WestJet rules
- An instrument that fits the overhead bin or under the seat is your carry-on bag, and you may bring one personal item as well.
- Listed carry-on size is 56 × 23 × 36 cm. Crew may accept an irregular-sized instrument, subject to space, so it is not guaranteed.
- Seats cannot be bought for instruments.
- UltraBasic fares: the instrument must fit the personal-item size of 41 × 15 × 33 cm.
- Checked instruments should be in a hard case; normal baggage, oversize and overweight fees apply.
- If the aircraft is swapped for a smaller one, WestJet says it will offer options when the instrument no longer fits.
