Practical Information

As a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you can travel freely on any domestic flight in Canada as long as you hold at least one piece of valid government-issued photo ID. This can be a passport, drivers' license, or any other government-issued identification card with your photo. If you don't have photo ID, you'll need two pieces of government ID that include your name, date of birth, and gender.

Plan on arriving at least 90 minutes before your domestic flight to give yourself enough time to check in, move through security, and find your gate.

If history is your thing, you'll be pleased to know that Hamilton has a rich military history and many museums, including the Hamilton Military Museum and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.
