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 (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?
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. This offer cannot be combined with any other promotion or promo code.

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
Thank you Mathieu. I don’t really know because a friend had to show it. For that “who can the most can the least”;) But thank you for the info in any case
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. 🙂
Hello,
This offer is just amazing. I used it 3 times (thank you unlimited :)), and no problem, no additional steps, everything is pre-recorded there is more than.
Thank you for this super good plan.
Thanks to you, Um.
Wishing you to continue to enjoy your stay as well as the good plan. 🙂
Super service and especially super follow-up of Caro in the forum for specific questions;) Really great !!!
Good to know :
a round trip with the same file number = 1 request and the offer will be applied on the 2 trips
2 people with the same file number = 2 requests, one for each because we must provide a copy of a document (PVT or LI for example).
Thank you for everything !
Hey! Thank you very much Elodie! It’s nice to read that. 🙂 It’s really nice to have included me in your thanks.
And nickel the little topo. 😉
Happy travels to both of you. I wish you the rest of your stay to be fun and enjoyable.
Something tells me that there will also be other requests by May 2020 so … see you soon for other baggage bonuses. ^^
Hello, the offer is not valid when you take a ticket including 2 checked baggage. To be careful because I got caught. I wanted to travel with 3 suitcases so I bought a more expensive ticket with 2 suitcases included except that my request was refused because I already had 2 suitcases included in my ticket !!! Amount of the 3rd suitcase by Air-transat: 160 € … yes, it stings !!!! To know, I would have taken 1 cheaper ticket with 1 suitcase + free luggage …
Hello Emilie,
I’m sorry for you but it was easy for you to know it and not to make this mistake.
If you had read this page, you would have seen that the good plan allows you to leave with a maximum of 2 checked bags in total. No addition of option or supplement authorized (only the selection of the non-optional seat is accepted).
It is noted in the intro and in the FAQ / frequently asked questions.
You remain eligible for the right plan throughout the validity period of your license. Without limit number of participations. Looking forward to sharing it with you in the future.
If you had taken the time to correctly read the good plan like thousands of people would you have known?
Sorry but I can read and reread the explanations, I can’t find the place where the information is specified.
I did not read the FAQ before because I had no doubts before taking my ticket and I was convinced that I was concerned by the offer. I thought we should read the FAQ only when we had questions … which was not my case because the explanations were clear.
Know Mathieu that I have been a member of this application for some time and rather sharp then your comment was not necessary !!!
Hello Emilie,
On the page above, we wrote this:
“Can I travel with more than 2 pieces of luggage?
No. This offer allows maximum travel with 2 suitcases of 23 kg. “.
It is complicated for Air Transat to have too many passengers with 3 pieces of luggage so if they authorized PVTists to have 3 pieces of luggage, the right plan could no longer exist.
For Mathieu’s remark, I admit that we are trying to make our good plans as clear as possible so that you are all satisfied, so it is a little tricky for us to read that you have been “tricked” . In any case you can take advantage of the offer when you return 🙂
Did you take the plus option or did you add luggage to your flight? We would also like to take three pieces of luggage per person
Very good airline, no complaints! On departure from Paris, the flight went well, individual screens, meal no good either, but correct. Regarding luggage, respect the 23kg distributed in suitcases or bags, otherwise you will have to open your suitcase at the airport to rebalance your 46kg. Once in Canada, customs clearance can be long, don’t worry about your luggage, Air Transat is used to it and takes care of putting it aside.
Good flight to all! and good stay;)
Thank you Romain for your testimony and advice.
Enjoy your stay in Canada. 🙂
Perfect !
Thank you Doudou! 🙂
