† Final baggage allowance and service fees ultimately charged may differ from those displayed on our calculator as they are based on the date of ticketing, the direction of travel, the country edition on which the ticket is purchased, and other factors. Your final baggage allowance is displayed before purchase, in the fare rules available on the trip review page, as well as on your itinerary-receipt after you have completed your booking. The baggage allowance displayed on our calculator applies exclusively to Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights, as well as to Air Canada Express flights operated by Jazz and PAL Airlines. When an itinerary includes travel with one of our codeshare partners or with another airline, the baggage policies of the other carrier may apply. Fees shown are in Canadian dollars. The fee in other currencies may differ. Customers may be reassessed checked baggage fees when itineraries include an enroute stopover lasting more than 24 hours.
