PRICES 
Prices indicated on www.transat.com website for the Services are set based upon the prices of suppliers, exchange rates, fuel costs, taxes and other fees. The www.transat.com website is updated several times a day and prices displayed are likely to change according to these updates. The applicable price is the price in effect at the time of registration for the relevant Services and is confirmed to the Customer before his final acceptance. Unless otherwise indicated, all prices are quoted in Canadian dollars (CAD) on a per person basis on double occupancy, and include the applicable retail provincial sales tax, the federal goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax (HST), governmental and airport fees and duties, local airport taxes at destination, tourist card fees and administration fees. Some local taxes and facility fees are not included.

For Québec residents, please note that no contribution to the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents (FICAV) will be charged for travel services purchased in 2024. You will see the contribution amount on your invoice, followed by a corresponding refund. All prices are in Canadian dollars.

The prices of Packages and Tours posted on www.transat.com website may increase due to the unavailability of seats in this particular fare category or further to the imposition of a surcharge by the air carrier. Any price reductions resulting from a promotion or a decision by Transat are applicable to new bookings only. Transat also reserves its right to refuse any booking made at an erroneous price. For Services booked through a travel agent licensed in Québec, prices may only be increased in the event of the imposition of the carrier’s surcharges or an increase in the exchange rate, insofar as the exchange rate applicable 45 days before the date on which the Services are provided has increased by more than 5% since the date of the reservation. If the increase, without taking into account any increase in the Québec sales tax or the federal goods and services tax, is equal to or greater than 7% of the price of the Services, the Customer may choose between full and immediate reimbursement of the Services or the provision of similar services of the same price, otherwise the difference in price shall be borne by the Customer. No price increase may occur within 30 days preceding the date on which the Services are to be provided.
For Services booked through an Ontario-registered travel agency, the total price of the Services may be increased except if paid in full. If the cumulative increase, without taking into account any increase in the retail sales tax or the federal goods and services tax, is more than 7%, the Customer has the right to cancel the booking and obtain a full refund of the Services or opt for comparable alternate Services acceptable to the Customer, as long as the price of the alternate Services corresponds to the price of the original Services, otherwise the difference in price shall be borne by the Customer.

The price of Services does not include insurance, Customer’s personal expenses, tips, telecommunications costs or any other additional services or activities that are not specifically described.

DEPOSIT AND TERMS OF PAYMENT 
Any reservation of Services made 45 days or more prior to the departure date must be accompanied by a deposit. See the “Deposit, and change and cancellation fees” grid at the end of these terms and conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, final payment must be made no later than 45 days prior to the departure date. Reservations made 45 days or less before the departure date must be accompanied by payment in full. Final payment dates may vary for À La Carte Accommodations, groups and promotional fares. Please inquire at the time of booking.
If final payment is not received within the required period, Transat reserves the right to cancel any such reservation, in whole or in part, without prior notice and without recourse by the Customer, and charge the applicable cancellation fees indicated at the end of these terms and conditions.
Electronic tickets and other travel documents will be issued only if full payment for the Services has been received. It is the responsibility of the Customer and of the travel agent to ensure that the information shown on all travel documents is accurate and in accordance with the reservation.

PAYMENT OF SERVICES 
By providing a credit card number verbally or in writing, the Customer undertakes to respect these terms and conditions and authorizes, as the case may be, the payment of the deposit and the purchase of Services. Once a credit card number is provided to Transat to guarantee a reservation, the travel agent becomes responsible for the payment of the Services and must keep a signed copy of the Customer’s authorization on file.

Transat reserves the right to cancel any reservation, in whole or in part, without prior notice and without recourse by the Customer if payment is not honored.

PROMOTIONS 
“SAVE ALL SEASON LONG” promotion applies to the price of a Tour advertised on www.transat.com. When booked and paid at least 60 days before departure, the Customer saves $250 per person (on an adult rate). This offer is valid for travel between November 1^st, 2024 and October 31, 2025 and the $250 per person discount is already included in the price posted on www.transat.com. 

This promotion, as well as any other one-time promotions which may be announced by Transat during the season, are valid for new bookings only, may not be combined, apply only to the Services described on www.transat.com and are subject to any applicable restrictions. Transat reserves the right to modify the conditions or withdraw any promotion at any time without notice.

