WestJet Checked Baggage Allowance

WestJet offers a checked baggage allowance that is tiered following the different fare types. Clients holding an UltraBasic tariff are charged additional baggage costs, up to a maximum of $75-89 CAD on the first checked bag, although no fee is charged for the first checked bag if you have paid for an Econo tariff. Baggage fees for additional checked bags are levied on each bag beyond the free-on-checked items, and special baggage including oversized or overweight bags may be priced higher.

The maximum weight allowance on checked luggage is 32 kg (70 lb) for international flights and 45 kg (100 lb) for all domestic flights. More charges could apply if overweight luggage. For any checked bag, the longest dimension should not exceed 158 cm (62 in.), measured by length width, and height.

WestJet Sporting Equipment and Musical Instruments

WestJet permits sporting equipment to be brought along as checked baggage but only subject to a few conditions. Travelers must ensure that their sports equipment is packed in such a way that it remains safe during the passage. No sporting equipment can measure more than a maximum length of 3 m (118 in.). If the equipment weighs or measures over the limit, extra charges apply. Further, there is a particular handling charge of $50 CAD if the item is a firearm or other sports equipment.

Other sporting equipment that is accepted includes skis, snowboards, golf clubs, bicycles, and surfboards. There are specific guidelines about how one can pack and which fees are applied on sports equipment, which the passengers should check ahead of time.

Musical Instruments

In fact, you can bring musical instruments onboard as a carry-on if they are within the size limits for carry-on baggage. If your instrument does not fit in the overhead compartment of the airplane or under a seat it is recommended to check it into the aircraft in a hard-sided case to shield it from damage that occurs during travel.

These effects may be minimal if the passengers loosen the strings of their stringed instruments before flight. Cabin crew members may, depending upon available space in the cabin, permit the carrying onboard of more spacious instruments, again dependent upon crew discretion and cabin space availability.
