Air Canada Adjusts Checked Bag Policy

Air Canada has adjusted its checked baggage policy for domestic Canadian, Caribbean and Mexican travel to align it with prevailing industry practices. Economy Class customers will still be able to check one bag for free in addition to permitted carry-on baggage.

Customers purchasing Economy Class tickets (Tango, Tango Plus and Latitude fares) for travel on or after 19 January 2011 on domestic Canadian, Caribbean, Costa Rican and Mexican flights will now be charged $20 for a second checked bag.

Air Canada's second bag policy for flights to and from the U.S., Europe and other international destinations remains unchanged. The policy allows for a car seat and stroller to be checked as additional pieces of baggage free of charge.

The fee for a second checked bag will not apply to Air Canada Prestige, Elite, Super Elite members or Star Alliance Silver and Gold members. Executive Class and Executive First customers continue to receive an allowance of three checked bags on all flights, regardless of destination.
