Additional Checked Baggage
When you travel on an Air Canada or Jazz operated flight, your complimentary checked baggage allowance is determined by your fare, destination, date of travel and frequent flyer status. If your baggage exceeds this free allowance (in number, size, and/or weight), additional checked baggage charges will apply.
