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. [AMZ asins='B00LB7REFK,B082K8ZNQ1,B07ZWLQF9T,B00NW62PCA']
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.

NEW FEES FOR CHECKED LUGGAGE - MAY 29 2025
As of May 29th 2025, Sunwing Vacation Packages will be operated by Westjet. New Checked Luggage rules will apply, with no free checked luggage included for Sunwing Vacation Packages. This means that you will have to pay for ALL checked luggage on your Sunwing Vacation Package flight.
New Fees in Effect May 29th 2025
1st Checked Bag - $35 + tax (online), or $55 + tax (at the airport)
2nd Checked Bag - $55 + tax (online), or $75 + tax (at the airport)
The only exception to this is when booking your vacation package about 3 months in advance (the official text reads "by the first of the month, for travel at least two months following the booking deadline"), in which case there is an "Early Booking Incentive" of the first checked bag being accepted free of charge.
