Codeshare Flights
Passengers who purchase travel on a codeshare flight or a flight with another airline may be subject to the baggage policy and other rules of the airline operating the first flight in their itinerary..
If your itinerary includes a connection to/from a flight not operated by Air Canada, the baggage policy of the carrier operating the first flight in your itinerary may apply to all flights until you reach your destination. For example:
- Travel between Toronto and Auckland via Los Angeles:
Toronto – Los Angeles operated by Air Canada
Los Angeles – Auckland operated by Air New Zealand
The baggage rules of Air Canada apply. - Travel between Chicago and Milan via Toronto and Frankfurt:
Chicago – Toronto operated by United
Toronto – Frankfurt operated by Air Canada
Frankfurt – Milan operated by Lufthansa
The baggage rules of United apply.
Please note that if your baggage cannot be through-checked (i.e. if you must claim your baggage and recheck it with another airline for your onward connection), your baggage allowance may be subject to the rules of the airlines with which you check your baggage.
For the specific terms and conditions of any Air Canada codeshare partner or other airline sold on aircanada.com, visit the operating carrier's website directly
Important Information
Passengers whose travel involves connecting flights on other carriers should enquire at the airport check-in counter whether they may check their bags to their final destination, or whether they must claim their luggage at the connection point and check it in again when connecting to another flight.
Passengers who have opted out of their checked baggage allowance are not entitled to check any bags for free. Customers who wish to opt back in to check baggage will be charged $50 per passenger, per direction.
Special Tips
- The following items must always be placed in your carry-on baggage:
- laptop computers*,
- car and house keys,
- medication,
- cash,
- high value items such as cameras, jewellery and electronic devices.
- View a detailed list of dangerous goods that are either strictly regulated or forbidden as carry-on or checked baggage. Valuable information can also be found on the CATSA website.
- Do not wrap bungee cords, ties or straps around baggage.
- Remove all old airline tags from your luggage.
- Attach identification tags to the inside and outside of the bag, noting your destination as well as home address and relevant contact information.
* On smaller aircraft (e.g. Jazz Dash-8 or CRJ) with limited onboard storage space, customers are asked to deposit their carry-on items on a cart as they board the plane. Laptop computers must be removed from any carry-on baggage that is deposited on such carts.
