However, paying with your Aeroplan card activates the included travel insurance.  <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choisir-le-bon-tarif\">Choose the Right Fare<\/h3>\n\n<p>Sometimes, paying a higher fare is cheaper than adding baggage fees.

But the flexible fare also includes 100% Aeroplan points accumulation on the flight (approximately 2,085 points for this route, worth about $44).

For travelers who need flexibility, the difference is easily justified. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-obtenir-le-statut-aeroplan-elite\">Obtain Aeroplan Elite Status<\/h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/reward-program\/aeroplan\/\">Aeroplan<\/a> Elite status offers progressive baggage benefits.

Some pleasant surprises to note: <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"component component__list checkmarks\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-checkmarks\">\n<li><strong>Skis and snowboards:<\/strong> free on flights between Canada and Europe, the Middle East, or Africa (except Basic Economy fare), including a boot bag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Golf bags:<\/strong> one bag with clubs, balls, and shoes counts as a single bag without oversized fees, as long as it weighs less than 23 kg<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n<p>For hockey, bicycles, musical instruments, surfboards, and hunting equipment, each category has specific conditions. Consult the special items page on the Air Canada website before heading to the airport. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n<p>The increase in Air Canada&#8217;s baggage fees in April 2026 is yet another reminder: ancillary fees are increasingly weighing heavily on the total cost of a trip. A first bag at $45 and a second at $60 on domestic flights quickly add up, especially for those traveling with family. <\/p>\n\n<p>The most accessible strategy remains the co-branded Aeroplan credit card. Starting from $120 to $139 in annual fees, you get a free checked bag for yourself and up to eight companions. If you take even two round-trip flights per year, the card pays for itself.  <\/p>\n\n<p>To receive our analyses on credit cards and loyalty programs every week, <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/newsletter\/\">subscribe to our newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='compare'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='card'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_card container_template--compare container_count--4'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"card_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"100492,108765,22723,108763\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-utm=\"wpb\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\n    <div class=\"card card-list card-list-header\">\n        <div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-dark shimmer-bar--short card-specs--title\"><\/div>\n        <div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-dark shimmer-bar--short card-specs--title\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"card card-list\">\n\n\t<div class=\"card-list--grid\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card-list--card\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-graphic-cta shimmer shimmer-card\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card-list--title-offer\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--title\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-list--offer\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--apply\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-btn\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card card-list\">\n\n\t<div class=\"card-list--grid\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card-list--card\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-graphic-cta shimmer shimmer-card\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card-list--title-offer\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--title\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-list--offer\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--apply\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-btn\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card card-list\">\n\n\t<div class=\"card-list--grid\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card-list--card\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-graphic-cta shimmer shimmer-card\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card-list--title-offer\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--title\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-list--offer\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--apply\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-btn\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card card-list\">\n\n\t<div class=\"card-list--grid\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card-list--card\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-graphic-cta shimmer shimmer-card\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card-list--title-offer\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--title\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card-list--offer\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--apply\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-btn\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"component component__promo__banner wp-block-milesgutenberg-promo-banner\">\n\t<i class=\"fontawesome-icon\">\n<svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t\t\t   <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M48 64C21.5 64 0 85.5 0 112c0 15.1 7.1 29.3 19.2 38.4L236.8 313.6c11.4 8.5 27 8.5 38.4 0L492.8 150.4c12.1-9.1 19.2-23.3 19.2-38.4c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48L48 64zM0 176L0 384c0 35.3 28.7 64 64 64l384 0c35.3 0 64-28.7 64-64l0-208L294.4 339.2c-22.8 17.1-54 17.1-76.8 0L0 176z\"\/>\n\t\t  \t<\/svg>\n<\/i>\t<div class=\"component__promo__banner__content\">\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"component__promo__banner__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\tNe ratez rien&nbsp;!\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>News, great deals, and updates directly to your inbox.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"inline-btn component__promo__banner__button\" href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/infolettre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" title=\"Recevez notre newsletter chaque semaine&nbsp;!\">\n\t\t\t\t\tJe m&#039;inscris\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"miles-clouds\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/themes\/milesopedia\/images\/clouds.png\" alt=\"Milesopedia\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div><\/aside>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frais-bagages-air-canada-questions-frequentes\">Air Canada Baggage Fees &#8211;
