One table on WestJet’s carry-on page gives the personal item 15 cm on its shortest side. The sentence under it and the size table on its baggage page give 14 cm, and all say 6 inches.
UltraBasic
An UltraBasic ticket allows one personal item, and WestJet doesn’t sell a carry-on bag on it. A carry-on bag comes back on flights to and from Europe and Asia, and when Extended Comfort is bought for every flight in one direction, connections included.
An UltraBasic guest who brings a carry-on bag to the gate without one of those exceptions has to check it, and pays a checked bag fee and a service fee.
Fares and checked bags
- UltraBasic: 1 personal item only, except to and from Europe and Asia or with Extended Comfort bought for every flight one way; a checked bag costs extra.
- Econo: 1 carry-on bag and 1 personal item; a checked bag costs extra, except to and from Asia, where the first is included.
- EconoFlex: 1 carry-on bag and 1 personal item; the first checked bag is included.
A checked bag of 158 to 203 cm (62 to 80 in) in total pays an oversize fee. One over 23 kg pays an overweight fee, up to 45 kg (100 lb), or up to 32 kg (70 lb) to and from Europe. Each guest can check up to 4 bags, 3 on WestJet Encore and 2 on flights to Kingston, Jamaica.
Sizers and storage
Carry-on bags and personal items must fit WestJet’s sizing device, wheels included, and be light enough to lift into the overhead bin unaided. The personal item goes under the seat in front of you.
