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.
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 just arrived in Montreal on September 13 and I benefited from this great advantage !! I had 36kg of luggage fortunately there was the additional 17kg free!
Nothing to say except thank you PVTistes.net for this good plan!
Arrival at the baggage check-in, I show my coupon, the hostess does not ask me for anything special, only an “Oh a PVTistes!” with a slight Quebec accent to give a little overview of what we will hear the next two years 🙂
One word: go for it! Easy to obtain, free, and above all hyper mega too useful !!
Hi Maryne 🙂
I am a little lost because several speeches concerning this offer ……
Is it absolutely essential that each suitcase weighs 23 kg or can I for example (having a very large suitcase) have a suitcase of 30 kg (or maybe a little more) and complete the rest to go up to the 46kg authorized with another suitcase?
Thanks to you 😉
Even if in my case, the offer only served me to add 5kg, it was very useful to me, because you see, I had a little trouble keeping everything in one suitcase.
in addition, the offer may be useful for the return because I will probably have additional things to bring back.
Regarding the passage to the airport, it went very well, you can travel quietly.
thank you pvtiste.net
the offer of 17 kg offered saved my life, otherwise my suitcase would have been much too heavy
Everything was perfect! I had no problems at the airport on my way there! 🙂 Thank you for this offer! It helps!
Great !! Thank you very much for this great plan!
Put a year in your suitcases, it is not obvious but it is already more with an additional 17 kg 🙂 THANK YOU
A very good plan! Air Transat is a low cost air operator but not too much: meals served on board and individual TV. Remember to take your headphones on the other hand. Thank you pvtistes!
Plan that worked wonderfully!
Thank you Pvtistes.net for this good plan and we hope that you will be able to develop others such as partnerships with banks or telephone companies!
Hi,
You did not go to consult our tips section: http://pvtistes.net/bonsplans/
🙂
Hi Mat, thank you for your message! Indeed, on my way there, I remembered having seen the good telecom plan but not for the Desjardins bank. I’m in Montreal and I just went around the banks and went to inquire at Fido for a package. Most banks offer newcomers free unlimited transactions the first year;) and for Fido for example, I have 2go and unlimited sms / calls in Canada (as well as texting internationally from Canada unlimited and free) on everything for $ 40.
If it can interest other Pvtistes;);)
Have a good day!
Charlotte.
Super good plan! Nothing to say ! Just hope that it works in the opposite direction to return! Thank you very much !
Super good plan! I recommend!
Just for information, if you plan to exceed 40kg in total, know that you should not exceed 23kg per piece of luggage to avoid paying the excess of 60 euros per piece of luggage. It can be useful for you to properly distribute your pounds!
I still wonder how I would have done without this super good plan of additional 17kgs … Combined with the very advantageous price of tickets on air transat and the fact that it invoices the additional suitcases with the number of suitcases and not with the weight !!! I who had 5 suitcases and nearly 100kgs of luggage the bill would have been salted on another company !! So big up at pvtiste.net for this super good plan !!
Just a tip for future migrants: register early !! The ground agents are more relaxed and so are you !! A kiss to all!
