Air 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 (only to and from countries where the national currency is the euro or the Canadian dollar. For example, flights from the United Kingdom are not eligible for the offer).
Flights from/to the French West Indies are not eligible for the offer.
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?

I recommend this good plan without any hesitation!
Traveling with my baby, this extra baggage really helped me.
Everything went really well at the airport!
Reliable and efficient.
Thank you for this good plan. These 23 kg extra after 2 years in Canada is always more memories to bring back;)) At the airport no need to show the coupon, everything was pre-registered but as several post says it is better to print it. …
Do you know if you have to book the return too or it only works for one way
Perfect ! Fast and effective ! Even at the airport, they asked me nothing, everything was ok! Thank you PVTistes! Hope it lasts ..! : D
Did you get an answer when after the request?
Very quickly. I think two days max after it was good for me 🙂
Super website particularly complete for pvtistes. Not only was it a great help in preparing for my departure for Canada (Montreal) but it also saved me some hold baggage thanks to their partnership with Air Transat. My luggage was included when I arrived at the airport so all that was left was to weigh it and check it in. Don’t change anything guys !! I recommend. Thank Pvtistes.net
Hey! Thank you Bastien for this very nice comment. The team (the guys … but also the girls, will appreciate;)). Hope to help you that you take advantage of this good plan again. Enjoy your stay in Canada.
Really great!! I followed the steps you describe to the letter and I got the coupon within 48 hours. Super responsive and free. It’s really great.
This PVTistes site has helped me enormously in all my efforts and still helps me. Super well done. A very big thank you! Continue like that.
Thank you very much Pauline for your testimony. It is a pleasure. ^^
Enjoy your stay in Canada. See you soon on the forum to help you with your adaptations to Canadian life and to make you enjoy the good plan again during your license.
Perfect offer and no headache. I had nothing to show at the airport and I was able to check my backpack in the hold without worry 🙂 I can only recommend because it allows to make interesting savings on the plane ticket, not negligible to finance such an adventure. Thank you PVTistes!
Thank you very much Claire for your testimony! It’s nice to see that you enjoyed this good plan.
Hope to share it with you again for the duration of your license.
Good stay and good discovery of Montreal and Canada. 🙂
I benefited from the Air Transat good plan on May 7 for a Paris-Vancouver flight with a stopover in Montreal. Everything went very well. I received the coupon two weeks before my departure. I had a reservation not including any baggage, so I benefited from one bag of 23kg for free. I did not need to present the proof, everything was already recorded. Super offer!
Thank you Caelia for your testimony. 🙂
It’s nice to have been able to help you by offering you the transport of your luggage.
Good discovery of Vancouver and its surroundings and good stay in Canada.
See you soon to enjoy it again.
The offer is very useful when you want to move to Canada for a little while. However, print the paper indicating this second free baggage anyway, because at London airport they did not seem to be informed at the counter.
However, is it possible to use this offer for internal flights within Canada (ex: Toronto-Vancouver)?
Hello Vérane,
It’s amazing because the bonus is pre-added to the reservation. But yes, it is better to have the coupon even on his phone, just in case.
Thank you for your testimony anyway. We passed on the information.
As for internal flights, only the right plan does not apply.
The offer only applies to reservations for a transatlantic flight. The only exception is when the reservation for a transatlantic flight includes a connection with a domestic flight. There, domestic flight is also the subject of the bonus.
Have a good stay. Hope to share it with you again during the validity of your license.
Super offer, thank you pvtistes.net!
It’s nice, Sébastien. 🙂
Good stay in Vancouver and good PVT Canada.
I received the coupon without worries and checked in without problems either. I was not asked for a coupon, probably a stroke of luck. Always is) it is better to have it and that this good plan PVTistes is a Must Have to expatriate a good end! Thank you
Hello Marine,
You do not need to show the coupon because when you have been accepted Air Transat added the information directly to your reservation 🙂
