EnglishAir Transat and pvtistes.net has teamed up for a special offer applicable on flights to and from Canada—an extra 23 kg luggage allowance at no charge.
In other words, Air Transat will carry a piece of checked luggage at no cost. Note that you won’t get a refund on any luggage fees charged, this offer only gives eligible passengers the opportunity to travel with an extra piece of luggage at no additional cost.
You can take advantage of this special offer as many times as you wish for the entire duration of your study or work permit.
Who can benefit from this special offer on Air Transat flights?
To be eligible, passengers must hold one of the following:
- An International Experience Canada (IEC) permit (Working Holiday, Young Professionals or International Co-op permit); or
- A study permit.
- A valid employer-specific work permit.
- A valid spousal work permit.
If you are traveling with your spouse, who does not yet have a work permit, they are also eligible for the offer, provided that they are traveling on the same dates as you and that the tickets are purchased in the same booking. On the day of your trip, make sure to have proof of your relationship.
The immediate relatives of qualifying visa holders (father, mother, siblings) are also eligible for the offer, if they travel together on the same booking.
If you are travelling with your child, you can reserve his or her ticket at the same time as yours. However, he or she would not be eligible for the special offer by Air Transat and pvtistes.net.
This special offer applies to flights from Europe to Canada and flights from Canada to Europe.
It can be used as many times as you wish during the validity of your IEC or study permit.
Choose between two fare options
If you buy an ECO BUDGET ticket (no checked luggage included), this special offer will allow you to add ONE PIECE OF CHECKED LUGGAGE at no extra charge.
Travelling with two pieces of luggage? No worries, you can add a second piece of checked luggage at a later date for a fee and fly with up to two pieces of checked luggage in total (23 kg max each).
If you buy an ECO STANDARD ticket, a piece of checked luggage is already included in the price. This special offer will allow you to add another piece of checked luggage at no extra charge, so you’ll be able to travel with TWO PIECES OF CHECKED LUGGAGE in total (23 kg max each).
How can I benefit from this special offer when booking my ticket with Air Transat?
IMPORTANT – To get one free piece of checked baggage of 23 kg, use the search engine dedicated to pvtistes.net
The (not so) fine print for the Air Transat offer
- Maximum allowance per passenger is two pieces of checked luggage, 23 kg each. Adding a third piece of luggage is not possible with these fares.
- Maximum weight for each piece of checked luggage is 23 kg. Height + width + length must not exceed 158 cm (62 in).
- Each passenger is entitled to board with one piece of hand luggage and one personal item which are both subject to size restrictions. Maximum dimensions for your carry-on are 23 × 40 × 51 cm (9 × 16 × 20 in). Read Air Transat’s baggage allowance for more details.
- Special items (e.g. sporting equipment, music instruments) are not included in this special offer.
- The offer can’t be applied to transport of pets in the checked baggage hold. However, you can apply it to a regular piece of checked luggage and pay a separate fee to travel with your pet. For more info, read Pets and assistance dogs.
- Seat selection and gourmet meals are available with this special offer.
- Please note that this offer cannot be applied to codeshare flights (where one of the flight segments is operated by another airline partner), to "connectair by Air Transat" flights or to routes involving a train "Train + Air" segment.

Hello,
Today I am trying to book my plane ticket to Montreal via the link provided to us on the PVTistes.net site in order to benefit from the additional 17kilos with AirTransat.
However, once on the site, impossible to click on the link “book this flight” and go further.
We tried on different computers, same observation.
HELP!
Yes, many of us have the same problem … this is a site bug! I sent an email to customer service hope this is resolved quickly!
I also informed Air Transat, I will keep you informed as soon as the problem is corrected.
Thank you!
Impatient that the situation is released.
I had this bug and I found the solution, in fact it is enough to use internet explorer and when you will be on the site you will see at the top of the browser next to the url of the site a small button which looks like a torn file, you must click on it to activate the compatibility display
The link works again, all to your keyboards!
As far as we are concerned .. Tickets reserved!
Thank you 🙂
So I’m going to ask a friend ^^, thanks anyway 🙂
Hi,
Is it possible to book the ticket plus the 17 kg free with the Belgian version of the air transat site, because I do not have a visa card and on the Belgian version of the site, you can pay via “Bancontact” (system debit card payment)?
Or when I click on the button “Book and take advantage of 17 additional kilos offered” and it sends me to the French site of air transat, I can change the version of the site, but will they always keep track of fact that I am entitled to a coupon for the 17 kg?
Thank you !!
Hello Jean,
Unfortunately to have the offer you have to use the link to which we refer otherwise you will not have the additional 17 kilos free. Can’t you ask a friend or your parents to use their visa card and will you reimburse them? It’s a really interesting economy;)
Hello Mathieu,
I have been trying to book my ticket for several hours but it hangs at the same stage, I choose the day and when I click on the button “book this flight” nothing happens. I tried several times, on several browsers (chrome, firefox, IExplorer), I restarted my pc, empty the history and cookies, but still nothing …
I hope this is a temporary site bug 🙁
Try to deactivate your antivirus or anti ad perhaps? it works well, i just tested 🙂
It still does not work ! Even my girlfriend with her mac (and by deactivating everything) does not succeed, the Belgian site does not have the same bug, on the other hand the French version blocks each time in the same place, what do I do?
