Your flight may not be operated by Air Transat. Should this be the case (CanJet flight or other), please read this Important notice.
Fragile or perishable articles, including medication or medical devices, money, jewellery, silverware, electronics, laptop computers, personal audio/video devices, negotiable documents, securities, samples of business documents or other valuables must be placed in carry on baggage, as these items will not be accepted as checked baggage.
Lighters (1 per person) must be carried in a clear, closed, re-sealable plastic bag in order to pass security. (Due to their liquid content, lighters are subject to the restrictions for liquids, gels and aerosols). As a safety measure, lighters must never be packed in checked baggage. Matches (1 book per person) can be carried only on your person. Electronic cigarettes are allowed but must remain stowed unused in your carry-on baggage.
1 diaper bag is allowed free of charge for a passenger travelling with an infant.
Passengers may carry Epi-Pens or hypodermic needles only for personal medical use. The needle guard must be in place and the needle must come with the medication in its original labelled container or with a signed doctor's certificate.
Air Transat Checked Baggage Fees 2023 - Checked Bag Weight & Size Limits
The Air Transat Free Checked Baggage Allowance is dependent on your destination. Please note that Air Transat's baggage fees have increased.
If planning ahead, you can save up to 25% on Air Transat baggage fees by pre-purchasing your luggage allowance at least 24 hours before departure. This amount is seen as the lower end of the baggage fee rates shown below. If paying for your baggage within 24 hours of your flight (whether online or at the airport), the higher of the fees will apply.
Air Transat has simplified its baggage fees for 2023.
