Porter's "Basic Fare" customers are limited to a single personal item (max size 43x16x33cm, 9kg/20lbs). [AMZ asins='B00LB7REFK,B082K8ZNQ1,B07ZWLQF9T,B00NW62PCA']
All other Porter passengers (Standard, Flexible, Freedom fares) are allowed TWO items of carry-on baggage, free of charge, per fare-paying passenger.
Carry-on baggage is limited to two pieces, as follows:
1 standard article not exceeding 55 cm x 23 cm x 40 cm (21.5 in x 9 in x 15.5 in) and weighing less than 9 kg (20 lbs)
1 personal article not exceeding 43 cm x 16 cm x 33 cm (17 in x 6 in x 13 in) and weighing less than 9 kg (20 lbs)
All carry-on baggage must fit in the sizing device at check-in, and must be stored under the seat or in the overhead compartment onboard the aircraft. If your carry-on is overweight or oversized, it will be checked at the gate for a fee - it will incur the "at the gate" checked baggage fee starting from $42.50 up to $138, depending on the total number of checked bags you are flying with.
Porter will honour the allowances of the airline that makes up the longest portion of your journey. Please verify our Airline Partner's allowances as they may differ from Porter's.
Items that are not permitted in carry-on baggage aboard the aircraft are those that present a potential hazard. They include, but are not limited to, weapons and toys resembling weapons, tools, restraining devices, cutting and puncturing devices (knives, box cutters, scissors, straight razors), and other hazardous items as defined and regulated by law, including explosives, poisons, and other toxic materials.
All carry-on baggage must fit in the sizing units located both at check-in and the gate areas.
On board the aircraft, all carry-on baggage must be stowed under the seat or in the overhead compartments.
The following items are not counted as carry-on:
Coats,
Cameras,
Receptacles containing human remains,
Containers carrying life sustaining items,
Strollers,
Child restraint systems,
Crutches,
Canes,
Walkers and other such items. Further information regarding child restraint systems can be found here.
The maximum number of pets permitted on any flight is two. Carriage of pets is subject to availability. Further information on the pet policy can be found here.
Porter may require that an item of carry-on baggage travel as checked luggage if the bag cannot be safely stowed in the cabin.
Porter Airlines Checked Baggage Fees 2023 - Checked Bag Weight & Size Limits
Porter Airlines has recently upped its baggage fees, with higher fees being charged if paid at the airport, so it is best to plan ahead and pre-purchase your checked baggage allowance online. Please see the Porter Airlines baggage fees chart below.
In 2023, Porter Airlines offers 4 fare classes in it's standard economy option, what they call "PorterClassic", including Basic, Standard, Flexible, and Freedom. Only the PorterClassic Freedom class includes 2 free checked bags.
Porter Airlines also offers an elevated "PorterReserve" premium option, with both fare classes, Navigate and Ultimate, including 2 free checked bags.
Porter baggage fees depend on when you pay for your bags (online vs. at the airport vs. at the gate). The baggage fees vary depending on the fare class (Basic, Standard, Flexible) you are flying in. Be sure to check what Porter "Bundles" are available for your flight, such as the Starter Pak or Plus Pak bundles that include a 1st or 2nd checked bag, along with other services such as seat selections, sometimes for less than paying for a checked bag individually.
Be sure to note that if your carry-on luggage is oversize and must be checked in, you will be charged the "at the gate" fee, which depends on how many bags you have already checked in, and substantially more expensive than prepaying for a piece of checked luggage before your flight..