And there would be no way that I reserve with the Belgian site of air transat and then communicate the file number and the day of the flight to the team of air transat (France) which manages this offer?
I just reported the technical problem to Air Transat, you are indeed right, there is a problem! I’ll keep you posted as soon as this is fixed.
Thank you very much ! I was slowly starting to forget the offer and think about the more paying option …
I was able to book the flight with internet explorer ^^ thanks to Thibault’s tip!
I just attached the file number and the date 🙂 and since I’m leaving in less than 10 days, I should have the coupons soon, right? Thank you anyway 🙂
Hi,
Small question, I made my reservation on AirTransat through PVTistes. After entering my information and clicking on the verification, I am sent to the AirTransat homepage. Has my request for the 17kg coupon been counted?
PS: I think I saw a message similar to mine, if it is the case, sorry for the redundancy.
Thank you !!
Hi Daniel,
Sorry for my late reply, I missed your message.
Once the verification has been carried out, click on the “Reservation” button. This is a tracked link that lets Air Transat know that you have just come from PVTistes.net in order to send you the coupon for the additional 17 kilos.
Hey Mat,
Thank you for your answer.
Oh, I don’t remember if I went to Air Transat via the reservation button with Pvtistes after the verification: s but I don’t think so. Have it fucked up for me?
Unfortunately yes, this is the only way that Air Transat can see that you are coming from PVTistes.net 🙁
Hello,
I just received my e-ticket from air transat, but I did not receive the voucher for the additional 17 kilos, even though I had followed the above procedure. Damn…
Is there a solution to benefit from this offer?
Have a good day
Rémi
Hello Rémi,
The coupon is sent separately 21 days before departure. Did you go through the verification?
Yes I went through the verification. The thing is that my departure is scheduled for March 3 which is less than 21 days now. Will I still be able to benefit from the coupon?
Thank you for your super fast response;)
Yes there is no reason why you should not take advantage of the offer;)
It’s just that we have just implemented a new procedure, it takes a little time for us to communicate the information to Air Transat but they are very responsive so it should be fine.
Ok awesome! Bravo for all the advice and good plans!
Again thank you mat!
Air Transat saw your message on the site, they have just informed me that you will receive your coupon very quickly;)
Thank you very much Mat, I received everything this morning. Thank you for your help 🙂
Hello,
I would like to book a ticket from Montreal – Paris via the pvtistes.net site to benefit from the additional 17 kg. But the problem I have is that it’s departures from France. So can I take an AR from Paris and only take the return to Montreal to return to Paris?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Frederick
This offer is not yet available in this sense but we are trying to make it available very soon.
Thank you for your response Mathieu!
Do you have any idea what “soon” means? I’m waiting to take my ticket based on that …
Hello,
Thanks again for your help, we had no problem getting the extra 17 kilos!
Regards Laura
Hello,
When I received my acceptance letter (in January), I went through pvtistes.net to benefit from the additional 17kg but I was directly redirected to the Air Transat website to make my reservation without being told request to fill out any form or send a copy of my letter.
Today, I see that it is the case but my flight is already booked …
I am only leaving in September 2014 so I have not yet received anything as a coupon or other but I wonder if I could benefit from this advantage or not …?
Thank you to enlighten me 🙂
Hi Julie,
You can go through the verification and you will have access to the additional 17 kilos free: http://pvtistes.net/verification-bon-plan-air-transat/#verification-form
Thank you Mathieu.
I hope it will work (since the letter was sent after purchasing the ticket) …
we’ll see that at the end of August;)
Heuuu …
I cannot access the verification …: s
I returned my data thinking that it will open a form to complete but in fact not.
So I have 2 identical encoded flights but I still do not access the boxes to fill in for the flight number and departure date …
How do I go about it? Is this a site bug and should I wait?
Thank you for your answer and sorry if I missed something completely obvious: s
It should be good now, please try again 🙂
Nope … still not …
The connection here is rotten, I will try from another computer this we;)
Thank you for your interest!
I was able to send my data via another computer .. my fingers crossed 🙂
Thank you for your precious help!
Hello, I went through your site to take the ticket at air transat, but I could not benefit from the additional 17 kg, the delay may be for something (ticket bought on 01/21 for a departure on the 28 / 01) So I had to pay the 60 euros. question, can I get a refund? and if not since I took my return ticket at the same time, will the 17kg be able to apply to it?
Thank you!
Hello Julien,
Can you send me your information by private messaging please.
Hi Mat!
Thank you again for the help, in the end everything went very well at the airport and I was able to benefit from the additional 17kgs so once again a big thank you for this good plan and the investment that you put in share it with me (I was sure I went well with pvtistes.net though…)
In short everything ends for the better 🙂
See you soon: D !!!
