Air Canada has updated its baggage policy on its Vancouver-Sapporo route. In a move chronic overpackers and those heading for a winter vacation (complete with bulky snowpants and wooly sweaters) will love, the airline has increased the baggage allowance to a generous two checked bags per person. The change applies to flights from Canada and the U.S. in Economy Standard and Flex on tickets purchased on or following June 9, 2026.

For more information on Air Canada’s baggage policies, please see www.aircanada.com.
