What is the fee for traveling with a golf bag on my WestJet flight?

If you're traveling with a golf bag on a WestJet flight, the fee will depend on your destination and the type of fare you've purchased. As of March 2023, the fees for checking a golf bag on a WestJet flight are as follows:

• Within Canada: $30 CAD for a standard fare, or $25 CAD for a basic fare
• To/from the United States: $60 CAD for a standard fare, or $50 CAD for a basic fare
• To/from Mexico or the Caribbean: $60 CAD for a standard fare, or $50 CAD for a basic fare
• To/from Europe: $100 CAD for a standard fare, or $80 CAD for a basic fare

It's important to note that these fees are subject to change, so be sure to check with WestJet or review the latest baggage fee information on the WestJet website before your flight.

When checking a golf bag on a WestJet flight, it's also important to ensure that your bag meets the airline's size and weight restrictions, as well as any additional requirements for packing and labeling.

The fee for traveling with a golf bag on a WestJet flight depends on the fare class you have booked. For Basic and Econo fares, there is no free checked bag allowance. For EconoFlex fares, you are allowed one free checked bag, and for Premium fares, you are allowed two free checked bags. Golf clubs would be considered a regular piece of checked baggage, so any of WestJet's regular fees would apply.

The fees for checked bags on WestJet are as follows:

• For flights within North America, the first checked bag costs $30 + tax, the second checked bag costs $50 + tax, and additional bags cost $100 each.
• For international flights to/from Europe, the first checked bag costs $60 + tax, the second checked bag costs $90 + tax, and additional bags cost $100 each.

In addition to the regular checked bag fees, WestJet also charges a $50 handling fee for transporting select sporting equipment, including golf clubs.

If you are traveling with a golf bag, it is important to make sure that it meets WestJet's baggage size and weight restrictions. Golf bags must not exceed 62 inches in length, 24 inches in width, and 11 inches in height. The maximum weight for a golf bag is 50 pounds.

If your golf bag exceeds these size or weight restrictions, you may be charged an oversize or overweight baggage fee. The oversize bag fee is $75, and the overweight bag fee is $75.

If you are unsure whether your golf bag will meet WestJet's baggage size and weight restrictions, you can contact WestJet customer service for more information.
