Air Transat Introduces Baggage Fees for Lowest Fare Classes

The airline's new policy limits free baggage allowances on domestic and select international flights to align with industry trends.

  • Starting Tuesday, Air Transat's Eco Budget and Eco Promo fare classes will no longer include free carry-on baggage, allowing only one small personal item such as a handbag or backpack.
  • Checked baggage fees for these fare classes will range between $35 and $50, depending on the route, for flights within Canada, the U.S., and South America.
  • The Eco Standard fare class will now allow one carry-on bag and one personal item, but checked baggage will incur fees, a departure from the previous policy of one free checked bag.
  • Flights to Europe, Morocco, Peru, and all-inclusive packages are exempt from these changes, maintaining their existing baggage policies.
  • Air Transat states the changes are intended to offer more competitive fares, align with industry practices, and allow travelers to pay only for the services they require.
