Air Canada tagging all carry-on bags
Canadian flyers beware – Air Canada’s carry-on police will be on the prowl at Toronto Pearson Airport from next week.
Air Canada said it will start tagging all cabin luggage starting Monday May 25 and will have staff stationed at check-in and security checkpoints to ensure all carry-ons conform to size and weight limits.
Bags that meet size dimensions will be given an ‘approved’ tag.
Air Canada said it will expand the coverage to other airports during the month of June.
"This will make it easier and safer to stow your personal items on board, may help reduce wait times at security, and will help avoid flight delays caused by larger bags being checked at the gate," the airline said in a statement.
Last year Air Canada started charging a $25 checked bag fee which has now become an industry standard with rival Canadian carriers WestJet and Porter Airlines adopting a similar policy.
