Flair Airlines Introduces Express Travel Perks for Pax Paying for Carry-On Bags

Flair Airlines Introduces Express Travel Perks for Pax Paying for Carry-On Bags

Regulatory scrutiny may have helped Flair Airlines dodge a bullet.

Starting today for the first time, any Flair traveller who purchases a carry-on bag—whether as part of a bundle or à la carte—will automatically receive Flair Express perks. This means a faster, more efficient airport journey from check-in to boarding, plus access to a dedicated Flair Express priority lane.

“Canadians deserve travel that adapts to them—not the other way around,” says Maciej Wilk, CEO of Flair Airlines. “Flair Express is a simple enhancement that makes a meaningful difference: shorter lines, fewer hassles, and a smoother start to every trip. It’s another way we’re delivering on our Flair FWD commitment to make Flair the easiest airline to fly.”

Flair FWD continues to introduce customer-focused improvements in 2026, including: 

  • New Fare Bundles: Four simplified bundles—Basic, Lite, Plus, and MAX—to give travellers more choice and flexibility. 
  • Ticket Resale with Fairlyne: Flair becomes North America’s first airline to offer secure ticket resale, allowing travellers to resell unused seats and giving others access to lower fares. 
  • Flair Vacations: Launching this December, offering bundled flights + hotels across Flair’s expanding network, including Mexico, the Southern United States, and the Caribbean. 
  • A new app: Launching soon, customers can book flights with ease on our new app. 

“Every month, we’re finding new ways to make flying with Flair feel better,” Wilk added. “Flair Express is the latest example, and it’s only the beginning.”
