Flair Airlines just made a huge new upgrade for certain travellers
Those long lines to measure your carry-on may be a thing of the past for some travellers, with Flair Airlines launching a new perk just in time for holiday travel.
Today, the Edmonton-headquartered ultra-low-cost carrier launched Flair Express: a new, system-wide upgrade that promises quicker, more streamlined service for travellers.
Any traveller who buys a carry-on bag, whether on its own or as part of a Lite or Max bundle, will automatically get Flair Express benefits.
That includes dedicated check-in lines, priority boarding through a separate Flair Express lane, and fewer bag checks, with carry-ons only being measured if they’re clearly oversized.

“Canadians deserve travel that adapts to them, not the other way around,” CEO Maciej Wilk said in a statement, adding that Flair Express is meant to cut stress, reduce wait times, and “deliver on our Flair FWD promise to make Flair the easiest airline to fly.”
The update is part of its broader Flair FWD strategy announced by the airline earlier this year. Other changes coming include four simplified fare bundles (Basic, Lite, Plus and MAX) and a partnership with Fairlyne that makes Flair the first airline in North America to offer secure ticket resale for unused seats.
