Last reviewed October 30, 2026. Cross-checked against: US travel-advice roundup (2025); European cabin-bag guides.
Conditions to know
- The 8 kg weight limit is much lower than most Canadian carriers; weigh a packed bag.
- The personal item is very thin (10 cm). Most backpacks will not qualify.
- 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.
