RE: Heads Up, More Air Canada fees coming
Hi early in,
If you go look on Air Canada's Web site under check in luggage or dangerous goods you will see that it says that there is a charge of $150.00 to bring antlers on their aircraft. Last year when I saw this, I almost fell backwards as I had already booked with them. So, when we came back home they asked me if I had antlers and I told them no, just meat so I did not pay the fee. My Buddy panicked and said yes and she told him to dish out $150.00!!!!!!! What a rip off. Now this was at the Regina airport. Some clerks might be more lenient than others as well. This should never happen but to make sure, don't tell them. As for the $135.00 fee for firearms, it will be hard for them not to notice it so I guess that the ones that fly with AC will have to pay.
