Air Transat no longer accepts cash for onboard transactions. Passengers will be required to use a credit card for all their purchases, such as snacks and beverages, duty free items, comfort kits, and so on. Please note prepaid credit cards are not accepted.
This decision was made to enhance the customer experience, as it will speed up service and give the cabin crew more time to spend with our passengers. 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 routes. 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.
