Air Transat brings new meals, kids perks on board

On May 1, Air Transat introduced the summer 2019 Chef's Menu by Daniel Vézina and its enhanced Bistro menu for South flights.

The gourmet menu has included a new Portuguese-style cod along with five passenger favourites. The Chef's Menu by Daniel Vézina is free in Club Class and available in Economy Class at a cost of $18 for breakfast and $25 for lunch/dinner. Passengers can pre-order the meals created by renowned Quebec chef by calling the airline’s Booking Centre at 1‑877-TRANSAT or by visiting the Air Transat website.

New snacks

A new vegan option has been added to meet the growing demand. Hence, Economy Class passengers flying to/from the South and US will be able to order the Mexican vegan salad for $8.99.

Travellers can also enjoy Canadian favourites like poutine and a classic smoked meat sandwich.

A new Kids Meal has also been added and is available on all flights within Canada that are longer than three hours, as well as to and from the South. Young travellers aged two to 11 can enjoy a macaroni and cheese meal served alongside applesauce and cookies and juice.

The kids meal is available free of charge by pre-order at least 72 hours before departure for flights between Canada and Europe.

On-board surprises for young travellers

New surprises await members of Air Transat’s popular Kids Club. On departure flights, they’ll receive a knapsack, travel diary, coloured pencils and postcard. On transatlantic flights, they’ll also be given an eye mask and a cozy blanket to help them relax.
