children under the age of 18 who can't be vaccinated?

A:  Children under 18 years of age are excepted from the vaccination requirement at land and ferry POEs.

Q: Which vaccines/combination of vaccines will be accepted?

A:  Per CDC guidelines, all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and authorized vaccines, as well as all vaccines that have an Emergency Use Listing (EUL) from the World Health Organization (WHO), will be accepted.

Accepted Vaccines:

  • More details are available in CDC guidance  here .
  • 2 weeks (14 days) after your dose of an accepted single-dose COVID-19 vaccine;
  • 2 weeks (14 days) after your second dose of an accepted 2-dose series;
  • 2 weeks (14 days) after you received the full series of an accepted COVID-19 vaccine (not placebo) in a clinical trial;
  • 2 weeks (14 days) after you received 2 doses of any “mix-and-match” combination of accepted COVID-19 vaccines administered at least 17 days apart.

Q. Is the United States requiring travelers to have a booster dose to be considered fully vaccinated for border entry purposes?

A:  No. The CDC guidance for “full vaccination” can be found here.

Q: Do U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents need proof of vaccination to return to the United States via land POEs and ferry terminals?

A:  No. Vaccination requirements do not apply to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs). Travelers that exhibit signs or symptoms of illness will be referred to CDC for additional medical evaluation.

Q: Is pre- or at-arrival COVID testing required to enter the United States via land POEs or ferry terminals?

A: No, there is no COVID testing requirement to enter the United States via land POE or ferry terminals. In this respect, the requirement for entering by a land POE or ferry terminal differs from arrival via air, where there is a requirement to have a negative test result before departure.

Processing Changes Announced on January 22, 2022 

Q: new changes were recently announced. what changed on january 22.

A:  Since January 22, 2022, non-citizens who are not U.S. nationals or Lawful Permanent Residents have been required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter the United States at land ports of entry and ferry terminals, whether for essential or nonessential purposes. Previously, DHS required that non-U.S. persons be vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter the United States for nonessential purposes.  Effective January 22, all non-U.S. individuals, to include essential travelers, must be prepared to attest to vaccination status and present proof of vaccination to a CBP officer upon request. DHS announced an extension of this policy on April 21, 2022.

Q: Who is affected by the changes announced on January 22?

A: This requirement does not apply to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents. It applies to other noncitizens, such as a citizen of Mexico, Canada, or any other country seeking to enter the United States through a land port of entry or ferry terminal.

Q: Do U.S. citizens need proof of vaccination to return to the United States via land port of entry or ferry terminals?

A: Vaccination requirements do not apply to U.S. Citizens, U.S. nationals or U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents. Travelers that exhibit signs or symptoms of illness will be referred to CDC for additional medical evaluation. 

Q: What is essential travel?

A:  Under the prior policy, there was an exception from temporary travel restrictions for “essential travel.” Essential travel included travel to attend educational institutions, travel to work in the United States, travel for emergency response and public health purposes, and travel for lawful cross-border trade (e.g., commercial truckers). Under current policy, there is no exception for essential travel.

Q: Will there be any exemptions? 

A: While most non-U.S. individuals seeking to enter the United States will need to be vaccinated, there is a narrow list of exemptions consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Order in the air travel context.

  • Certain categories of individuals on diplomatic or official foreign government travel as specified in the CDC Order
  • Children under 18 years of age;
  • Certain participants in certain COVID-19 vaccine trials as specified in the CDC Order;   
  • Individuals with medical contraindications to receiving a COVID-19 vaccine as specified in the CDC Order;
  • Individuals issued a humanitarian or emergency exception by the Secretary of Homeland Security;
  • Individuals with valid nonimmigrant visas (excluding B-1 [business] or B-2 [tourism] visas) who are citizens of a country with limited COVID-19 vaccine availability, as specified in the CDC Order
  • Members of the U.S. Armed Forces or their spouses or children (under 18 years of age) as specified in the CDC Order; and
  • Individuals whose entry would be in the U.S. national interest, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Q: What documentation will be required to show vaccination status?

A:  Non-U.S. individuals are required to be prepared to attest to vaccination status and present proof of vaccination to a CBP officer upon request regardless of the purpose of travel.

The current documentation requirement remains the same and is available on the CDC website . Documentation requirements for entry at land ports of entry and ferry terminals mirror those for entry by air.

Q: What happens if someone doesn’t have proof of vaccine status?

A: If non-U.S. individuals cannot present proof of vaccination upon request, they will not be admitted into the United States and will either be subject to removal or be allowed to withdraw their application for entry.

Q: Will incoming travelers be required to present COVID-19 test results?

A: There is no COVID-19 testing requirement for travelers at land border ports of entry, including ferry terminals.

