Children and Infants

Children: For air travel purposes, children are defined as being between the ages of two and eleven years of age, inclusive. We recommend that a child always travel with an adult escort. If you plan to have your child travel without an escort, please review our unaccompanied minors policy.

Infants: For air travel purposes, infants are defined as being under the age of two years. Infants may travel if held securely on an adult’s lap, or have a seat on the plane if purchased, and with an infant seat secured in the appropriate manner. There is no baggage allowance for infants travelling for free, however passengers may check one car seat and one stroller at no additional charge.

Identification: Adults must provide appropriate identification for all infants travelling for free. Acceptable forms of ID include birth certificates, passports, care cards, and status cards. If ID is not present at check-in and an infant’s age is called into question, you will be charged for an additional seat. That charge will be fully refunded upon presentation of accepted ID at a later date.

As per Transport Canada’s safety regulations, the adult to infant ration must be 1:1.

Adults travelling with infants are allowed to take formula, breast milk, juice, and baby food through Preboard Screening.

Medical

Pacific Coastal Airlines participates in the Travel Assistance program.

Eligibility: Any customer who is travelling for medical purposes with a properly completed Travel Assistance Program (TAP) form are eligible for a medical fare.

Prior to making a reservation with us, you must:

  • have your doctor fill out a Travel Assistance Program (TAP) form
  • have your doctor sign the TAP form
  • include an MSP authorization number issued by MSP

Once you have completed the above steps, call our Customer Service Centre toll free at 1.800.663.2872, or in the lower mainland 604.273.8666.

Terms and Conditions: A maximum of one (1) escort is allowed to travel with the authorized passenger at the same medical fare. The escort must travel on the same flights. The original TAP form, not a copy, must be submitted at check-in. No exceptions.

We recognize that, due to last minute or weekend travel, you cannot always get an authorization from MSP (as they are only open during the week). In this case we will accept an official and dated letter from your doctor on letterhead (notes on a prescription pad are not acceptable). The form must clarify where and when you need to travel, dates, and whether an escort (maximum of one) is required. The doctor’s name, signature, and contact information must be clear. The original is required at check-in.
