Mobility and Wheelchair Assistance

Allergies

  • Rise Air does permit domestic household pets to be transported on our aircraft. Although we do our best to minimize allergens by keeping animals contained throughout the flight, our aircraft is a public space and cannot guarantee it is an allergen free environment.
  • Please call our Reservations line at 1-800-667-9356 when you confirm your reservation. We will make every reasonable effort to arrange a seat as far from the animal as possible.
  • Rise Air does not serve any nut products in their inflight service. However, despite our best efforts, other passengers may bring aboard food items that contain nut products or residue.

Traveling with Infants

  • Seat selection is not required for infants who are held on a lap of an adult.
  • An infant must be held during taxi, take-off, and landing and whenever the seat belt sign is on.
  • Lap held infants must be held facing the adult’s chest or secured in an approved car seat for the duration of the flight.
  • Transport Canada mandates that infants are not permitted in the emergency exit row and that no person shall be responsible for more than one infant (any child under two years of age) on board.
  • Two lap held infants will not be seated in the same row due to the number of oxygen masks in each row.

Travelling with Children Aged Two and Older

  • Rise Air requires that a full fare be purchased for children over 2 years of age to have a purchased seat and they must be accompanied by an adult older than 16 years of age.

  • We will attempt to assign seats:
    • Next to their parent or guardian for children aged 5 and under.
    • In the same row as their parent or guardian for children aged 6 to 11.

  • In instances where the departure date is prior to the 36th week of pregnancy but the return flight is after the 36th week, a medical certificate as described above is required for the return flight.
