Flair Airlines lures you in with rock-bottom fares, but here's the catch: even a carry-on bag costs extra. As a true ultra-low-cost carrier, Flair charges for everything beyond a small personal item. And the longer you wait to pay, the more it costs. Here's the full breakdown—and a way to beat the system.
Please consult Flair's website to verify the exact fee for your route.

LugLess vs. Flair checked bag fees
Flair's whole model is built on charging for bags. LugLess ships your luggage from $35 CAD with no lines, no weigh-ins, and direct delivery to your destination. For many routes, it's half the price of checking a bag on Flair.
Don't take our word for it—check our fee calculator. Shipping your bags with LugLess vs. checking them on Flair is often dramatically cheaper, especially for multiple bags or bulky sports equipment like golf clubs and ski gear.
Flair Airlines carry-on & personal item rules
This is where Flair really gets you. Unlike most airlines, Flair does not include a carry-on bag with any ticket. Here's what you get:
- Personal item (FREE): 15 × 33 × 43 cm (6" × 13" × 17"), max 7 kg (15.5 lbs) — must fit under seat
- Carry-on bag (PAID): 23 × 40 × 55 cm (9" × 15.7" × 21.7"), max 10 kg (22 lbs) — starts at $49 CAD
Important: Your personal item must fit in Flair's bag sizer at the airport. If it doesn't, they'll charge you to check it—at the most expensive gate price. Pack carefully.
Flair Express members get carry-on included with their subscription, which makes sense if you fly Flair frequently.
Flair Airlines checked baggage policy
Flair's standard checked bag limits:
- Maximum weight per bag: 23 kg (50 lbs)
- Maximum size: total linear dimension (length + width + height) up to 158 cm (62")
- Maximum bags: 5 per passenger (2 on Kingston, Jamaica routes)
- Absolute maximum weight: 45 kg (99 lbs) with overweight fees
- Absolute maximum size: 292 cm with oversized fees
Flair also offers a 10 kg checked bag option at the same price as a carry-on ($49–109 CAD at booking). This can only be purchased at booking or through My Trips—not at the airport.
Sports equipment fees on Flair
Flying with sports gear on Flair? It's going to cost you. Here are the fees per piece, per flight:
| Equipment | Online (booking/My Trips) | Airport gate |
|---|---|---|
| Golf clubs | $69–94 | $99–139 |
| Skis or snowboard | $69–94 | $99–139 |
| Hockey / ringette / lacrosse | $69–94 | $99–139 |
| Bicycle | $79–109 | $99–139 |
Pro tip: Sports equipment must be added through My Trips at least 24 hours before departure. LugLess ships golf clubs, skis, and hockey bags from $35 CAD—often half the price of Flair's sports fees, with no airline restrictions.
Overweight & Oversized baggage on Flair
Flair charges per-kilogram overweight fees on top of the already-expensive checked bag price:
| Bag type | Additional fee (CAD) |
|---|---|
| Overweight (23–45 kg / 50–99 lbs) | $9–24 per kg over 23 kg |
| Oversized (158–292 cm) | $99–139 on top of bag fee |
A bag that's 10 kg over the limit could cost you $90–240 in overweight fees on top of the $69–164 checked bag fee. LugLess ships bags up to 75 lbs door-to-door from $35 CAD. No per-kilogram math required.
How to avoid Flair Airlines baggage fees
Smart packing is essential when flying Flair. Here are a few strategies:
- Travel with just a personal item if you can—it's the only free baggage on Flair.
- If you need bags, always book them at the time of ticket purchase for the lowest price.
- Wear your heaviest items and bulkiest shoes on the plane.
- Consider Flair Express if you fly frequently—it includes carry-on.
- Check if a Flair bundle saves you money vs. adding bags individually.
Or skip the fee circus entirely. LugLess ships your bags door-to-door, often for a fraction of Flair's bag fees. No weigh-ins, no bag sizers, no gate-price gotchas.