FLIGHTS AND OTHER AIR, SEA AND GROUND TRANSPORTATION 
Unless otherwise indicated, all flights are operated by Air Transat A. T. inc.. 
Changes: Flights offered by Transat are conducted in accordance with the applicable tariff of the air carrier and pursuant to regulations set out by the Canadian Transportation Agency. All such flights and tariffs are also subject to approval by the relevant government authorities. Flight consolidations and changes in the published schedules, aircraft type, days of operation, air carrier providing air travel and flight itineraries may be undertaken at any time and without prior notice, in accordance with the air carrier’s tariff.
Flight schedules and connecting flights: Flight times, even as they appear on airline tickets, are subject to change due to various circumstances over which the air carrier or Transat has no control. The Customer who has purchased a Package, Tour or flight with Transat is entirely responsible for verifying the time of his flight with the air carrier (or Transat’s representative at destination) within the 24-hour period preceding the outbound and return flights. Transat undertakes to notify Customers reasonably in advance, through means it deems appropriate, of any schedule changes resulting in the advancement or delay of flight departure times or in the case of a flight cancellation. Customers with connecting flights have the responsibility to allow themselves sufficient time to make their connections. And Transat will not be liable for any missed flight connection.  
Airport check-in: We recommend that Customers arrive at the airport check-in counter at least three (3) hours prior to departure in order to allow sufficient time to obtain their boarding pass and register their baggage. Air Transat check-in counters generally close one (1) hour prior to the time of departure, therefore Customers arriving after that time may be denied boarding. Customers must also be at the boarding gate at the specified time, failing which their seat may be re-assigned to another passenger and their reservation may be cancelled, with no right of recourse or refund.
Seat assignment: Unless pre-assigned, aircraft seating is conducted by personnel at the air carrier’s check-in counter. In the event of the loss or unavailability of confirmed Club Class seats with Air Transat (or similar upgrade with another air carrier) due to a change of air carrier, aircraft type or flight consolidation, the refund by Transat of the amount paid for Club Class service or similar upgrade shall be deemed a complete and final settlement of all recourses in this matter.
Baggage: Air carriers have individual rules and regulations with respect to the number of bags allowed, weight and dimensions, therefore it is advisable for the Customer to inquire with his travel agent or the air carrier to know the applicable restrictions. Furthermore, the checked baggage allowance granted by air carriers may also vary depending on the city of departure or return of a flight. Please note that baggage is transported, stored and handled at Customer’s risk at all times. 
Prohibited items in checked or carry-on baggage: We recommend that Customers consult the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority’s website (www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca) prior to travel to determine if any restrictions apply to items contained in their checked baggage or carried on their person.
Animals: The Customer is advised to consult the air carrier to ensure that it meets the requirements of governmental authorities for the transportation and importation of animals abroad. Transportation of the animal may be refused if these requirements are not met. Fees are non-refundable. The Customer may consult the travel information section on the Air Transat website.
Other applicable conditions and limitation of liability of the air carrier: Air transport conditions and claims relating to the loss of, or damage to baggage are governed by the Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention, as the case may be, the applicable tariff of the air carrier and the conditions of contract appearing on the airline ticket, boarding pass and baggage check and are subject to any governmental regulations that establish the limits of liability of the air carrier. Once filed with and approved by the federal regulatory authorities, any amendments or changes in the general terms and conditions of carriage of the concerned air carrier are immediately applicable without additional public notice and are legally binding. Any unused portion of an airline ticket on the dates specified cannot be honored for travel on another flight and, upon request, may be subject to a partial refund of certain taxes and fees in accordance with Transat’s terms and conditions.
Refusal to transport/removal of Customer: Transat shall not be liable for its or another air carrier’s refusal to transport Customers arising from the following circumstances: a Customer fails to register for a flight (no show), a Customer jeopardizes public safety, a Customer does not hold the proper travel documents or the latter are invalid, a Customer violates or may violate any applicable law, if the final payment is not honoured, or Transat or the air carrier deems it necessary to deny boarding of a Customer in order to prevent any danger or risk to such Customer or to any other person or property, or to ensure the safe conduct of the flight.
This section also applies, with the necessary adjustments, to maritime (ships, ferries and other) and ground transportation.
Train + Air: When completing a Train + Air booking, you enter into two separate contracts: a contract of carriage by air with Air Transat and a contract of carriage by rail with SNCF. Note that Air Transat is not liable for performance of the contract of carriage by rail, which is subject to the rules governing rail transport liability and the “Conditions des Tarifs voyageurs” (passenger fare terms and conditions) of SNCF MOBILITÉS. For more details, see the SNCF General Conditions of Carriage.

MINORS 
Air transportation orders adopted by Transport Canada allow infants (under 2 years of age at date of completion of travel) to travel free of charge provided they do not occupy a seat (Airport improvement fees and the purchase of a tourist card may be required for certain destinations). A flight reservation must be made for this purpose and no meal service will be provided.
Please contact the air carrier to enquire about the conditions and fees applicable to the transportation of unaccompanied minors.
For Packages, Tours and À La Carte Accommodations, all Customers under 18 years of age (21 years of age for the U.S) must be accompanied by a parent or a legal guardian who has reached the age of majority in that country and assuming all responsibilities for said minor.  

