Canada itself is endlessly rewarding across the seasons. Summer delivers sun-drenched lakes and vibrant cities; autumn brings a riot of foliage; winter turns the country into a snow-sparkled playground; spring offers a quieter, green renewal. Beyond the must-see icons, Air Transat invites you to go deeper: savour authentic local food in Quebec and Ontario, hunt northern lights in the West, discover wildlife and natural landscapes, or seek out off-the-beaten-path adventures.

Whether you’re travelling for the 2026 celebrations or planning a bucket-list Canadian trip, Air Transat promises a warm welcome, reliable departures and all the essentials to begin your trip right.
