WestJet UltraBasic: a cabin-size bag may still be outside your allowance
WestJet’s ordinary carry-on size is 56 × 23 × 36 centimeters, but fitting that size does not create entitlement under UltraBasic. The airline does not present a simple carry-on add-on as a universal UltraBasic solution. Check your fare and every segment before deciding what to pack. When relying on Extended Comfort, verify that the required flights in that direction qualify. Compare checking a bag with an eligible fare or seating option using the current booking quote rather than assuming a fee at the gate will be equivalent. Measure the personal item separately and keep it within the applicable under-seat allowance. Review the return journey independently if its fare or seating differs. Save confirmation of any purchased change, then check the updated baggage entitlement. Do not use a standard cabin-size label on a suitcase as evidence that your ticket includes it.