TRAVEL INSURANCE
Transat highly recommends the purchase of travel insurance at time of booking to cover against any unexpected events, namely trip cancellation, loss of, or damage to baggage and insurance to cover medical costs abroad. Insurance premiums are payable in full at time of booking. Please contact your travel agent or visit www.transat.com for more information on the various insurance plans available.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
A valid Canadian passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel and identification document available to Canadians for the purpose of international travel. Certain countries require that passports be valid for six (6) months beyond the date of return to Canada. It is the responsibility of the Customer to obtain, at their own expense, all necessary travel documents required by the relevant government authorities, including all ports of call, and to comply with the various laws thereof. Canadian citizens born in certain countries may require a visa in addition to a valid passport. A permanent resident card is required for permanent residents/landed immigrants who are not Canadian citizens. It is advisable for minors travelling with only one parent or legal guardian to bring along a signed affidavit by the other parent authorizing the child to travel abroad.
Customers are fully responsible for obtaining the required travel documents and must ensure they have the necessary documents in hand prior to departure (such as passport, visa, vaccination certificate, sufficient funds, certificate of insurance, or other). For more information on required travel documents, please visit www.travel.gc.ca. Customers who fail to provide the required travel documents may be denied boarding privileges by the carrier or relevant authorities, without further recourse or the possibility of a refund. Entry to another country may also be refused even if the required travel documents are complete. No refund or replacement will be given for lost or stolen travel documents. Transat shall not be liable for any assistance or information provided by its employees or the travel agent, whether transmitted verbally, in writing or otherwise, in connection with obtaining the necessary travel documents or complying with any applicable laws; or for any adverse consequences to any Customer resulting from the failure to obtain such documents or to comply with any such laws.

CUSTOMER ADVISORY 
Certain events are part of normal unpleasant occurrences which may arise when travelling abroad. The Customer acknowledges this possibility, solely assumes the consequences thereof and agrees that Transat cannot be held responsible. Here are a few examples of such possible occurrences:
Service disruptions: Certain services, namely local public water, electricity, hot water, air-conditioning, safety equipment and other services or benefits may be partially or completely suspended or interrupted during the stay. Likewise, depending on the hotel’s occupancy rate, à la carte dining may be replaced by buffet dining or vice-versa.
Food, water and beverages: The quality of food, water and beverages served abroad may differ from North American standards and therefore may lead to discomfort or health issues. As such, Transat cannot be held responsible for any health problems or illness resulting therefrom and the Customer is advised to take all necessary precautions.
Insects: Insect life thrives in certain climates and can therefore be commonly found inside and outside of any hotel, regardless of its classification. Transat cannot be held responsible for any health problems or illness resulting therefrom and the Customer is advised to take all necessary precautions.
Maintenance: In order to maintain the quality of services, resorts must regularly undergo maintenance, improvement and renovation work and, in some instances, expansion. Whenever construction or maintenance work likely to interfere with the use and enjoyment of any accommodation is brought to the attention of Transat, every reasonable effort will be deployed to promptly notify Customers; however, Transat cannot be held accountable for any inconvenience caused to them.  
Religious holidays, school breaks, elections and conventions: Certain inconveniences, such as cancellation or unavailability of some Services, may arise when travelling during periods designated as religious holidays, school breaks, elections and conventions. Given that these periods vary according to the country and relevant authorities, it is practically impossible for Transat to provide any indication of such dates. The Customer acknowledges this and solely assumes the possible consequences of travelling during these periods.
Pregnancy: Certain destinations may present potential risks to pregnant women (or those who may become pregnant) or their unborn children. Prior to travel, Customers should inform themselves of the potential risks for pregnant women travelling abroad to the intended destination and the preventative measures to be undertaken. Transat cannot be held responsible for any health problems or illness resulting therefrom and the Customer is advised to take all necessary precautions.

ASSIGMENT OF ROOMS AND STATEROOMS 
Hoteliers and cruise lines are solely responsible for hotel room and stateroom assignment, in accordance with the category reserved by the Customer. Transat has no responsibility with respect to the location of the room, decor, furnishings or type of bed therein, which may vary according to its location on the hotel premises or stateroom on the ship. Should a Customer choose to alter the room category or the stateroom upon arrival at destination, such change may be made subject to availability and payment of additional fees. Please contact the hotelier or cruise line for any hotel room change or the Guest Relations Services Office on the ship for any change of stateroom.
Where “accommodation or equivalent category” appears, the accommodation listed is not guaranteed and the supplier will have sole discretion in choosing an alternative of the equivalent category. Customers will be informed of the accommodations reserved on their travel documents prior to the date of departure. Transat cannot be held liable for the supplier’s selection.

