Checked Baggage - Air Canada
Find all the information you need to prepare your checked baggage in regards to size, weight, number of bags, restrictions and much more.
www.aircanada.comAnswer: Air Canada generally allows checked bags up to 23 kg (50 lb) per piece with a maximum total linear dimension of 158 cm (62 inches), and the number of bags or any higher limits depend on your fare type and route. For the latest specifics, check Air Canada’s official baggage page and your fare rules, as there can be variations by cabin and itinerary.
Key points to confirm:
- Standard checked bag weight limit: 23 kg (50 lb) per bag; some fare classes may permit heavier bags or more pieces.
- Maximum bag size: total linear dimensions up to 158 cm (62 inches).
- Number of checked bags and any excess/overweight fees depend on fare type (Economy, Premium Economy, Business, and Aeroplan status) and the route.
- Special cases: carry-on allowances are separate from checked bags; overweight or oversized pieces incur additional fees.
Illustration (example scenario):
- On a typical domestic Air Canada booking in Economy, you might get one checked bag up to 23 kg; two bags could be allowed on higher fares or international routes, otherwise fees apply per bag.
