Book my flight and get free baggage
IMPORTANT – To benefit from this offer, you must use the link on this page.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Thank you for the good Air Transat plan that I highly recommend.
I was able to check in almost 30 kg as checked baggage instead of 23 kg in normal times. You just need to buy your plane ticket via the pvtites.net site and get the coupon to present at the airport. No additional costs.

Thanks again to Matt and the pvtistes.net team who work for this website to exist. It helped me a lot before and during my pvt. Not all countries in the world that offer the possibility of a pvt are lucky enough to have this type of official website like this.

Super satisfied with this good plan. Everything worked well. Very helpful really happy that this was set up before I left. Nothing more to say about the company.
As I took the option more I was entitled to the addition of 17 kg (per PVTISTE) and 10 kg (option pus) it was really good.
The minus is that my spouse who accompanied me on this flight could not benefit from it. It would be nice to be able to extend it to the accompanying spouse, especially if the latter can attach himself to the work permit. But hey it still made us realize a sacred economy 🙂
Maybe it would be possible to have a couple “package”? Like 20 kg for 2? Do you think it can be negotiated?

Hello Julien, I read that the plus option and the 17 kg pvtistes offer could not be combined …
Did it work for you? Did Air Transat make any comments to you?

Thank you PVTistes.net and thank you Air Transat! Just like on the outward journey, I will be able to benefit from the free 17Kg when I return to France, even when I return after the end date of my WHP! Everything was settled very quickly and without incident! You are at the top! THANK YOU! 🙂

Hello,
From Quebec, the air transat agents do not even know what a PVT is, so a bit of a problem with boarding even with the supporting documents but in the end it was.
