Standby passengers follow the same baggage rules as full-fare passengers (see the Baggage page on the Air Inuit website).

• The allowance depends on the aircraft type: 30 kg (66 lb) on the Boeing 737, 30 kg (66 lb) on the Dash-8 or Twin Otter, and 20 kg (44 lb) on the King Air.
• If any segment of your trip is on a turboprop (Dash-8, Twin Otter or King Air), the turboprop allowance applies to that segment.
• The allowance applies to direct flights and connections operated by Air Inuit.
• Air Inuit counts total weight, not pieces: you can check several bags as long as their combined weight stays within the allowance.
• Each bag can weigh up to 32 kg (70 lb). Heavier pieces aren't accepted as checked baggage and must go as cargo.
• Each bag can measure up to 158 cm (62 in) in total (height + width + length, including wheels and handles).
• Small vehicles powered by lithium batteries aren't accepted (see Restrictions and Prohibited Items on the Air Inuit website).
• Anything over the allowance is charged as excess baggage at $8.40-$9.20/kg (taxes included), paid at check-in. Excess baggage always travels on a space-available basis and within the maximum authorized payload.

• Online check-in isn't available for standby travel. Check in at the departure airport.
• Get to the airport well ahead of your flight so you have time to check in, drop your bags and clear security.

Check-in times, counted from scheduled departure (recommended / latest deadline):

• Montréal Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau International: 90 min / 45 min
• Quebec City Jean-Lesage: 90 min / 60 min
• All other airports: 60 min / 45 min

At cut-off you'll be told whether you have a confirmed seat on the flight you checked in for. As a courtesy, employees and space-available passengers always board last.

Staff travelers get a boarding priority code. Eligible dependents traveling with the employee share the employee's priority.

• SA1: Air Inuit employees and their dependents.
• SA2: retirees, buddy passes and employees of other airlines.

Within each code, priority goes by hire date.

Who can travel: eligible employees and retirees, and eligible dependents (a spouse (legally married or common-law, opposite or same sex), children under 24 and parents).

Bumping and compensation:

• Space-available passengers can be removed from a flight or bumped for Air Inuit's commercial needs.
• Passengers on travel privileges get no denied boarding or bumping compensation, under the tariff or any legislation.
