Two free items of carry-on baggage are permitted per fare-paying customer. Please note: guests travelling to Jamaica are permitted only one carry-on item.
All carry-on baggage must fit in the sizing device at check-in, and be stored under the seat or in the overhead compartment onboard the aircraft. What's considered acceptable as carry-on varies in each country. Please ensure you are familiar with which items are permitted as carry-on baggage in the country to which you're travelling.
We strongly encourage you to bring identification, prescription medication, mobile devices, keys and jewelry in your carry-on baggage in the rare event your baggage is delayed or damaged.
As all carry-on baggage must pass through security, make sure your carry-on complies by following the instructions below. Remember, this can include things you might not consider, like shampoo, perfume, toothpaste and moisturizers.
Please visit catsa.gc.ca for items permitted and non-permitted through security, or call 1 800 OCanada for more information. For safety reasons, WestJet restricts certain items onboard our aircraft. Please see our restricted items web page for more information.
