Bon voyage, mon petite fromage! Brush up on that Quebecois vocab – you might want to start with the fact that we just called you a small cheese – because you're about to fly the French-Canadian skies with Air Transat. Based in Montreal, this magnifique airline carries more than 2.5 million passengers to 25 countries every year, and it does so without a single beret in sight. Those things are so passé anyway. Besides, with Air Transat flights crisscrossing the globe through warm-weather spots like Acapulco and Cozumel, a woolen hat will be the last thing on your mind. Named “World’s Best Leisure Airline” at the Skytrax annual World Airline Awards in July 2012, you’ll be so excited for your Air Transat flight that your only thought will be about the tres belle view from your window seat.
The Sky Is Green
Air Transat Airlines doesn't offer a rewards program – insert sad faces here – but they do kick things up a few notches for the tofu-loving hippie in all of us. That's right, green scene: This carrier is all about keeping their operations as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible, so you can hop on board Air Transat planes without needing to spend two weeks obsessively recalculating your carbon footprint. Use the extra time to catch up on Michael Pollan's oeuvre or search for the best organic melon this side of Montreal. Just polish it off before you board your flights; there's no way that thing is getting through security.
