On Westjet Encore flights, there is less space available for carry-on baggage. You may be asked to check carry-on items even if they fit in the carry-on sizing device before you board the aircraft.
If your carry-on items contain essential items such as medication, laptops, keys or fragile objects, please ensure these valuables travel with you in the cabin as carry-on items that are checked prior to boarding will not be available until after the aircraft has arrived and taxied to the terminal.

All standard Westjet Carry-On baggage rules still apply.
The Westjet Encore Q400 Turboprops are much smaller planes than regular Westjet planes. As such, all passengers are limited to a maximum of 3 checked bags, as opposed to 4 on regular Westjet flights.
You will NOT be allowed a 4th checked bag if flying or connecting on Westjet Encore flight.
All regular Westjet Checked Baggage Fees and size/weight limits still apply, including charges for your 1st and 2nd bag.
Additional size limits may apply for Westjet Encore baggage, including for flying with large sports equipment such as surfboards, windsurfing boards, or kayaks/canoes. Be sure to contact Westjet at 1-888-937-8538 (1-888-WESTJET) for more information.
