Choosing a carry-on that passes

Size for your strictest flight. Basic and Bare fares on Air Canada, WestJet, Porter and Flair include only a personal item, around 41 × 33 × 15 cm. If any leg of your journey is on a fare like that, let its limit decide — everything roomier will then take care of itself.

Think outside measurements. A metal frame doesn’t care about the inner compartment — castors, grips and stuffed pockets all take space. We list outer sizes, and the “Max. size” or “More compact” tags on the carrier filters show how much margin remains.

Squashy or rigid? A soft rucksack yields a little when sensibly packed, which suits budget carriers. Hard shells guard fragile items but never flex — and they weigh more, which hurts under a 7–10 kg cap.

Wondering about toiletries? See liquids at Canadian airports, or read how to measure at home before the trip.
