Flair Airlines has strict size limits for carry-on bags: All carry-on bags are limited to a maximum size of 23 cm (9.05”) x 40 cm (15.74”) x 55 cm (21.65”) and a maximum weight of 10 kg (22 lb).
You can learn more about the Flair baggage size requirements on its website. Continue reading below for helpful tips on how to keep your bags within the limits set by Flair:
What Is The Flair Carry-On Size Allowance?
Flair’s carry-on size allowance is 23 cm x 40 cm x 55 cm, with a maximum weight of 10 kg.
Flair staff may check the size and weight of your carry-on; if it exceeds the maximum size, they may require you to treat it as checked baggage. Checked baggage typically incurs a higher fee. At times, the airplane may not have room for any more checked baggage; if that is the case, you may have to leave items behind or find yourself unable to board the flight.
How Flair Personal Item And Carry-On Rules Work
All Flair Airlines flights allow for one free personal item per passenger. This personal item has a maximum size of 15 cm (5.9”) x 33 cm (12.9”) x 43 cm (16.9”), and a maximum weight of 7 kg (15.5 lb).
Flair Airlines requires passengers to pay a fee if they want to board with carry-on baggage. As of the time of writing, the rates for carry-on baggage are as follows:
-
At time of booking: $49 - $109 per piece, per flight, per passenger
-
On “My Trips” after booking: $64 - $114 per piece, per flight, per passenger
-
During Online Check-in: $89 - $144 per piece, per flight, per passenger
-
At airport gate: $99-$154 per piece, per flight, per passenger
These fees are subject to change; always check with Flair Airlines before booking your flight for the most up-to-date fees.
Tips To Pack For Flair Without Paying Extra
When flying with Flair, you always have to pay extra to bring on a carry-on bag. Here’s how to avoid paying even more for your carry-on bag:

Purchase a Flair Airlines-Approved Carry-On to ensure your bag falls within its carry-on dimensions.

Use soft-sided baggage that can squeeze into the Flair sizer.
-
Roll clothes and use compression cubes to prevent your bag from becoming oversized.
-
Wear your bulkiest items of clothing to the airport to save space.
-
Pack as many things into your personal item bag as you can without going over the size limits.
-
Add your carry-on in a package while booking your flight to minimize fees.
Flair Carry-On Size FAQ

Does Flair have a carry-on weight limit?
It does; the weight limit is 10 kg (22 lb). We recommend weighing your carry-on item before flying with Flair.
Is a personal item included with every Flair fare?
Yes. Many Flair flyers opt to only bring a personal item to avoid the fees associated with carry-on baggage, but this is not always possible.
What happens if my carry-on is too big at the airport?
A carry-on bag that is too big at the airport may be treated as checked baggage; Flair Airlines charges additional fees for checked bags. In the worst-case scenario, the cargo hold may be full, and you may not be able to check your bag; should this occur, you may be required to empty your bag of some items to fly.
Can I bring both a personal item and a carry-on on Flair?
Absolutely. You will have to pay for the carry-on, but personal items are free when flying with Flair Airlines. Bringing both a personal item and a carry-on is a good way to keep both items within Flair’s size limits.
How strict is Flair about carry-on size checks?
Flair is extremely strict about carry-on size checks; anecdotally, it’s one of the strictest airlines in Canada. Expect both your personal item and your carry-on bag to be size checked. Failure to meet the size limits will almost always result in additional fees.
