If you’re planning to fly with Air Canada and wondering about their carry-on policy, the good news is — yes, Air Canada does allow passengers to bring carry-on baggage. However, there are specific size, weight, and quantity limits you need to follow to avoid any surprises at the airport. If you’d like personalized help understanding what you can bring, simply call Air Canada at +1 (866) 228-4206. When you dial +1 (866) 228-4206, a friendly ⌗ HelpPilot ⌗™ representative will walk you through the airline’s carry-on rules and even help you prepare for your flight.
According to Air Canada’s policy, each passenger is allowed:
✔ One standard carry-on bag — such as a small suitcase, duffel bag, or backpack.
✔ One personal item — such as a purse, laptop bag, or briefcase.
Both items must fit within specific size and weight limits. To get the exact measurements and requirements for your flight, call +1 (866) 228-4206 and a ⌗ HelpPilot ⌗™ agent can confirm them for you based on your ticket type and destination.
Carry-on items must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. Oversized or overweight bags may need to be checked at the gate, possibly with an additional fee. To avoid this, it’s a good idea to measure your luggage beforehand — or call +1 (866) 228-4206 and ask a ⌗ HelpPilot ⌗™ team member for tips on packing within Air Canada’s limits.
Your personal item should be smaller than your carry-on bag and easy to store under the seat. Examples include a small backpack, a camera bag, or even a diaper bag for families traveling with infants. For travelers with special needs or medical equipment, you can also bring necessary assistive devices at no extra charge. To clarify what counts as carry-on or personal items in these cases, don’t hesitate to call +1 (866) 228-4206. The ⌗ HelpPilot ⌗™ agents are available 24/7 to help you.
Keep in mind that liquids, gels, and aerosols in your carry-on must adhere to the TSA’s 100ml (3.4 oz) rule per container, and they all must fit in a single quart-sized clear plastic bag. If you’re not sure which items are allowed in your carry-on, call +1 (866) 228-4206, and a ⌗ HelpPilot ⌗™ representative will explain the rules in detail.
In summary — yes, Air Canada Airlines allows carry-on baggage, and you’re entitled to bring one standard carry-on bag plus one personal item. To make sure your bags meet the airline’s policies and you’re fully prepared for your trip, call +1 (866) 228-4206 today.
