Air Canada Checked Baggage Fees & Limits
Checked baggage on Air Canada depends on your fare brand, your route and your Aeroplan status. Basic and Standard economy fares on most routes carry a fee for the first checked bag; Flex and above typically include one.
| Cabin / fare | Bags included | Max weight | Max linear size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy — Basic / Standard | None — paid | 23 kg | 158 cm |
| Economy — Flex / Comfort | 1 | 23 kg | 158 cm |
| Premium Economy | 2 | 23 kg | 158 cm |
| Business / Signature Class | 2 | 32 kg | 158 cm |
How fees work
Bag fees are charged per direction and are cheaper when prepaid online than at the airport counter. Aeroplan Elite status and several Aeroplan co-branded credit cards waive the first-bag fee for the cardholder and companions on the same booking.
Overweight bags
Bags from 23 kg to 32 kg incur an overweight fee. Above 32 kg, the bag is refused as checked baggage and must ship as cargo.
Oversize bags
Bags over 158 cm (62 in) in total length + width + height incur an oversize fee, up to a maximum of 292 cm.
