Recent Traveller Feedback
Booked the cheapest Flair fare from Vancouver to Calgary and only brought a small backpack as my personal item. It measured 40x30x14cm and weighed about 5kg. The gate agent didn't even glance at it — fit perfectly under the seat and cost me nothing extra.
Thought my rolling carry-on would be fine but it got measured at the boarding gate in Edmonton. It was slightly over the 23cm depth limit. Had to pay the gate fee on the spot — way more expensive than adding it online during booking. Total waste of money.

Added a 23kg checked bag during booking for my Toronto to Halifax flight. Paid around $55 upfront which was way cheaper than buying at the airport. Bag weighed 21kg at check-in, no issues. Pickup in YHZ was quick too.
