The baggage policy at WestJet aims at offering convenience, safety and flexibility of fare to passengers. The fees and allowance will be based on your type of fare (UltraBasic, Econo, Premium, or Business), the route (domestic or international), and the timing of purchase of baggage. Most passengers are usually allowed to carry one personal item without charge and carry-on and baggage regulations differ. WestJet also applies size and weight restrictions, and overweight and additional baggage fee would incur extra fees as well.

For Domestic Flights 

• Carry-on Allowance: One checked baggage no more than 50 pounds along with one carry-on with a small personal item- and that would include higher luggage costs.
• UltraBasic Fares: The only item that customers can bring aboard the plane is a personal item because customers flying between Europe and Asia, or those with Extended Comfort tickets, can bring one carry-on bag. 
• Checked Baggage: Baggage fees vary according to your ticket type and payment time because UltraBasic charges fees for first and second checked bags, while EconoFlex, Premium, and Business ticket holders receive one or two free checked bags.
• Size & Weight Limits: The total dimensions of checked bags must remain below 157 cm which equals 62 inches weight must stay under 23 kg which equals 50 lb because any overweight or oversized baggage will result in additional charges.
