Sunwing Airlines is pleased to accept Service Dogs for travel. Regretfully, we are unable to accept any other type of animal on board. The airline's definition of a Service Dog is a dog that is professionally trained to assist a person with disabilities.
If you're planning on travelling with your Service Dog, please be aware of the following:
- The Service Dog must be properly harnessed
- The dog must be certified as a service animal by a licensed professional service animal institution
- Please ensure you bring two copies of each of these documents: training certificate, updated vaccination records and license to give to the check-in agent and to show to the Destination Authorities when you arrive - different countries have different requirements for service animals; please ensure you are familiar with what your destination's regulations may require
- The Service Dog will be required to travel at the handler's feet - not on a seat - and our Special Services representative will assist you with selecting the most appropriate place onboard so that your canine companion has enough floor space to lie down

- Our Sales Agents or Special Services representative will be happy to advise on which hotels accommodate Service Dogs, as some destinations are more suitable than others for this requirement
If you have mobility restrictions that may impede you boarding a standard transfer vehicle, we strongly recommend you make arrangements for a separate transfer through Special Services at specialservices@sunwing.ca or by calling (416) 957 4011 x8091 during regular business hours. The standard transfer vehicle provided in your package will likely not be able to accommodate the size of your mobility aid. You may be required to purchase a separate transfer in order to ensure a seamless transportation experience. The cost of the transfer will depend on the distance of the transfer to your destination.
Should you require assistance from your wheelchair to the transfer vehicle, you must travel with a companion or attendant who is capable of providing this service as the drivers of the local transfer companies are not professionally trained to do this.
If you are travelling with a plaster cast it is required that you have a 'fit to fly' declaration issued from the treating physician with you at all times.
At Sunwing, we work hard to accommodate the different special needs of our passengers. Regretfully, we are unable to guarantee an environment that is free of airborne allergens within the airports or onboard our flights. We do our utmost to care for our passengers and do not supply peanut products onboard. While we advise the catering companies to avoid such products, they are unable to guarantee there won't be traces of these products from their suppliers.
Any passengers with food allergies are highly recommended to bring their own food for personal consumption. Once onboard, please advise our cabin crew, and they will be happy to make a courtesy announcement asking your fellow passengers to avoid consuming these allergen products. While we cannot guarantee their compliance, we will do our best in providing the information to those onboard your flight.
Additionally, Sunwing Airlines will not stop our planned service of meals and snacks to which a passenger may be allergic as this would not be fair to all of the other passengers. We cannot be responsible for passengers who may bring peanuts, nuts, apples or any other allergen products onboard your flight or for any residue that may remain on or between seat cushions or any other common-use area. It is the responsibility of any passengers who are allergic or sensitive to products that may be found or may be airborne in the cabin to carry in their personal possession any medications or required remedies and to have the proper protection. For passengers who have airborne allergies, we highly recommend that for your safety and well-being you arrange for the use of Supplemental Personal Oxygen while onboard your flights. Please find more information on Oxygen & POC Services by clicking here
At Sunwing Airlines, we are concerned about your safety and comfort. If you are a person who is unable to sit in the aircraft seat without raising the arm rest, or if you require the use of an additional seat belt(s), we would like to hear from you at the time of booking.
Please ensure you contact a Sales Centre or Group Sales agent at the time of booking, as they will assist you to ensure arrangements are made in advance in order to avoid any disappointment or problems at the check-in counter. If an extra seat is required, a Sales Agent will advise you of the additional cost associated with the extra seat for your roundtrip flight.
If an extra seat cannot be confirmed and purchased for the return flight, regretfully, your booking will be denied.

The airline defines 'self-reliant' as "a passenger who is completely independent, self-sufficient, and can take care of his or her personal physical needs in-flight; does not require any special attention other than that granted to the general public".
If you are 'non self-reliant' - "dependent on the care of another person to attend to your personal or physical needs", you will require a companion or attendant while travelling. The travel companion and/or attendant must be physically able and will be responsible to attend to your personal and special needs.
While our cabin crew may assist with opening the packaging of your meals and will identify what is being served, they are unable to assist with the feeding of such meals.
For us to determine the type of assistance required, we may need to review your special needs at the following check points:
- At the time of booking - with your sales or group sales agent or with Special Services at specialservices@sunwing.ca or by calling (416) 957 4011 x8091 during regular business hours
- Checking in for your flight (check-in counter)
- Onboard the aircraft during your personal briefing with the cabin crew
- If you are dependent on the care of another person to attend to your physical or personal needs please click here
If at any check point there is concern that we won't be able to adequately meet your needs while onboard, we may not be able to accept you for travel.* Should you be denied travel, we kindly request that you contact your travel agent or the Sunwing Sales Centre at 1-877-SUNWING (786-9464) to discuss the necessary provisions required for your future travel with Sunwing Airlines. (Additional costs and penalties for a cancelled booking may be incurred.)
*Sunwing Airlines adheres to the regulations and protocol set by Transport Canada and the Canadian Transportation Agency. Every effort is made to accommodate all passengers; however due to safety considerations and regulations, there may be special circumstances where the acceptance of a passenger may be restricted.
Always pack medication in your carry-on. In the unlikely event your checked-in bag is delayed, you will want access to your prescription drugs and it may be challenging to have prescriptions filled in your destination. You may want to put small quantities of over-the-counter meds (pain relievers, allergy meds etc.) in your carry-on in case you need access to them while in transit.
CATSA considers some items non-medicinal essentials and therefore the 100 ml limit for carry-on does not apply. Click here for details.
If you're travelling with someone who has medication for allergies - puffers, epi-pens, etc, keep those items handy in your carry-on. If anyone in your travel party has a medical alert bracelet, this would be a good time for them to wear it.
If travelling with medication, please be advised of the following:
- Medication should never be packed in checked baggage, always place in your carry-on
- You should bring a physician's letter indicating the type of medication or a copy of the prescription as the airport authorities may request this
- Unfortunately, we do not have the facilities onboard to refrigerate medication. You can bring a small soft-sided cooler that must not exceed 5 kilograms in weight and 23 cm x 40 cm x 51 cm (9" x 16" x 20") in place of a carry-on item. Passengers are permitted to use up to 2.5 kg of dry ice on board to pack perishables provided this has been pre-approved in writing by the airline at least 72 hours in advance. Please contact Special Services to obtain approval
- Syringes or needles for personal medical use are allowed onboard provided the needle guard is intact, and must be accompanied by the prescription medication with a printed label identifying the medication name and the issuing medical office or pharmacy

It is critical that you advise the Sales Centre/Group Sales or Special Services at the time of booking that you will be bringing a POC as well as the model of the POC.
