Duo packages

Exclusive to Transat, Duo packages offer the opportunity to discover two facets of a South destination in a single trip: lazing on the beach, coupled with the discovery of a city and its culture.

Sample itineraries include combining the rich culture and history of Havana with Varadero’s pristine beaches. Or in Colombia, mixing the vibrant, colourful streets of Cartagena with an escape to the tranquil island of Barú.

Winter in Europe

Transat now offers an enticing selection of short- and long-term packages in France (Lyon, Marseille, Paris), Portugal (Lisbon, Porto and Faro), Spain (Malaga) and the United Kingdom (London). Packages include flights, a choice of more than 150 hotels, transfers, excursions and more. Travellers can also opt for a la carte hotels to further personalize their stay and enjoy even more flexibility.

Option Flex

For ultimate flexibility, Transat offers two types of Option Flex for South and Europe packages:

With the Option Flex Standard, customers can cancel or change travel dates, destination, or hotel, and obtain a travel credit up to 72 hours before departure for a fee of $89. The Flex Extra Option, on the other hand, allows customers to cancel or change travel dates, destination, or hotel up to 24 hours before departure, and obtain a refund for a fee of $149. In both cases, it is also possible to transfer the package to a friend or family member up to 30 days before departure. Conditions apply.

Virtual brochures featuring Transat employees

Travel Counsellors can now discover all the details of Transat’s winter offer via its virtual brochures, which once again feature Transat’s very own staff members.

An attractive flight program for next winter

Air Transat recently unveiled an ambitious flight schedule for the winter season. It is expanding its offer by pursuing its strategy of annualizing its routes to the French provinces; Lyon and Marseille will now be operated year-round, and Nantes until mid-January. In addition, it’s significantly increasing its frequencies to South destinations.
