Which fares include the carry-on
- Basic: 1 personal item only; every other bag is checked.
- Standard, Flexible, Freedom, Navigate and Ultimate: 1 personal item and 1 standard carry-on bag; whether a checked bag is free depends on the fare and VIPorter status.
Porter counts a pet carrier as the one standard carry-on, so a passenger with a pet brings one personal item besides it.
The sizing units
Every carry-on bag must fit the sizing units at check-in and at the gate. A bag that’s too big is checked at the gate for a fee, and Porter may also check a bag that can’t be stowed safely in the cabin.
Checked bags
Porter caps any one checked piece at 32 kg (70 lb). A bag over the size or weight can still be checked for an oversize or overweight fee at the airport, when there’s space on the aircraft. Checked bag fees depend on the route and on where you pay, and cost least when added while booking on flyporter.com.
