How much did excess baggage cost?
Excess baggage fees were charged based on weight and destination. Rates varied significantly between regional and transcontinental routes. Contact First Air directly or check your booking confirmation for the applicable rate for your journey.
Were there restrictions on remote route baggage?
Yes. Flights to very remote communities sometimes had stricter baggage limits due to aircraft capacity and operational constraints. Always confirm limits for regional services when booking.
Could I bring sports equipment or musical instruments?
Special items like skis, golf clubs, and instruments could typically be transported but required advance notice and may have incurred additional fees. Contact First Air before traveling with oversized or unusual baggage.
