What is the fee for traveling with a bicycle on my Air Canada flight?

If you're planning to travel with your bicycle on an Air Canada flight, you should be aware of the associated fees and restrictions. The cost for transporting a bicycle on an Air Canada flight depends on the destination, as well as the type of fare you've purchased. In general, the fee for traveling with a bicycle ranges from $50 to $100 CAD/USD each way, though prices may vary depending on the route and the currency in use.

It's important to note that Air Canada requires you to pack your bicycle in a specific manner to ensure safe and secure transport. Your bicycle must be packed in a hard case, bike box or soft case that is designed for bicycle transport, and the handlebars must be fixed sideways and pedals removed, among other requirements. Additional charges may apply if your bike does not meet these requirements, so it's best to check with Air Canada for details.

Finally, it's recommended that you inform Air Canada that you'll be traveling with a bicycle at least 24 hours before your flight to ensure adequate space is available in the cargo hold.

Please note that bicycles are accepted on a space available basis only and should be pre-registered at time of booking. You can do this by contacting Air Canada customer service or by using the online check-in system.
