Musical Instruments

Air Canada will try to accommodate smaller musical instruments (such as violins) as part of a passenger's carry-on baggage allowance only if the instruments can be stowed in an approved area for cabin baggage (i.e. overhead bin, underneath passenger seat).

Customers are reminded to arrive prepared to check the item, as it is never guaranteed that it can be accommodated on board due to passenger loads, aircraft limitations and/or storage space available.

Larger musical instruments (i.e. guitars, tubas, double basses) must be checked, or a seat may be purchased for these instruments. Contact Air Canada Call Center for more information on purchasing an additional seat.