Q: What does this mean for those who can't be vaccinated, either due to age or other health considerations? 

A: See CDC guidance for additional information on this topic. Note that the vaccine requirement does not apply to children under 18 years of age.

Q: Does this requirement apply to amateur and professional athletes?

A: Yes, unless they qualify for one of the narrow CDC exemptions.

Q: Are commercial truckers required to be vaccinated?

A: Yes, unless they qualify for one of the narrow CDC exemptions. These requirements also apply to bus drivers as well as rail and ferry operators.

Q. Do you expect border wait times to increase?

A:  As travelers navigate these new travel requirements, wait times may increase. Travelers should account for the possibility of longer than normal wait times and lines at U.S. land border crossings when planning their trip and are kindly encouraged to exercise patience.

To help reduce wait times and long lines, travelers can take advantage of innovative technology, such as facial biometrics and the CBP OneTM mobile application, which serves as a single portal for individuals to access CBP mobile applications and services.

Q: How is Customs and Border Protection staffing the ports of entry? 

A: CBP’s current staffing levels at ports of entry throughout the United States are commensurate with pre-pandemic levels. CBP has continued to hire and train new employees throughout the pandemic. CBP expects some travelers to be non-compliant with the proof of vaccination requirements, which may at times lead to an increase in border wait times. Although trade and travel facilitation remain a priority, we cannot compromise national security, which is our primary mission. CBP Office of Field Operations will continue to dedicate its finite resources to the processing of arriving traffic with emphasis on trade facilitation to ensure economic recovery.

Q: What happens if a vaccinated individual is traveling with an unvaccinated individual?  

A:  The unvaccinated individual (if 18 or over) would not be eligible for admission.

Q: If I am traveling for an essential reason but am not vaccinated can I still enter?

A:  No, if you are a non-U.S. individual. The policy announced on January 22, 2022 applies to both essential and non-essential travel by non-U.S. individual travelers. Since January 22, DHS has required that all inbound non-U.S. individuals crossing U.S. land or ferry POEs – whether for essential or non-essential reasons – be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and provide related proof of vaccination upon request.

Q: Are sea crew members on vessels required to have a COVID vaccine to disembark?

A:  Sea crew members traveling pursuant to a C-1 or D nonimmigrant visa are not excepted from COVID-19 vaccine requirements at the land border. This is a difference from the international air transportation context.

Entering the U.S. via Air Travel

Q: what are the covid vaccination requirements for air passengers to the united states  .

A:  According to CDC requirements [www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/noncitizens-US-air-travel.html | Link no longer valid], most noncitizens who are visiting the United States temporarily must be fully vaccinated prior to boarding a flight to the United States. These travelers are required to show proof of vaccination. A list of covered individuals is available on the CDC website.  

Q: What are the COVID testing requirements for air passengers to the United States?  

A:  Effective Sunday, June 12 at 12:01 a.m. ET, CDC will no longer require pre-departure COVID-19 testing for U.S.-bound air travelers.

Each day hundreds of tourists and travellers come to visit the hall of the Historical Sao Bento railway station.

The monastery fell victim of a fire in 1783, was later rebuilt, but was in a grave state of disrepair at the end of the 19th century. The most notable aspect of Sao Bento Station is the tile panels in the vestibule. There are some 20 thousand and date from 1905-1916, the work of Jorge Colaço, the most important azulejo painter of the time. The first tiles were put up on 13 August 1905.

This additional clearance was initially scheduled to go into effect in 2021 but has been postponed until some time in 2024.

Africa Travel Restrictions

Most of Africa doesn’t have entry restrictions for vaccinated and unvaccinated visitors. With that said, several countries in northcentral and central Africa require unvaccinated guests to have a negative pre-arrival test. There are no travel restrictions to enter Egypt, Morocco, South Africa or Tanzania. These four countries have some of the most visitors to the continent.

China Travel Restrictions

China has the most restrictive entry requirements in Asia for tourism. The nation reopened its borders in early 2023, but it’s still difficult to visit for non-essential travel. Vaccinated and unvaccinated visitors need a negative pre-arrival test no earlier than 48 hours before arriving. Similar guidelines can apply to visiting Hong Kong and Macau.

Additionally, the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory on June 30, 2023, asking American citizens to reconsider travel as the destination has accusations of arbitrary law enforcement and exit bans.

Asia Travel Restrictions

There are no additional travel restrictions for the greater Asian region. The Philippines

has become the latest nation to no longer require unvaccinated visitors to have a negative pre-arrival test.

Oceania Travel Restrictions

Australia and New Zealand do not have any entry restrictions for tourism and non-essential travel.

