Sunwing Baggage Fees 2024

Sunwing Carry On 2024 - Cabin Bag Size & Weight Limit

Sunwing is converting to a low-cost a-la-carte model for baggage fees, and this includes charging a fee for bringing a carry-on suitcase into the cabin. Sunwing has since made changes to its baggage policies with the latest policies applicable for all flights booked on/after December 5th 2023.

Each fare-paying passenger on Sunwing Airlines (both Vacation and Flight-Only passengers) is permitted one small personal item free of charge, which must be no larger than 23 cm x 28 cm x 13 cm. The personal item must be placed under the seat in front of you (not in the overhead compartments). There is no specified weight limit for your small personal item.

If you wish to bring a regular standard carry-on sized suitcase/roller bag into the cabin, you may do so by paying a $25 carry-on bag fee (each way, so $50 total for a round trip flight). This will allow you to bring a carry-on sized suitcase and place it into the overhead bins. The maximum size of this carry-on suitcase is limited to 51 x 40 x 23 cm. Officially, a maximum weight limit of 5 kg / 11 lbs applies, although this limit is so low it is not strictly enforced.

You may also choose to purchase an Elite Plus seat for $50 each way, which includes priority boarding, priority check-in, a checked baggage allowance of 23 kg, as well as a carry-on suitcase.

Carry-on items may include an overnight bag or backpack. A personal item may be one of the following: purse, messenger bag, laptop bag (holding a laptop and related items) or camera bag (holding photographic equipment only).

Parents/guardians who are travelling with an infant (a child who has not reached his/her 2nd birthday and is over 8 days old) may also bring on board a diaper bag (holding only items for the care of an infant). The diaper bag must comply with the weight and size restrictions as stated above.

Sunwing Checked Baggage Fees 2024 - Checked Bag Weight & Size Limits

Sunwing has updated its luggage allowance and policies for 2024, but fees for standard checked luggage remain unchanged. The following fees and allowances are for both Sunwing Vacation Packages and Flight-Only purchases in 2024.

If flying on Sunwing with a Vacation Package, you are still entitled to 1 free checked bag of 23 kg / 50 lbs. If purchasing only a Sunwing Flight (not part a Sunwing Vacation Package), you will not have any free checked baggage allowance, and will be charged a fee for all checked bags. Sunwing Flight-Only baggage fees are detailed below.

TIP: If purchasing a Sunwing Flight (flight-only, not vacation package), we recommend booking as early as possible and try to snag one of the limited "Elite Plus" exit-row seats for $50 each way - this is the same price as pre-purchasing your 1st checked bag, but includes not only 1x Checked Bag (reg. $50 fee), but also 1x Carry-On suitcase (reg. $25 fee), priority check-in, priority boarding, extra leg-room, and priority security lane, all for the same $50 price tag as paying to check-in just the one regular suitcase.

Additional Info
Be sure to note that these fees apply One-Way, so you will have to pay each fee twice for a round-trip flight.

As the loading of heavy baggage is a safety concern for baggage handlers, the maximum weight of any one piece of your checked baggage cannot exceed 32kg.

Dimensions of checked baggage, (Length+Width+Height), must not exceed 62 inches (158 cm). Any oversized pieces may be rejected at check-in and those who wish to transport such pieces can contact a cargo service provider.
