Westjet allows a maximum of one bicycle and one helmet per guest, for a flat Bicycle Handling Fee of $50 CAD/USD. This is in addition to the standard "Checked Bag / Additional Item" fee, if applicable. In case you are bringing your bike in place of a suitcase within your free checked luggage allowance, you will not have to pay a standard checked baggage fee, but the $50 Handling Fee will still apply.
You may check your bicycle and container with a maximum:
weight of 45 kg (100 lb.) without paying an excess weight fee
dimension of 292 cm (115 in.) without paying an oversize baggage fee

A bicycle (including the container) exceeding the maximum dimension of 292 cm (115 in.) is subject to oversize baggage fees. If it is larger than a length of 3 m (118 in.) it will not be accepted.
Bikes exceeding 45 kg (100 lbs) must be sent by cargo, and will not be accepted as checked baggage.
WestJet may refuse carriage of improperly packaged bicycles. Before flying with your bike, please:
Remove pedals.
Partially deflate your tires.
Fix handlebars sideways.
Pack the bicycle in a box or bag to protect your bike and prevent leakage from bicycles containing hydraulic fluid.
