The check bag cost on Air Canada varies depending on several factors, such as the route, travel class, and even your loyalty program status. For example, if you're flying economy within Canada or to the US, you can expect to pay around CAD 30 for your first checked bag. But, if you're flying internationally, the cost can jump to CAD 100 or more - ouch!
Now, you might be wondering why these fees are so high. Think of it like a convenience fee - you're paying for the privilege of having your bag safely stowed in the cargo hold. After all, someone has to ensure your luggage arrives at the same destination as you, right? It's like paying for insurance - you hope you never need it, but it's there just in case.
