🏍️ Reserving Your Motorcycle Shipping Space

Once our seasonal rates and route information are released, you’ll be able to review your options and reserve pallet space for your motorcycle shipment.

​

Reserving pallet space isn’t only about locking in an exact flight — it’s about getting on our priority radar. This ensures your shipment is in the queue early and we don’t miss any deadlines for the best flight options and rates.

When Should You Reserve?

That’s entirely up to you — but keep in mind that cargo space fills quickly once the season opens. The sooner you let us know your plans, the sooner we can act to secure your space as soon as the carrier allows booking.

Each airline has its own timeline for when we can confirm final space on a flight and assign a confirmation number to your motorcycle shipment:

• ✈️ Air Transat: approximately 45 days in advance

• ✈️ WestJet: approximately 30 days in advance

• ✈️ Air Canada: approximately 10–14 days in advance

Reserving early gives us flexibility to work within those timelines and helps you avoid disappointment later in the season.

📋 Shipping Requirements

The shipping process is simple and straightforward, especially when you know what to expect.

For a quick overview, visit Understanding Your Responsibilities — it outlines the essential steps from preparation to hand-off.

We also encourage you to review our Terms and Conditions for detailed information about responsibilities, documentation, and airline policies.

🧳 Booking Your Passenger Flight

A common question riders ask is:

“Should I book my passenger ticket first or wait until my shipment is confirmed?”

The honest answer — it’s flexible.

If, for example, you plan to fly out on June 10, and you’ve already booked your passenger ticket, the worst-case scenario is simply that your motorcycle might need to travel on the closest available flight if cargo space on your exact flight isn’t available.

If that happens, the airline communicates with us, and we’ll immediately inform you and confirm any adjustment before proceeding.

Our best advice? Keep a rider’s mindset — plan ahead, but stay flexible. With that approach, we’ll make sure both you and your motorcycle arrive safely and on time for your next adventure.
