Default Heads Up, More Air Canada fees coming

Hi guys

Just read that Air Canada is going to be charging a $65.00 dollar fee per way($135.00 total) for you to bring your firearms on their aircrafts. Yes this also applies to Americans using Air Canada. It's not enough that they charge $150.00 for antlers(If you declare them) and $105.00 for an extra baggage in which by the way they dropped the limit from 70lbs to 50!!!!!! All this said, it also applies when your luggage and firearms don't arrive at the same time as you which is often. There is a way around it, don't fly with them!!!!! This year we will fly with West Jet which makes a connection from Toronto to Saskatoon so this might be an option. I just phoned them up(WJ) and they have no plans as of today of charging a fee for firearms. I read an article where an American said that Canadians do not want Amercan Business but this is not true. It seems Air Canada does not want your business. Hopefully I've been helpfull as I know it's almost time to book your flights for this Fall.