HOTEL CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT 
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that check-in time for most hotels is from 3 PM. Checkout time varies depending on the hotel, but is usually before 11 AM on the day of departure. Whenever meals and/or drinks are included in a package, the Customer is eligible for said services from the time of check-in until the time of checkout. Customers who wish to check out later than the specified time may be required to pay additional fees.

CHANGES TO SERVICES BY TRANSAT
If certain booked Services are no longer available prior to the Customer’s departure or after arrival at destination, Transat reserves the right to replace them with comparable Services, or alternatively, to cancel them. If the replacement Services are of lesser value, Transat’s liability shall be limited to the sole difference in cost. If the replacement Services are of greater value, the Customer will be required to disburse an amount equal to the difference between the price of the Services initially purchased and that of the replacement Services. The Customer will be entitled to refuse such replacement Services if they occur prior to departure. In this case and in the event of a cancellation, Transat’s liability shall be limited to the reimbursement of the amount disbursed by the Customer for said Services.
Itineraries and times on www.transat.com are for reference only and are subject to change. Itineraries, Tours, sightseeing tours, accommodations or means of transportation are subject to change without notice. Local tour operators and guides reserve their right to alter or substitute alternative itineraries with or without prior notice to the Customer, such decision being final and without any recourse against Transat.

CHANGES TO THE RESERVATION BY THE CUSTOMER
In certain circumstances, Transat or the supplier will allow Customers to make certain changes to their reservation. If such change is not permitted or the Customer chooses not to travel or use the Services purchased, the applicable cancellation fees for the Services will apply. Please consult the “Change and Cancellation Fees” section at the end of these terms and conditions.

CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY 
Statement to the travel agent or Transat: Customers are responsible for advising their travel agent or Transat of their intentions, expectations and needs as they relate to the proposed travel, before the reservation is completed.
Special needs: Customers requiring special services or assistance while travelling must advise the travel agent and the air carrier of any and all specific needs at time of booking, so that appropriate measures can be taken to allow access to air travel and accommodations. Subject to restrictions depending on facilities and services abroad. The Customer may consult the Travel Information section on the Air Transat website.
Health status: Customers whose physical condition so requires must ensure that they have a sufficient quantity of any required medication (prescription or other) and that such medication be stored in their carry-on baggage at all times. Customers must also consult competent medical authorities prior to departure to enquire about preventive medical measures to be taken as regards the country visited. Customers are also responsible for ensuring that they are fit to travel. 
Pregnant women: Certain destinations may present potential risks to pregnant women or those who become pregnant and/or their unborn children. Prior to travel, Customers should inform themselves of the potential risks for pregnant women travelling abroad to the intended destination and the preventative measures to be undertaken. Transat cannot be held responsible for any health problems or illness resulting therefrom and the Customer is advised to take all necessary precautions. Moreover, as there may be health risks associated with air travel, the air carrier may refuse pregnant women in the latter stages of pregnancy. In these cases, a medical certificate establishing the due date and fitness to travel may be required prior to departure. Please contact your travel agent or visit www.transat.com for further information.

FORCE MAJEURE 
Transat shall not be liable for any claim, loss or damage to a person or to property, cost, expense, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment or of time, disappointment or frustration, either mental or physical, resulting from any delay, cancellation, accident, illness, injury or death, resulting from, but not limited to:

The Customer must repurchase Option Flex Standard or Option Flex Extra at the time of said change or upon booking a new Package, as the case may be, in order to be entitled to its benefits for any future travel.

Any price difference resulting from a change or the selection of a new Package must be paid by the Customer. Please consult the “Change and Cancellation Fees” section at the end of these terms and conditions. 

Cancellation
Option Flex Standard
In the event of a cancellation, the Customer who purchased Option Flex Standard can cancel their reservation 72 hours prior to departure from Canada. In the case of a change in room occupancy following a cancellation, any price difference will be borne by the Customer who will occupy the room further to such change. No reimbursement will be provided if the price of the new package or hotel room thereof is lower than the original price of the booking. Please note, however, that if only one minor passenger remains in the room following cancellation, the reservation will be automatically cancelled. Please consult the “Change and Cancellation Fees” section at the end of these terms and conditions. The Customer’s package will be refunded in Option Flex travel credits within approximately 150 days. If Option Flex travel credits are authorized, they will be recorded in the name of each person on file and may be used for the future purchase of any Transat product.
