For Canadians, Air Transat and Air Canada are the two main airlines available for the vast majority of flights. The big difference between the two companies is that Air Transat targets mainly leisure travel, while Air Canada<\/a> tries to attract business customers as well.<\/p>\n

As a result, Air Transat will serve more secondary airports in Europe and the South than Air Canada. In addition, Air Transat may offer flights on more dates or on a different day of the week, which may be more convenient for you.<\/p>\n

For those looking for an enhanced flying experience<\/a>, Air Canada’s Signature business class is the way to go. Plus, when we take a look at the range of destinations, we can see that Air Transat doesn’t go as far as Asia or Oceania, unlike Air Canada. <\/p>\n

For example, for a family trip<\/a> to Portugal<\/a>, the most practical itinerary for your vacation might be to land in Lisbon<\/a> and depart from Porto. Air Transat is therefore the preferred choice between the two airlines, especially with young children<\/a>, as these flights are direct.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Air Canada does not offer many international flights from Quebec airport at the moment. So flights with Air Transat are the only direct options available.<\/p>\n
