Air Transat baggage allowance
CanadaMoney-saving tip: Review your fare type before packing. Basic leisure fares may include limited baggage; purchasing additional baggage allowance in advance during booking is typically cheaper than paying baggage fees at the airport or check-in counter.
Air Transat's baggage policy varies by fare type and route. Most leisure fares include carry-on baggage and a personal item; checked baggage allowances and excess baggage fees depend on your specific ticket class. International flights generally permit more baggage than domestic routes. Specific weight limits, dimensions, and inclusion policies vary-consult the official baggage policy on www.airtransat.com or contact the airline for exact allowances tied to your booking.
| Item | Limit | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Carry-on baggage | Varies by fare type | Most fares |
| Personal item (small bag/backpack) | Varies by fare type | Most fares |
| Checked baggage | Depends on fare and route | Check your fare details |
| Excess/overweight baggage | Additional fees apply | Not included |
What if my baggage is overweight or oversized?
Excess baggage fees apply for items exceeding your included allowance in weight or dimensions. Fees vary by route and severity of excess. Pre-purchasing additional baggage at booking is more economical than paying fees at the airport.
Are sports equipment and musical instruments included in baggage allowance?
Sports equipment and musical instruments may have special handling requirements and fees. Contact Air Transat in advance to declare such items; some may be carried free under specific conditions, while others incur additional charges.
Can I bring a pet in my baggage allowance?
Pets are not baggage and require separate arrangements. Air Transat permits pets in cabin or cargo depending on size and destination. Contact the airline directly to reserve pet transport and learn associated fees and health documentation required.
