Air Canada Kayak Fee 2023
An Oversize Baggage Fee ($100-$120) will be charged for your kayak.
Because you will be charged the Oversize fee, an Overweight fee will not be charged.
Your Kayak will count toward your regular baggage allowance, and standard checked baggage fees may apply. Even if they are checked in separately, kayak paddles and one kayak count as one piece of baggage.
Oversize and additional piece charges apply to the kayak, but not to the paddles when they are checked with the kayak.
If your kayak is your 3rd item, oversize/overweight fees should not be charged, but you will have to pay the extra item fee ($100-$225, depending on destination).
When packed separately, all additional pieces of kayaking equipment (e.g. helmet, life vest, dry top, spray skirt) count as one piece of baggage.
If your baggage count (kayaking equipment + number of bags to be checked) exceeds the maximum number of items allowed by your fare type additional checked baggage charges will apply. These fees will be collected at the airport.
Kayak Packing instructions
Kayaks and paddles must be packaged in a rigid and/or hard shell container specifically designed for shipping.
If otherwise packaged, kayaking equipment may be refused for carriage. Air Canada is not liable if and to the extent that any damage results from the inherent defect, quality or vice of the baggage.
