Transat Unveils Enhanced Packages For Winter 2023-2024

Transat has released an enhanced selection of packages for the 2023-2024 winter season.

The tour operator offers an extensive range of options, including one checked baggage, to suit the desires and budgets of every traveller on programs to Mexico, South America, Central America, the Caribbean and Europe.

For those looking for a tropical getaway in the South, they can choose from over 370 hotels, including some 50 new additions, with departures from eight Canadian cities.

For those headed to Europe, they can choose from 150 hotels in Spain, France, Portugal and the United Kingdom.

Joseph Adamo, Transat’s Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, said: “We are reaffirming our position as a leader in Canada with this unrivalled range of packages for the winter season, with a choice of more than 500 hotels on three continents. We take great pride in offering a travel experience that combines our expertise as an airline with our substantial know-how as a tour operator.”

To help travellers choose the hotel that best suits their needs, Transat also offers five exclusive collections with customized perks.

• Luxury Collection — 36 hotels, including 7 additions, for the crème de la crème of tropical vacations, each property more chic than the last.
• Family Collection — 47 hotels, including 9 additions, for a hassle-free family travel experience and a ton of kid-friendly activities.
• R&R 18+ Collection — 10 adults-only hotels, including 2 additions, with wellness facilities for a relaxing break far from routine and stress.
• Solo Collection — 44 hotels, including 8 additions, where travellers pay no single supplement and enjoy complete freedom.
• Out of Office Collection — 13 hotels to work remotely from the beach.

Transat’s ‘Book Early, Get Plenty’ promotion allows Canadian travellers to start planning their winter vacation right away, with the range of perks including:

• Up to $400 off for two people
• Price Drop Guarantee up to $200/adult and $100/child
• Reduced deposit of $100/person
• Future travel credit of $50/adult and $25/child
• 50% off Option Flex Standard

The promotion applies to new individual bookings of Transat South packages made by June 29, 2023, for travel between Sept. 1, 2023, and April 30, 2024. Exceptions apply.

Exclusive to Transat, Duo packages are an innovative way to rethink vacations. They 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.

In Cuba, travellers can discover Havana’s rich culture and fascinating history, then relax on Varadero’s pristine beaches. In Colombia, take a stroll through the colourful streets of Cartagena, then escape to the tranquil island of Barú.

More committed than ever to helping Canadian travellers discover Europe year-round, Transat now offers a selection of short- and long-term packages in France (Lyon, Marseille, Paris), Portugal (Lisbon, Porto and Faro), Spain (Malaga) and the United Kingdom (London). These packages include flights, a choice of more than 150 hotels, transfers, excursions and much more. Travellers can also opt for a la carte hotels to further personalize their stay and enjoy even more flexibility.

For the ultimate level of 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.

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.

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.
