A modern cabin with comfortable seats on the iconic Airbus A321LR

Air Transat review Club Class expérience en vol

On most of Air Transat’s transatlantic flights, you’ll fly on an Airbus A321LR, a modern aircraft that offers comfort and innovation. Wherever you sit on board, you’ll experience the modernity of the cabin. From the lighting, which is ideal for reducing the effects of jet lag, to the noise, which has been reduced by 50% compared to the previous generation of aircraft, everything has been designed with your comfort in mind.

In Club Class, you’ll enjoy a range of benefits to help you return from your holiday in Canada refreshed, including your own 12-seat exclusiv cabin with generous legroom and reclining seats with six-way headrest and footrest.

Even in Economy Class, our seats offer more space than the industry average.

In both cabins, each seat is equipped with an individual touch screen for your in-flight entertainment (including a handpicked selection of Canadian films and TV shows), as well as charging points to keep you connected throughout your journey.

Psst! Your Economy Class ticket may be eligible for an instant upgrade to Club Class when you check in online. Find out more here.

Option Plus

Option Plus gives you even more privileges and services in Air Transat Economy Class. Treat yourself to seat selection, priority boarding and one piece of checked baggage included with priority handling. On board the flight, you’ll receive a comfort kit (which contains a blanket and a sleeping mask), earbuds, an alcoholic beverage and a snack.

A generous checked and carry-on baggage allowance

Air Transat is proud to offer one of the most generous baggage policies among Canadian airlines, allowing all passengers to bring one personal item and one carry-on baggage item in any fare class.

Then, depending on your fare class, you may also qualify for a checked baggage allowance—a feature designed to give you more flexibility and convenience when travelling.

Of course, checked baggage is always included in Club Class and Option Plus.

Food is an integral part of the travel experience. That’s why on all our Air Transat transatlantic flights, we serve free meals that cater to a wide range of tastes. In Club Class, you’ll enjoy an exclusive selection of six gourmet meals, snacks, wine or soft drinks, no matter what time of day you’re flying. In Economy Class you can choose between two hot meals, each accompanied by a salad, a sweet snack and a glass of wine or soft drink.

US and South travel tip: bite into Bistro! Check our online Bistro menu a few days before your departure and pre-order your meal. You’ll be sure to get the dish of your choice and save up to 19% off the retail price. An ideal option if you have dietary restrictions or allergies. And if you’re travelling with little ones, you can even pre-order a children’s bento box. This is what the Air Transat in-flight experience is about!

On board each flight, we have eliminated sticks, straws and all plastic coffee utensils and are gradually replacing them with more environmentally friendly options.
