Air Canada is enhancing the experience of Premium travellers with the creation of a new Business Class Check-in area at Toronto Pearson.

The dedicated concourse is now available to customers travelling in Business Class or customers holding select Premium status.

“Air Canada is pleased to offer select Premium customers an enhanced level of care, including expedited check-in and concierge services, delivered in a lounge setting through our new Business Class Check-in at our Toronto Pearson global hub. Competition for Premium traffic is intense and we are responding to the expectations of this market segment for a comfortable and convenient airport experience,” said Benjamin Smith, president, Passenger Airlines at Air Canada.

Air Canada also plans to enhance Priority check-in for customers in Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary. In addition to Business Class Check-in, Air Canada has recently introduced a series of innovations for Premium customers. This includes refurbished Maple Leaf Lounges, a partnership with renowned Canadian chef David Hawksworth to style meals for International Business Class and the Maple Leaf Lounges, enhanced check-in and boarding procedures, new cabin interiors on our wide-body fleet, including next generation lie-flat suites in International Business Class and a designated Premium Economy cabin, and a refined Altitude frequent flyer program.

Business Class Check-in is located in the former Aisle 1 on the departure level at Toronto Pearson.

Toronto Pearson is inviting passengers to “Camp Pearson” to celebrate the great Canadian summer.

Located in Terminal 1, through Aug. 26, Camp Pearson is offering travellers family friendly activities in a space that is reflective of an iconic Canadian summer.

Passengers are invited to “hike” to Camp Pearson and experience a number of activities, including:

• Stop by The Cottage, a rustic space where you can purchase TORONTO 2015 souvenirs.
• Relax in a Muskoka chair by the crackling fire to the sounds of some of Canada’s award-winning musicians in The Campfire Lounge.
• Have some play time at the Kids Zone, where little ones can take part in Canadian-themed activities like the Map of Canada puzzle wall, colouring sheets and more.
• Head over to the I Love Canada Zone and write down a reason why you love Canada on a sticky note and place it on the wall to help build the Canadian flag.
• Test your knowledge of Canada by collecting Camp Pearson trivia cards at various retail locations.
• On Friday evenings, sample some Canadian-inspired menu items from airport chefs.

“We have created a pre-flight experience reflective of the best elements of summer in Canada,” said Scott Collier, vice-president of Customer and Terminal Services at Toronto Pearson. “Celebrating summer at Toronto Pearson means Muskoka chairs, sampling Canadian food, expressing national pride and making new memories.”
