WestJet also now charges between $35 and $42 for the first checked bag for economy fares booked after Feb. 14.
Peter Fitzpatrick, Air Canada spokesperson, told CBC News that the airline raised its bag fees “to remain competitive.”
CBC News also reached out to both Air Canada and WestJet to ask whether passengers can expect to pay a fee for carry-on bags, too, which are currently free. Representatives from both airlines simply said they have made no current changes to their policy of one free overhead bag.
