Air Transat ‘Standardises’ Its Economy Class Fares

Air Transat, named the 2018 World’s Best Leisure Airline at the Skytrax World Airline Awards and which operates direct services to Canada from Dublin, is standardising its Eco Fares for its transatlantic destinations

In order to align its flexibility conditions with those of the airline industry, Air Transat has revised its lowest‑priced fare, Eco Budget, which will no longer include a free checked bag or the possibility to make changes or cancellations.

Passengers booking an Eco Budget as of October 2, 2018, for flights as of April 1, 2019, will be charged a fee for their first piece of checked baggage of 23 kg.

The Eco Fares are a range of fare classes that allow, among other things, the flexibility to change or cancel a flight for free or for a nominal fee. They’re designed so passengers will only pay for the services they actually need. Below is an overview of the new Eco Fare conditions.

Travellers can now save up to 20 per cent on airport check-in fees by paying in advance online.

While the Eco Fares include the flexibility for passengers to change or cancel their flight, other options exist to provide the best on-board experience possible. Air Transat’s Club Class exclusive 12-seat cabin combines exceptional personalised service with flexibility. It continues to offer passengers a most pleasant and comfortable inflight experience, in addition to complimentary seat selection, a generous checked baggage allowance, more space on board, as well as priority check-in, boarding and baggage handling.

Many perks await Club Class passengers on board, such as an exclusive Comfort Kit, a welcome cocktail, a wide selection of quality wines, beverages and snacks, as well as delicious gourmet dishes from the Chef’s Menu by Daniel Vézina.

Also, passengers who opt for Option Plus will be treated to more benefits in Economy Class, such as a checked bag free of charge, complimentary seat selection, priority check-in at a dedicated counter, priority boarding and baggage handling, as well as special on-board perks for optimal comfort.
