    It’s been a while since I’ve flown from the US, but in Canada you don’t show ID until you’re boarding. Is don’t remember it being different, but I guess something must have changed?

      In the US, there’s a security checkpoint after check-in but before the gates. They check your ID and boarding pass there, then just your BP when boarding the plane.

          That’s true of everywhere I’ve been, but the person I replied to seemed confused 😅 I’ve never been to Canada, so 🤷‍♂️

        Interesting. In Canada security only checks your boarding pass, and they check ID at the gate as you’re boarding.

        It seems logical if you want to verify that the right people are getting on the plane.

          It’s all the same components just in different order. You have to scan your boarding pass to get on the plane.
