Founded in 2013, Canada Jetlines is an upcoming ultra-low-cost airline based in Hamilton, Ontario. The airline plans to base its operations at Vancouver International Airport in British Columbia and will offer low-fare domestic flights within Canada, as well as international flights to other parts of North and Central America. The airline originally had planned to begin services in late 2018 or early 2019, however, this never came to fruition and a launch date was pushed back. It was later announced in 2021 that the airline has a new anticipated launch date of early 2022. The airline decided to restructure and change its business plans focusing on both leisure and charter services to sun and holiday destinations. The airline will use a fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft with the first being delivered in December 2021, with plans to receive a further 14 aircraft by 2025.
Baggage Policy
Canada Jetlines has different baggage allowances for carry-on baggage and checked baggage.
Carry-on Baggage
Currently, it is unknown what the airline's cabin baggage policy will be. However, it is expected that 1 item of luggage may be included in your ticket. This could either be a cabin case or a personal item such as a small backpack or handbag. More details on this will be published nearer the airline's launch.
Checked Baggage
Similarly, the airline's checked baggage policy is unknown. The airline may offer different fare types allowing a suitcase, however, this is unsure. Additionally, as the airline plans on operating charter services, they may do so on behalf of tour operators who may have different baggage policies dependent on your booking.
Cabin Classes
Economy Class
The airline is yet to provide details on their proposed cabin configuration, however, it is highly likely that there will be an economy class product installed on their aircraft. It is currently unknown how this product will look, what the seat dimensions may be or the features of an economy class ticket.
Premium Economy
It is unsure whether the airline will offer a premium class product. As the airline plans on operating leisure services, it may be unlikely that a premium cabin is installed.
In-flight Entertainment & WIFI
Jetlines currently doesn't offer in-flight entertainment onboard for its passengers.
WIFI
Canada Jetlines has reported that they are installing the Flymingo Box service onboard their aircraft allowing passengers to connect to the local cloud. This means that Wifi will be offered onboard the aircraft so passengers can access entertainment from their personal devices as well as track the status of the flight and shop via an online duty-free platform.
Food & Drink
The airline is yet to disclose its proposed inflight food and beverages services. It may be likely that this service will come at an additional cost to passengers with snacks and drinks being available for purchase from an onboard bar. However, upon the airline's launch of services, more information will be provided.
Check-In
Online Check-in
Canada Jetlines does currently have a website, however, it is not taking reservations as of yet. This also means that it is not clear whether the airline will offer online check-in facilities. It is anticipated that more information surrounding this will become available nearer the airline's launch.
Airport Check-in
It is expected that the airline will offer check-in facilities at their airport locations. However, it is unclear how this will look, if there will be expedited facilities for premium passengers or if there will be self-service kiosks. It is also unknown when the check-in desks open and closes prior to the scheduled departure time. However, we recommend arriving at the airport no later than 90 minutes before your flight.
Frequent Flyer Programme
The airline currently doesn't have a frequent flyer program and due to its business model, it may be unlikely that a program is offered.
Airline Alliance
As the airline is still in its planning phases it is unsure if the airline will join an airline alliance.
