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.

It can be used as many times as you wish during the validity of your IEC or study permit.

IMPORTANT – Air Transat will randomly select passengers and contact them by email for proof of eligibility when necessary. The extra luggage allowance will automatically be added to your booking once you have purchased your plane ticket. When you book your ticket, you won’t see the extra luggage allowance. You will receive a transaction receipt by email when the extra luggage allowance will be added by the Air Transat team.If you’re contacted, you will have to show proof of your port of entry (POE) letter, study permit or IEC permit. Otherwise, your extra luggage allowance will be cancelled.

Choose between two fare options

You will get an extra 23 kg luggage allowance at no charge, so you can fly with up to two pieces of checked luggage (23 kg max each).
ECO BUDGET TICKET

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).

ECO STANDARD TICKET

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).

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!

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!

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.

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 🙂

Super good plan thank you pvtiste.net? only one important point, well thought out to print the extra baggage coupon and do not be fooled at check in when they tell you that the free additional baggage has not existed for a few months. We had to insist a little bit so that finally she told us that exceptionally she accepted the additional baggage … But again thank you pvtiste for this good deal?

Super, the extra 23 kg. I received a confirmation email 7 days before my departure. No worries at check-in all went like clockwork. I thank the PVTistes.net site and all its team, without you I would never have succeeded in my expatriation in Quebec.

The plan worked perfectly! Purchase of the eco ticket and I was able to benefit from checked baggage, I had nothing to provide to the airport staff, everything was recorded in their files. The notice periods are a bit short, I had confirmation of the good plan 3 days before the but it must be due to the success of this partnership Pvtistes!
Thank you !

Thanks Fab!
It’s nice to know that everything went well and that you enjoyed this good plan.
It is so successful that depending on the period and the number of requests, the time between the response and the flight can be reduced, yes … but always in time for D-day ^^
Good stay and good future flights.

Thank you for this good plan which helps to prepare your luggage with a little more serenity.
Checking in was quick because everything was already in the system when I arrived at the airport.
Even better: the good plan is now unlimited!

Thank you for your testimony, Maryanne.
And yes, you can now benefit from the offer for the entire duration of your EIC or study permit, without a limited number of participations.
So, look forward to sharing it with you again. Have a good stay. 🙂
