In the news!
Air Canada insists it's now charging fees that better reflect the extra
costs of special services, and many consumers are willing to pay higher
fares for improved service and greater flexibility.

Air Canada's website Wednesday outlined charges for pets, including $105 for
a one-way flight within North America, either in the cabin or in cargo as
checked luggage. That new "blended continental fee" is up from $40 in
Canada, but down from $110 in the United States. Pets have to go in a secure
container and fit under the seat to fly in the cabin on North America
flights.

But on overseas flights, even if Fido fits under the seat, Air Canada now
bans pets from the cabin, although flying cargo internationally is an option
for a $245 fee.

Air Canada also tightened weight limits Wednesday for its free checked
baggage allowance. The free luggage allowance for two bags will fall to
nearly 23 kilograms each from almost 32 kilograms each. In that instance,
travellers with a bag weighing 23 kilograms to 32 kilograms face a $35 fee
for North American travel and $60 fee for international travel.
