1-888-595-2181 How Strict Is Air Canada with Carry-on Bags?

Description

Whenever you are flying, what you can carry on the plane is as important as your ticket. One of Canada's most popular airlines, Air Canada, has specific guidelines on what Air Canada carry-on baggage allowance is and what is not. If you are curious about how strict the airline is when it comes to checking bags, this guide has all the information you need on its rules, restrictions and the inspection process. To know more, you can reach out to Air Canada at +1-888-247-2262 or simply call us Holidayglobes at +1-888-595-2181.

 

What is Air Canada’s Carry-on Baggage Policy?

 

Air Canada permits a single standard Air Canada carryon baggage and one personal item per passenger to be carried onboard.The airline has a strict and understandable system that ensures safety and convenience to everyone. Any bag should be able to fit in the overhead cabin or under your front seat based on its size.

 

To assist travelers in remaining compliant to the policy, Air Canada offers baggage sizes at the airport to see if your bag is within the specified dimensions prior to boarding. If your bag is oversized then you will be required to check it in and regular checked baggage charges will apply.

 

What Is the Allowed Size for Air Canada Carry-On Bags?

 

One of the key components of the Air Canada carry on size policy is the measurement restrictions. Your carry-on baggage should not be larger than the following dimensions:

·       Standard article (carry-on bag): 55 cm x 23 cm x 40 cm (21.5 in x 9 in x 15.5 in).

·       Personal article: 33 cm x 16 cm x 43 cm (13 in x 6 in x 17 in.

Both sizes come with handles and wheels so the traveler needs to take accurate measurements before reaching the airport.

 

What Can You Bring as a Personal Item in Air Canada?

 

Aside from your primary carry-on baggage, travelers can also bring a small personal item with them. A handbag, laptop bag, briefcase or small backpack are good examples. The personal item should fit entirely under the seat in front of you so that you can easily access it and also not block paths.

Other items of personal nature such as duty-free items, small musical instruments or infant care kits can also be acceptable but they too have to conform to size and safety guidelines.

 

How Strict Is Air Canada at the Airport?

 

Air Canada's carry-on policy is fairly strict. Gate personnel and check in agents closely inspect bag size particularly on full flights or smaller planes. If your bag does not fit into the size checker, you will need to gate check it. The airline policy is not intended to be unpleasant but rather to ensure comfort and safety to all travelers. There is only limited space in overhead bins and extra bags will delay boarding or make boarding annoying on the flight.

 

To prevent any trouble, it is advisable that passengers test and measure their carry on prior to arriving at the airport.

Special Considerations for Certain Items

Certain items are exempt under the Air Canada baggage allowance. For instance:

·       Wheelchairs and walking sticks are accepted apart from your usual carry on.

·       Diaper bags for babies are permitted free of charge.

·       Musical instruments are permissible if they are within the size limits and can be safely stored onboard.

 

If the object fails to fit the standard cabin baggage criteria, you can still carry it with you by paying for an additional seat or placing it among your other luggage.

 

Conclusion

 

So, whenever it is a matter of concern on Carry-on baggage of Air Canada then the answer is simple, it is reasonably strict but understandable. As long as passengers adhere to the established size and weight restrictions, there is a minimum chance of any issues. Air Canada's staff strictly applies these boundaries in order to provide enough room for all passengers to bring their stuff and to keep the boarding process smooth and efficient.
