Air Transat Carry On 2023 - Cabin Bag Size & Weight Limit

Air Transat allows one free carry-on bag for all economy passengers - there is no specified weight limit, just that you must be able to place it into the overhead bin yourself.

Carry-on Baggage size is restricted to 23 x 40 x 51 cm.

You may also bring a smaller personal item that must go under the seat in front of you - max 12.7 x 30.5 x 43.2 cm (5 x 12 x 17 in).

Your flight may not be operated by Air Transat. Should this be the case (CanJet flight or other), please read this Important notice.

Fragile or perishable articles, including medication or medical devices, money, jewellery, silverware, electronics, laptop computers, personal audio/video devices, negotiable documents, securities, samples of business documents or other valuables must be placed in carry on baggage, as these items will not be accepted as checked baggage.

Lighters (1 per person) must be carried in a clear, closed, re-sealable plastic bag in order to pass security. (Due to their liquid content, lighters are subject to the restrictions for liquids, gels and aerosols). As a safety measure, lighters must never be packed in checked baggage. Matches (1 book per person) can be carried only on your person. Electronic cigarettes are allowed but must remain stowed unused in your carry-on baggage.

1 diaper bag is allowed free of charge for a passenger travelling with an infant.

Passengers may carry Epi-Pens or hypodermic needles only for personal medical use. The needle guard must be in place and the needle must come with the medication in its original labelled container or with a signed doctor's certificate.

Air Transat Checked Baggage Fees 2023 - Checked Bag Weight & Size Limits




The Air Transat Free Checked Baggage Allowance is dependent on your destination. Please note that Air Transat's baggage fees have increased.

If planning ahead, you can save up to 25% on Air Transat baggage fees by pre-purchasing your luggage allowance at least 24 hours before departure. This amount is seen as the lower end of the baggage fee rates shown below. If paying for your baggage within 24 hours of your flight (whether online or at the airport), the higher of the fees will apply.

Air Transat has simplified its baggage fees for 2023.

Air Transat Overweight Baggage Fee 2023 - Extra Bag Fee - Oversize Baggage

Air Transat has increased it's overweight, oversize, and excess baggage fees for 2023, with a simplified structure with the same fees for all flights.

Air Transat Excess Baggage Fee 2023
All excess bags (3rd bag or more) will now cost $225 each.

Air Transat Overweight Baggage Fee 2023
If your bag weight exceeds the limit of 23kg (50 lbs), you will now be charged a $100 Overweight Baggage Fee. No bag may weigh more than 32 kg (70 lbs), otherwise it must fly as cargo.

Air Transat Oversize Baggage Fee 2023
If your bag is larger than 158 linear cm (Length + Width + Height), up to a maximum of 292 cm total, a $100 Oversized Baggage Fee will be charged. Bags larger than 292cm (L+W+H) will not be accepted.

In case that a bag is both oversize and overweight, both fees will apply.

Note: the $100 fee will be charged as $100 USD / $100 CAD / 80 EUR / 65 GBP, depending on the point of origin of the flight.

Sporting Equipment
In 2023, Air Transat no longer offers a free additional sporting equipment allowance, and you will have to pay to transport your sports equipment. You MUST pre-register your sports equipment ahead of time (at least 72 hours / 3 days before your departure) to ensure there is enough space on the aircraft, otherwise it may not be accepted for transport.

Please note that new sports equipment fees have been recently implemented.

For passengers who booked a package, charges may apply for the land transfer of sporting equipment to hotels at some destinations.

Infants travelling on an adult's lap do not have a baggage allowance; however, 1 stroller and 1 car seat per child/infant is accepted free of charge. No substitutions permitted. Additional items (such as a playpen, booster seat, additional car seat, etc.) exceeding your free checked baggage allowance (weight, size and/or number of pieces permitted) will be subject to excess baggage charges.
