If you'd like to know what you can bring on board with you and in what size bag, our baggage section will help you pack smart.

You’ll find details on maximum size and weight allowances, as well as information on restrictions and regulations.

Have you got a question about a special or oversized item? We’ve got information on travelling sports or hunting equipment and musical instruments.

Liquids and medication

If you're travelling with very young children, you can bring formula, breast milk, juice and baby food (in small containers) on board.

Always pack medication in your carry-on baggage. All prescription medications must be properly labelled with the names of the patient, the medication, and the issuing medical office or pharmacy.

Because onboard refrigeration may not be available on all aircraft types, the cabin crew is unable to look after items that may need to be kept cold. Please carry any item that you wish to keep cold in a small cooler to maintain it at the desired temperature. If available, extra ice may be provided as needed.

For useful information on types and quantities of liquids and gels permitted on board, view our Reminder to Travellers PDF-Datei öffnen (pdf file, 267 KB), or visit the Canadian Air Transport Security AuthorityWird in neuem Fenster geöffnet (CATSA) website.
