Does Aeroplan 25K get priority check in?

Perks of Aeroplan 25K elite status Priority seat selection at the front of economy cabins. 50% discount on extra-legroom seats on Flex fares. Priority airport check-in. Priority airport standby on different flights.



Yes, Aeroplan 25K Elite Status members are entitled to Priority Airport Check-In as one of their core travel benefits in 2026. When flying with Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, or Air Canada Express, you can use the dedicated priority check-in lanes typically reserved for Business Class and higher-tier elite members, which significantly reduces your wait time at the terminal. Additionally, this benefit often extends to flights operated by Star Alliance partners, though specific lane access can vary by airport. Beyond check-in, 25K members also enjoy Priority Boarding (Zone 2) and a generous baggage allowance, including two complimentary checked bags. It is important to note that while 25K is the entry-level elite tier, these "at-the-airport" perks are designed to provide a more seamless and "premium" experience from the moment you arrive at the departures hall.
