Frequently asked questions

What is the WestJet checked bag weight limit?

WestJet’s own page gives 23 kg / 50 lb for a standard checked bag. Overweight bags up to 45 kg / 100 lb are accepted space-available, except to and from Europe where 32 kg / 70 lb is the maximum. Weigh the packed bag at home: a luggage scale costs less than a single overweight fee at most airlines.

How big can a checked bag be on WestJet?

The standard size is 62 linear inches / 157 cm, measured as length plus width plus height with wheels and handles. Of the 17 checked suitcases in our catalog with wheels-included listing sizes, 9 are within it, the largest being 58.3 linear inches. 8 of the 28 to 30 inch cases are over it, so check a large case’s wheels-included figure before you buy it for WestJet.

What happens if my WestJet bag is overweight?

WestJet charges an overweight fee above the standard limit; the amount was not confirmed from its page for this site, so check the airline. Moving a few pounds into your carry-on is usually the cheapest fix.

Researched, not professional advice. Fees change often and differ by route, fare and status; check the airline before you fly.
