Conditions to know

  • The personal item is noticeably thinner (13 cm) than at the larger Canadian carriers; slim bags only.
  • Allowances vary by fare and destination. Check the airline’s weight and dimensions page before packing.
  • Most airlines measure the whole bag including wheels, handles and pockets, so use packed dimensions.

Check before you fly

Use the allowance shown in your booking as the final word, especially for basic or promotional fares. Recheck the packed bag, including wheels, handles and full pockets.
