Traveller Care

Air Transat's health and safety program

We know that the pandemic has raised concerns about travelling. That’s why we created Air Transat’s Traveller Care, a program featuring enhanced health and safety measures at check-in, during boarding and on board — as recommended by regulatory authorities such as the International Civil Aviation Organization — so that you can travel with peace of mind.

Here’s what you can expect from us to get you there safely:

Travelling during COVID-19 - Look up restrictions and entry requirements by destination

- 1Watch for common symptoms of COVID-19 to make sure your health allows you to travel.
- 2Stay informed. The situation is constantly evolving, as are the travel requirements. So consult our practical guide for Canada’s entry requirements.
- 3You will be required to wear a mask at the airport and in the plane, so make sure to bring at least one with you on your trip.
- 4We recommend you check in online, available 24 hours before your flight. You will also be asked a few health-related questions.
- 5To avoid payments at the airport, we recommend you make your payments online, up to 72 hours before departure, for any extra bags, sports equipment or extra inflight services.
- 6Travel light. You’ll be allowed one carry-on on board, as usual, but please note that baggage  regulations will be strictly enforced.
- 7Download the Air Transat app* to stay informed.
- 8Download the ArriveCAN app. You’ll need to submit your contact information, quarantine plan and vaccination certificate (if you have one) via ArriveCAN within 72 hours before your arrival to Canada.
