Flying with a Wedding Dress on Sunwing

Wedding Dresses as Carry On with Sunwing Airlines


Sunwing Airlines is a popular choice for destination weddings, and they make it easy to bring your wedding dress hassle-free.  Sunwing has a dedicated compartment on-board the plane for wedding attire, so you can bring your wedding dress worry-free.

Simply pack your wedding dress in a travel-appropriate garment bag, and you can bring it with you into the cabin free of charge.   Sunwing's Wedding Couple Attire Care Program means you can bring the bride and groom's wedding attire into the cabin, where they have a dedicated space to store your wedding dress - you will also be allowed to board the plane early so you can stow your dress carefully without any pressure.

It is recommended to bring all of your wedding essentials with you in your carry-on, including your dress, shoes, jewellery, and paperwork, so as not to risk your bag being misplaced and not arriving in time for your wedding.

To reserve space on board the aircraft for your wedding dress before your flight, please call Sunwing directly at 1-877-786-9464. 

Bringing a Steamer on Sunwing Airlines


Your dress is likely to be a little bit wrinkled after traveling in the overhead compartment - it is recommended to bring a hand-held travel steamer with you to get out the wrinles once you arrive at your destination.

You can bring a garment steamer on Sunwing Airlines either in your carry-on bag, as long as there is no liquid inside so you can bring it through security, or in your checked luggage.

Flying with a Bridesmaid Dress on Sunwing Airlines


Travelling as a bridesmaid, it is best to bring your bridesmaid dress with you as your carry-on item.  Don't place your dress into your regular suitcase, just in case it gets misplaced and doesn't arrive in time for the wedding. You can bring your bridesmaid dress as a carry-on item on Sunwing Airlines by packing it into a travel-ready garment bag, and either folding/rolling it gently and placing it into the overhead locker, or waiting until all of the suitcases have been placed into the overhead bin, and laying your dress flat on top of the carry bags.

Wedding Photographer Carry-On Allowance on Sunwing Airlines


Your wedding photographer will receive an extra 10kg carry-on allowance to bring their photography equipment on-board the aircraft to shoot your wedding.  Please confirm with Sunwing directly ahead of time to reserve their extra cabin bag allowance for your photographer.
