As of July 1, 2009, Transport Canada will permit self-serve baggage tagging at all Canadian airports.

Self-serve baggage tagging lets passengers print their own baggage tags at airport kiosks and attach them to their checked bags, rather than waiting for an airline attendant to do it. This option saves passengers time, reduces lineups and helps airlines control costs without compromising security. It also frees up valuable space that would otherwise be required for additional check-in counters.

Some airlines, with the support of local airport authorities, plan to expand the service to Winnipeg, Edmonton, Ottawa and Halifax international airports. Once successfully implemented at these airports, self-serve baggage tagging may be introduced at more airports across Canada.
