Very important info to know for AC!
A Basic fare is really not the best option! May cost you more once you add everything.
MONTREAL - Air Canada plans to bar carry-on bags and impose a seat selection fee for its lowest-fare customers in the new year.
Starting Jan. 3, the country's largest airline says passengers who opt for its basic fare on trips within North America and to sun destinations will have to check any duffel bags, rolling suitcases and large backpacks for a fee — $35 for the first, $50 for the second.
The airline also said that as of Jan. 21 lower-tier customers will have to pay if they want to change the seat assigned to them at check-in — a policy it had suspended just two days after implementation earlier this year amid backlash from travellers.
