Air Transat often offers great low-cost fares between Europe and Canada and the Caribbean and Canada. Especially on routes from Portugal, France and the UK, it is often the cheapest airline.
When to buy tickets
You can buy tickets on the official airtransat.com website. However, on many routes Air Transat flies in competition with other airlines, so it's worth using comparison sites like skyscanner.com.
The cheapest tickets are usually available with a large lead time of 4-8 months.
Fare classes
Both economy and business class (called "Club") are available on Air Transat aircraft.
The different classes are further divided into fare groups, which are graded according to the services offered or the number of bags.
Air Transat destinations
Air Transat's main specialty is flying from many Canadian airports to the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America and Florida.
