Check my bag for Porter AirlinesThe three baggage types, explained
Airlines split what you travel with into three allowances. Each has its own size and weight limit, and the one you exceed decides what you pay.
The small bag that goes under the seat in front of you — handbag, laptop bag or small backpack. Usually free and rarely weighed.
The wheeled case you take into the cabin and store in the overhead bin. Sized at the gate, and weighed by many airlines.
The large suitcase you hand over at the desk and collect at your destination. Charged by bag, with strict weight limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a cabin bag free on Porter Airlines?
Not on every fare. The cheapest option (PorterClassic Basic) includes only a small bag up to 43 × 33 × 16 cm (16.9 × 13 × 6.3 in) that fits under the seat. A cabin bag up to 55 × 40 × 23 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 9.1 in) comes with PorterClassic Standard/Flexible/Freedom; PorterReserve Navigate/Ultimate.
What happens if my bag doesn't fit Porter Airlines' sizer?
Staff can send it to the hold at the gate and charge for it, and a gate charge is usually far more than adding the bag online before you fly. The current amounts are on Porter Airlines' own fees page. Porter Airlines baggage fees
