Air Canada Baggage Allowance
Send Your Luggage
If you are moving abroad, or going abroad to study, you will need to bring a lot of your belongings with you. Air Canada' baggage allowance is unlikely to be sufficient to allow you to bring everything you need. Plus, it would be a struggle for you to pull all that luggage behind you. This is why sending your luggage with Send My Bag is the perfect solution. Many people also use the service when going on holiday/ vacation so they can enjoy a luggage-free journey.

Passengers are permitted to also carry additional items, such as a diaper bag, pushchair or small purse measuring no more than 25 x 30 x 14 cm (10 x 12 x 5.5 inches). Passengers travelling with an infant not occupying their own seat may carry one additional standard cabin bag for the child’s belongings.
Air Canada Pets In Cabin
Air Canada allows cats and small dogs to travel in the cabin, providing they are transported in a carrier with dimensions no greater than 23 x 40 x 55 cm (9 x 15.5 x 21.5 inches) for a hard-sided carrier, or 27 x 40 x 55 cm (10.5 x 15.5 x 21.5 inches) for a soft-sided carrier. The weight of the pet and carrier combined must not exceed 10 kg (22 lbs).
