Air Canada is revising its checked baggage policy for customers travelling with an Economy Class ticket issued after September 17, 2014 for travel on or after November 2, 2014 as indicated below.
It is more important than ever to pack light! This is in response to the WestJet charge (I hate that we have not enough competition in this space).
I knew they would match WestJet (but I didn’t think it would happen so quickly).
