Traveling with peace of mind 

Subject to changes in demand and travel restrictions, Transat may have to modify its flight schedule. However, to reassure its travelers, it is offering them even more flexible booking options.  That is why it is extending its Book with peace of mind offer, applicable to all new flight bookings, until August 31, 2020. This offer allows passengers to change their travel dates or destination—or both—at no charge up to 24 hours before departure. In the event of a cancellation, they will obtain a travel credit that will be fully transferable and have no expiry date. The Here Comes the Sun Promo also includes extra flexibility on new bookings of South packages made by September 11, 2020. It features perks like Transat’s Price Drop Guarantee, a reduced deposit of only $100, and Option Flex, which allows travelers to cancel or change their booking at no charge or to transfer their package to a friend or family member. And since passenger safety remains Transat’s top priority, it will continue to apply the strict health and safety measures of its Traveller Care program at check-in, during boarding, onboard and at the destination. In addition, a practical guide for travelers containing all the information they need has been created to accompany them at every step of their trip. 

Greener flights 

Air Transat continues the transformation of its fleet and strengthens its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint by integrating two new Airbus A321neoLRs, the greenest in their class. It plans to add three more by next spring, bringing the total number of this generation of aircraft in its fleet to nine.
