Baggage

Carry-on Baggage

Your carry-on baggage is brought with you through security screening. Each airline sets the number of carry-on bag allowances, as well as the size and weight restrictions for each bag. Check with your airline for more details.

Checked Baggage

Airlines set their own baggage allowance standards, including size and weight restrictions. Check with your airline for checked bag limitations or to learn how to pack specific items.

When you arrive at the airport, your checked luggage will be weighed and tagged before you place it on the designated bag drop. If you're travelling with special items, such as golf clubs or bicycles, please review airline policies in advance as some restrictions may apply.

What Can I Bring? 

Unsure what you can and cannot bring with you through screening? Please visit the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) website and use the what can I bring tool  to help you pack and search for specific items you are looking to bring, but are unsure if they are allowed. 

Baggage Carousels

There are two baggage carousels located on the main floor of our terminal, outlined on our area map. Your checked bag will appear on either carousel shortly after your flight has arrived. 

Baggage Carts

We have numerous baggage carts available on the main floor of our terminal, between our two baggage carousels. The baggage carts are free to use to help assist passengers with their baggage,
