Westjet's low-cost carrier swoop is facing a complaint from an air passenger rights advocate.
Gabor Lukacs says Swoop airline's approach to baggage fees is ``deceptive'' and has filed a complaint with the Canadian Transportation agency.
Lukacs claims the new low-cost airline is breaking the law by failing to offer passengers a basic fare that includes a carry-on and a checked bag.
Transportation agency rules state that domestic airlines must offer a basic fare for travel within the country that has no restrictions with ``reasonable baggage.''
Swoop's spokeswoman, Karen McIsaac, says Swoop provide travelers with "a la carte service" where they pay a low base fare and add on features such as a checked bag for a fee.
According to the website, carry-on luggage is about $35 if paid in advance, $50 at check-in and $80 at the gate.
