MONTREAL, June 13, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ -
Air Transat, named World's Best Leisure Airline in 2021 by
Skytrax, is proud to add iconic Las
Vegas to its roster of destinations available from
Montreal this winter. Starting
November 3, Air Transat will fly
nonstop to more than 50 destinations across the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, the
United States and Europe
this winter.
"Many Canadians are finally ready to take the trip they have
been dreaming of over the past two years," says Michèle Barre, Air
Transat's Vice President of Network, Revenue Management and
Pricing. "On one hand, Las Vegas
represents the creation of new opportunities for both leisure and
business travel. On the other, with the return of direct flights to
Havana, New Orleans and Tampa, we are proposing even more
possibilities to explore sunny destinations. We are proud to offer
our passengers a diverse flight network on four continents to not
only meet, but continually exceed their expectations."
Las
Vegas: for business and pleasure
As of November 3, 2022, Air
Transat will fly from Montreal to
Las Vegas four times a week. This
destination, renowned for its lively nightlife, large-scale
concerts, and spectacular nearby national parks, also offers a
multitude of business opportunities with its many trade shows and
events.
A long-awaited return of key
destinations
Travellers looking for discovery and a change of scenery will
appreciate the return of three sunny routes that were put on hold
due to the pandemic – two in the U.S. and one in Cuba. The carrier is markedly consolidating
its presence in the Florida and
Cuban markets, both of which continue to remain popular
destinations among Canadian travelers.
Therefore, Air Transat will fly from Montreal to New
Orleans two times a week starting November 3, to Havana three times a week starting
December 19, and to Tampa two times a week starting December 23.
Three enhanced routes from
Montreal
To meet the growing interest of travellers for these
destinations, Air Transat will upgrade its Montreal-London and Montreal-Los
Angeles seasonal service to a year-round service starting in
the fall of 2022, each with three weekly flights. In addition, the
carrier will extend its Montreal-Marseille direct flights to until January 8, 2023, with two flights a week.