Overall, countries across the world continue to ease entry restrictions that have been in place since 2020. Travel volumes can remain high as households take an end-of-summer trip, but the crowds will lighten as school goes back into session.

Air Canada's Checked Baggage Fees & Policies: Everything You Need To Know

Understanding airline baggage policies is essential for travelers to avoid unexpected fees and ensure a smooth journey. Air Canada , like most airlines, has specific rules and fees regarding checked baggage. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into Air Canada's checked baggage policies, including fees, allowances, and important guidelines, to help passengers prepare for their upcoming flights.

Checked baggage allowance and fees

Air Canada's checked baggage allowances differ based on the fare purchased, route, and travel class. According to Upgraded Points , checked bags must weigh no more than 50 lbs (23 kg) per item for economy class, or 70 lbs (32 kg) for business class. Furthermore, the bag must have a linear dimension (length + width + height) of under 62 inches (158 cm).

Checked baggage fees vary depending on factors such as fare type, destination, and frequent flyer status. Typically, passengers flying on economy class tickets are required to pay for checked bags, whereas higher fare classes or elite status may include complimentary baggage allowances. It's crucial for travelers to review their fare conditions and baggage allowance before booking to avoid unexpected charges at the airport.

All passengers in the premium economy, Premium Rouge, and business cabins are entitled to two checked bags each. In economy class, however, the checked baggage allowance depends on the route and fare, as detailed below.

Which Airlines Have The Most Generous Checked Baggage Allowances?

For flights between the US and Europe, Canada and Europe, as well as domestic US flights, one checked bag is allowed per customer, excluding those on Economy Basic fares. For flights between the US and Canada and the US and Mexico, one free checked bag is provided only for Flex and Comfort fares. Outside these fares, a $35 fee is applicable for the first checked bag, and $50 for the second.

Those on Latitude fares can bring along two checked bags, no matter the route. Similarly, Star Alliance Gold members can enjoy one free checked bag, regardless of the fare purchased. From the third bag onwards, passengers can expect to pay between $100 and $225 per item, depending on the route.

To avoid surprises at the airport, you can opt to prepay for baggage online or via the mobile app from 24 hours to 45 minutes (domestic Canada flights) or 60 minutes (all other flights) from the scheduled departure.

Special items and oversized baggage

In addition to standard checked baggage, Air Canada accommodates special items such as oversized baggage and sports and hunting equipment. However, transporting these items may incur additional fees or require advance arrangements. Passengers should familiarize themselves with Air Canada's policies regarding special items to ensure a hassle-free travel experience.

As per Air Canada , bags weighing between 50 lbs (23 kg) and 70 lbs (32 kg) are labeled as “overweight”, while bags measuring 63 inches (160 cm) to 115 inches (292 cm) are “oversized”. A fee of $100 is imposed on bags considered overweight and/or oversized.

When it comes to sports equipment, passengers must register their items at least 24 hours before their scheduled departure by contacting the airline’s reservation desk or their travel agent. Fees vary depending on the type of equipment: for example, a $50 fee per flight is applicable for bicycles, while surfboards, paddleboards, and wave skis will incur a $100 fee.

Like with sports equipment, passengers will need to register their hunting equipment no less than 24 hours before the flight and arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the usual check-in time. Antlers and horns are $150 to check in, while firearms are $50 per segment of the flight. For specific packing requirements for special items, you are advised to refer to the Air Canada website .

Traveling with pets in the baggage compartment

As for the other type of precious cargo – pets – Air Canada accepts dogs and cats in the baggage compartment. For travel within Canada or between Canada and the US, a $105 one-way fee is applicable, while all other itineraries will cost $270.

The animal must be kept in a carrier that is no larger than 115 inches (292 cm) in linear dimensions, with a maximum weight of 100 lbs (45 kg) for both the pet and kennel combined.

Other requirements include:

  • The cat or dog must be at least 10 weeks old and fully weaned.
  • A maximum of two pets (of the same species) can be allowed in the same kennel.
  • The carrier must be hard-sided, secure and leak-proof, and large enough for the pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.

Key takeaways

To avoid inconvenience and unexpected fees, passengers should adhere to Air Canada's baggage policies and guidelines. This includes sticking to weight and size restrictions and planning ahead for special items.

Passengers are also advised to take note of itineraries that include travel with Air Canada’s codeshare partners. In such cases, the baggage policies of the other carrier may apply.

How To Upgrade To On Your Next Air Canada Flight

Understanding Air Canada's checked baggage fees and policies is essential for travelers to plan and budget for their trips effectively. By familiarizing themselves with the airline's guidelines, passengers can avoid surprises at the airport and enjoy a seamless travel experience with Air Canada.
