Air Canada Baggage Information Guide
Find all the information you need to prepare your checked or carry-on baggage in regards to size, weight, number of bags, restrictions and much more.
www.aircanada.comHere’s the latest on Air Canada checked baggage size.
- Max dimensions for a single checked bag: 158 cm (62 in) total linear dimensions. This is the overall limit for most routes and fare types.[6][7]
- Weight per checked bag: 23 kg (50 lb) is the typical limit, with some fare classes offering variations. Always verify your specific ticket, as allowances can differ by route and fare.[1][6]
- Number of checked bags: Varies by fare and destination. Many economy fare types include one or two checked bags, while some basic economy options may include none, depending on route. Check your booking or airline page for your exact entitlement.[7][1]
- Carry-on policy is separate from checked bags, with a standard carry-on size of 55 x 40 x 23 cm and an additional personal item (33 x 43 x 16 cm). Although your focus is checked baggage, knowing the carry-on limits helps avoid accidental overages at the gate.[1][7]
Practical tips
- Always double-check your route and fare type on Air Canada's official baggage page or your booking summary, as allowances vary by destination (domestic vs international) and class.[7]
- If you expect to exceed the standard limits, consider pre-purchasing extra baggage online to save on at-airport fees, and be mindful of overweight or oversized charges for bags above 23 kg or 158 cm.[3][1]
Illustration (example)
- A single 23 kg bag with 158 cm total size is within limits for many international routes. If you have two bags, ensure each stays under 23 kg and 158 cm; otherwise, overweight/oversize fees may apply.[6][1]
