More detailed information about WestJet baggage allowance and fees below:
Each guest in a confirmed seat is allowed one free piece of carry-on baggage and one personal item, total. Items which do not fit into the sizing device or exceed our carry-on allowance will be placed in checked baggage and applicable baggage fees may be collected.
- Carry-on baggage: max 10 kg (22 lb) with max measurements of 53 cm x 23 cm x 38 cm (21 in x 9 in x 15 in)
- Personal item: max 10 kg (22 lb) with max measurements of 41 cm x 15 cm x 33 cm (16 in x 6 in x 13 in)
- All carry-on baggage must fit in the sizing device at check-in, and be stored under the seat or in the overhead compartment on-board the aircraft.
- If you are traveling with an infant (under 2 years of age with a purchased seat) or child and you have an approved restraint system (car seat), you may bring one on.
Montego Bay carry-on restriction: only one carry-on item is permitted.
The sum of the length + width + height of the bag should be 157 cm (62 in) or smaller inclusive of handle, pockets and wheels. The maximum weight is 23 kg (50 lb) per piece.
Because suitcases aren’t the only things you want to pack, it’s best to be aware that sporting equipment checked in separately from baggage will count as one piece of checked baggage. Below you’ll find info on bringing everything from surfboards to ski boots to soccer balls.
Sporting equipment overview
WestJet will accept sporting equipment that meets the requirements for air travel for domestic, U.S., international and chartered flights.
The maximum length accepted is 9.8 feet for any sports item.
Sporting equipment is subject to all applicable excess baggage fees unless otherwise stated. Fees are combinable where applicable. For example, if an item is overweight, oversized and a second item, all three fees may apply.
For additional packing instructions, more detail on restrictions or other information related to sporting equipment, please contact WestJet at: 1-888-937-8538 (1-888-WESTJET).
