Ongoing Advisories

We are advising all passengers travelling through Comox Valley Airport (YQQ) to allow extra time for security screening.

Pacific Coastal Airlines recommends passengers to check-in at least 60 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time with appropriate valid government-issued identification. Check-in and checked baggage acceptance closes 40 minutes prior to scheduled departure time and passengers should be present at boarding gate 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure time.

In light of the increasing risk posed by fraudulent travel websites and online booking agents, Pacific Coastal Airlines advises all travellers to take the following precautions before booking flights:

Watch Out For:

  • Websites offering unrealistically low fares
  • Platforms that lack secure payment gateways (look for HTTPS)
  • Booking agents with no verifiable contact information or customer support
  • Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in website content

If you have any questions or concerns, or if you’re unsure about a travel site, please reach out to our Customer Service team:
