About Air Transat

Air Transat, voted World's Best Leisure Airline at the 2025 Skytrax World Airline Awards for the seventh time, has been flying from the UK to Canada for over 37 years. You can fly direct from London Gatwick, Manchester, Glasgow, and Dublin to Toronto and from London Gatwick to Montreal, with onward connections available throughout Canada, thanks to a partnership with Porter Airlines.

Air Transat's modern fleet of aircraft includes the Airbus A330 and A321LR aircraft—some of the most energy-efficient aircraft in their category—on flights to Canada. With two cabin classes, Economy Class and Club Class, Air Transat's Premium Economy, you are assured of a comfortable and enjoyable inflight experience for your next holiday to Canada.

With a reputation for reliability, focus on customer service and value for money, Air Transat matches perfectly with our long standing reputation on the UK to Canada market.

In-Flight Entertainment

The in-flight entertainment changes each month, and includes recent movies, short programmes and a selection of audio channels. This selection is suitable for a wide range of age groups and interests, and offers entertainment options throughout your Canada flight.

On board your flight to Canada, you can also use hand-held games machines such as PSPs and Gameboys, as well as use laptop computers and listen to portable music systems such as iPods and portable CD players, as well as watching your own portable DVD players with headphones.

The crew will advise when these portable devices are not to be used (such as during take-off and landing) during your flight to Canada, and we would ask that the volume does not disturb surrounding passengers.

Our flight crews are dedicated to providing the very best of customer service at the start and end of your holiday to Canada. We like to know that you have enjoyed your flight, so on your return journey please take a few minutes and complete our comment card so that we can continue to achieve the highest standards.

Cashless onboard

Air Transat will only accept credit card for onboard transactions. Passengers on Canada flights will be required to use a credit card for all purchases, including snacks and beverages, duty free items, comfort kits, and so on.

This decision was made to enhance the customer experience, as it speeds up service and gives the cabin crew more time to spend with passengers. The initiative will also facilitate onboard transactions and provide better sales and inventory control, while allowing customers to conserve cash for other uses, such as ground transportation.

Going cashless makes sense in today's technology-friendly environment and has been deployed with great success on an increasing number of airlines. It should be noted that, unlike many other airlines, Air Transat offers complimentary food and beverages on most of our flights to Canada.

In addition, customers are encouraged to pre-order duty free via our website. These factors significantly reduce the risk of inconvenience for passengers not having a credit card onboard. Air Transat is working on alternative payment options for these special cases.
