Westjet Encore is a Regional Airline owned by Westjet. The standard Westjet baggage fees will apply, but more limited allowances are in place if flying on a Westjet Encore flight.
You can tell a Westjet Encore flight by it's flight number, from 3100 to 3899. This means you will be flying on a Turboprop plane, the Bombarider Q400, and hence have a more limited baggage allowance.
Be sure to visit the Westjet Baggage Fees page for current fee information. Below you will find specific information regarding restrictions for carry-on and checked baggage on flights operated by Westjet Encore.
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.
