    Down at the Ol’ Phishing Hole, huh?

    That’s a terrible idea.

    You say have the latest version of the app…I do, it’s 5.30. I do not have a ‘personal data’ option from the menu. You’re using version 5.29.400 as seen in your screen shots. Bottom line – this won’t work for me.

    Also, like others have said, I’m not quite sold on the privacy, although there are a zillion times AC and others could grab my facial image secretly if they wanted to.

    I will never submit to such an invasion of privacy, its all leading to the one world order of the beast. no thanks. keep your overpriced flights and all you horse shit about digital ID. I’m not a farm animal.

    The last thing I want to give Air Canada is my face. No thanks. Government is one thing but private corporations no. Air Canada IT is not to be trusted. People who sign up for this are idiots.

    Anyone who opts for this immediately forefeits their right to cry to me when their identity gets stolen in ways that are a lot harder to fix than credit card fraud.

    They’re selling you a whole new world of problems under the guise of “convenience” and you should know better by now!

    The Personal Data option isn’t available on the menu of my app. I checked it was up to date and even enabled beta, but still not available.

      Same for me. I just ‘updated’ my AC app and this BETA menu item is still not there.

    We’ve seen this play out before. Optional today, mandatory tomorrow.

    I gave it a try on this past Saturday after connecting through Toronto from United flight and couldn’t seem to get it to work. Had some issues with pulling up the NFC chip on my passport unless the phone was held at a specific angle. Would make it a lot easier than pulling out your boarding pass everytime to scan in.
