The following changes to the Sports Equipment Registration (SPEQ) policy will be effective April 16th, 2009. Details have been included in the "Airports Headquarters (HDQ) News" in ACpedia and an article will be included in this week's Airports Chronicle.
 
Effective April 16, 2009 fees for the following items (regardless of whether the item was pre-registered in advance or not) will be waived.
This policy is being revised to improve the experience for the customers who book via the following websites: Aeroplan, ACV and aircanada.com for Flight Pass.
These websites do not offer the customer the ability to pre-register and therefore when they arrive at the airport for check-in, they are subject to paying fees.
• hockey bags (containing hockey equipment) - Oversize charge waived
• hockey sticks (max 2 taped together) - Oversize charge waived
• skis and snowboard - Oversize charge waived
• ski and snow boots (when items are carried along with skis or snowboard) - Additional piece charge waived
