Clear US Customs before you fly

Before departing to a US destination, you must go through US Customs.

After you check in for your direct flight to the US, remain on the Departures level and walk south, passed the Delta and WestJet US check-in counters.

Drop your checked bags on the US bag drop belt and proceed to the south end of the building.

We recommend arriving 3 hours before your departure time to clear Customs and security.
