Getting you where you need to go with speed and comfort is all part of the Porter experience. Depending on the fare purchased, you can bring up to two free carry-on articles onboard, including a personal item and a standard carry-on bag.
Your fare determines what you can bring onboard with you. For example, if you are travelling on a Basic fare you are only permitted one personal item, with all other articles to be checked. Different fares will allow you more carry-on options.
All passengers are permitted one personal item on board.
Briefcase, purse, small backpack, camera bag, laptop computer or small garment bag
33 x 43 x 16 cm (13 x 17 x 6 in) 33 by 43 by 16 centimeters or 13 by 17 by 6 inches
If you are travelling on a Basic fare, a standard carry-on bag is not included.
Duffel bag, backpack, suitcase or pet carrierDuffel bag, backpack, suitcase or pet carrier footnote*
55 x 40 x 23 cm (21.5 x 15.5 x 9 in) 55 by 40 by 23 centimeters or 21.5 by 15.5 by 9 inches
In order to keep yourself on schedule, without any baggage hiccups, please make sure that your carry-on bag is smaller than the maximum size.
All carry-on baggage must fit in the sizing units located both at check-in and the gate areas.
Onboard the aircraft, all carry-on baggage must be stowed under the seat or in the overhead compartments. Porter may require that an item of carry-on baggage travel as checked luggage if the bag cannot be safely stowed in the cabin.
If your carry-on is oversized, it will be checked at the gate for a fee.
Please note that additional baggage restrictions may be imposed at the airport without prior notice.
GatePorter service offers you the opportunity to leave your carry-on bag at the aircraft bridge prior to boarding. This includes devices needed to assist you in getting to the gate, such as a mobility aids and strollers for small children.
Items that are GatePortered will be transferred to the aircraft baggage hold for transport. Upon arrival at the destination, the baggage will be returned to the bridge for passenger pick up. We recommend that you take all essential items such as medication, glasses, laptop or any fragile items out of your GatePorter bag before boarding as they will not be available to you until after the aircraft has arrived at the gate.
GatePortered bags must follow the same rules as carry-on luggage and are not meant for oversized luggage.
Passengers are responsible to transport their GatePorter bags to connecting flights.
All GatePortered baggage will be delivered to the customs baggage carousel. However, strollers and mobility aids will still be returned to passengers at the gate upon arrival. Passengers must not store their passport in their carry-on if they plan to use the GatePorter service as they will be unable to proceed through customs.
Passengers travelling to Chicago-Midway (MDW), who choose to utilize the GatePorter service, will not have their items returned at the gate. These bags will be delivered to the baggage carousel post customs. Passengers are thus advised not to store their passports in their GatePortered bags. Strollers and other assistive devices will still be delivered at the top of the bridge.
If you are travelling with an infant under the age of 2 on your lap, you may bring a diaper bag to carry their belongings, in addition to your personal carry-on allowance. Standard carry-on allowance applies to infants and children with a reserved seat.
For detailed information on allowances and other related items, please review Baggage Allowance for Children and Infants.
You can bring your mobility aid or any other assistive device at no extra charge in addition to the standard baggage allowance, as long as it’s for your personal use. This includes, but is not limited to wheelchairs, scooters, canes, crutches, walkers, braces, CPAP machines and personal oxygen concentrators.
We will carry your assistive devices as priority checked baggage when stored in the cargo hold, or in the aircraft cabin where space permits. If you are traveling with a scooter or other large assistive device, please ensure that the height and width of the device does not exceed the size of the aircraft cargo door. For more information, visit the Mobility and Wheelchair Assistance page.

The following items are also not counted against your carry-on allowance:
Safety regulations limit the quantity of liquids, aerosols and gels that can be transported in your carry-on baggage. To speed up security screening, please ensure that the liquids, personal/toiletry items and non-solid food in your carry-on are packaged properly before arriving at the airport.
If there is time before your flight, you can:
You can travel with duty-free liquids, gels or cream products of more than 100 ml in your carry-on, provided that they have been sealed at the point of purchase in a Security Tamper Evident Bag with the receipt inside.
Duty-free items in reasonable quantities do not count towards your carry-on baggage allowance for your next flight.
If you want to leave the airport and return later for your connecting flight, you can take your duty-free purchases with you as long as you don't open the sealed bag. When you return, you will need to go through security again. A receipt must accompany all purchases and the security bag must not be tampered with or opened prior to going through security at a transfer airport. You should be aware that the Security Tamper Evident Bags are valid for a maximum of 48 hours.
Porter is not liable for any products opened or confiscated during transit or disembarkation.
You may be asked to surrender you duty-free purchases if:
If your duty-free purchases do not clear security, you can:
There are some items that can only travel in your carry-on bag and some items that must be checked. Learn what you can bring with you on board before arriving at the airport and breeze through security.
Keep in mind that even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns. The final decision rests with the security officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
All prices are per person in Canadian dollars. Taxes and fees are included in the total package price. Prices and availability are not final until reservation is confirmed with payment. Baggage fees and other optional fees charged by Porter are not included.
