Porter is going to start charging for baggage!
The first piece of luggage will cost $25, the second $35-40 and subsequent checked bags will be $100+. There are added fees if your checked baggage is overweight, this is the fee for checking the baggage only. These fees apply to flights leaving May 14th or later if you booked after April 21st. Previously, Canadians paid $20-23 for the second checked bag so this is a huge increase to the cost of your trip.
