Improvements to Air Transat’s Eco Fares
Airlines & Airports Brian Simpson November 01, 2017

Air Transat has made improvements to its Eco Fares - Eco, Eco Extra and Eco Max- with the main improvements being the inclusion of standard seat selection in Eco Extra and Eco Max. Eco Max also boasts new benefits, such as an additional piece of checked baggage and priority airport services.
Change or cancellation fees have also been revised for some fares with cancellation penalties for passengers who book an Eco Max fare cut in half for flights to or from Europe. The cancellation penalty will now be $50 CA instead of $100 CA. The Eco Fares offer varying conditions, with the most flexible, Eco Max, allowing passengers to modify their travel dates, paying only a difference in fare but no change free..
“Since their launch, Eco Fares have been very popular with our passengers, who can choose the level of flexibility that’s right for them,” says Annick Guérard, chief operating officer of Transat. “That’s why we wanted to improve this offer, particularly by modifying certain fees and offering even more benefits. Each traveller is unique, and the new and improved Eco Fares will more accurately respond to their specific needs.”
Air Transat’s Eco fares allow passengers to choose their desired level of flexibility as each Eco Fare comes with its own inclusions and benefits.
- Eco, the lowest rate with limited flexibility, allows certain changes to be made for a fee.
- Eco Extra offers greater flexibility than Eco and some extras, such as standard seat selection.
- Eco Max is the most flexibile rate with extras such as an additional piece of checked baggage and priority airport services.
Passengers who also choose Option Plus will be treated to even more benefits in Economy Class, such as seat selection, priority check-in at a dedicated counter, additional checked baggage allowance, priority boarding and baggage handling, as well as special on-board perks for optimal comfort.
