Montreal, August 30, 2017 – The dizzying cliffs and turquoise waters of the Algarve in Portugal and the white seaside villages of the Costa del Sol in Spain are gaining more and more favour with Canadians, even in winter. With accommodation options for both short and long stays in the South of Europe, Transat’s winter Europe program has everything to deliver an adventure full of charm, wonders and history.

Transat’s vast selection of hotels allows for many types of holidays, enabling travellers to tailor their vacations to their needs: apartments with kitchenettes in the city centre, seaside resorts with or without meals included, charming hotels, etc. À la carte visits can also be added to the different packages, making the experience even more rewarding.

Transat also has packages to Paris and London, two destinations offered year-round by Air Transat thanks to its daily flights. This winter, travellers can fly direct from Montreal to Malaga (Spain), Paris and Lisbon. From Toronto, direct flights will allow travellers to discover Faro, Lisbon and Porto in Portugal, as well as London, Glasgow and Manchester in the United Kingdom. And lastly, Air Transat will continue its domestic flight program between Montreal and Toronto this winter, expanding its offer of transatlantic destinations available to travellers from these cities thanks to connecting flights.
