09-25-2018 3:30 pm

Air Transat is standardizing its Eco Fares for its transatlantic, South, Canadian and US destinations. In order to align its flexibility conditions with those of the airline industry, Air Transat has revised its lowest‑priced fare, Eco Budget, which will no longer include a free checked bag or the possibility to make changes or cancellations.

Passengers booking an Eco Budget as of Oct. 2, 2018, for flights as of Apr. 1, 2019, will be charged a fee for their first piece of checked baggage of 23 kg (for Europe) or 30 kg (for Israel).

New Eco Fare conditions

The Eco Fares are a family of fares that allow, among other things, the flexibility to change or cancel a flight for free or for a nominal fee. They’re designed so passengers will only pay for the services they actually need. Below is an overview of the new Eco Fare conditions.

Eco Budget The lowest fare	No changes or cancellations No checked bag included
Eco Standard The best value	Changes and cancellations with fees One checked bag included Free standard seat selection
Eco Flex The fare with the most flexibility	Changes and cancellations for free Two checked bags included Priority services at the airport Any seat selection, based on availability
