Air Transat Archives - Listen to Lena

So, I have funny little story to share. On our recent family vacation to the Mayan Riviera, Mexico with Transat Holidays, I made a pen pal. It’s true! My husband befriended one of the serving staff at Azul Fives Hotel, and they established a bromance for the remainder of our stay (likely fueled by the fact that Ezequiel repeatedly brought over my husband’s favourite drink… multiple times per day). And then, before I knew it, we had exchanged Facebook details.

(Hola to my new friend from Playa del Carmen!)

Here’s the funny thing: trying to explain to Ezequiel the concept of minus temperatures.

You know, the cold, frigid wind chills we experience in the north, coupled with the arctic freeze and snowy whiteouts. Canadian winter, if you will. And when attempting to describe just exactly how cold it gets (in my broken Spanish, of course), he stated, rather bemusedly,

“Why not come back to Mexico. No snow here.” Why not indeed, Ezequiel!

You’ve planned your vacation; you’ve charged it to your credit card. You’ve taken time off work and taken the kids out of school and you’ve even arranged for someone to come and water your plant.

You’re ready.

But let’s be honest – how often do you take your flight into consideration when booking your vacation? Often, the flight is simply seen as a necessary mode of transportation to get you from your home to paradise. And that’s why it’s easy to overlook the small stuff – like who you’re flying with and the flight options you’ve selected.

Trust me, that stuff isn’t so small.

Your vacation begins and ends with your flight. The experience is what sets the tone for your time away and is the last memory you’ll have upon your return. And that’s why I happen to adore Transat Holidays. Year after year, Transat Holidays is named best tour operator by travel agents in Canada – and it’s not just because they offer flawless family vacations at stellar prices. It’s because of the detail and attention they place on every aspect of your holiday – from the moment you book to the moment you return. And of course, that includes your flight.
Transat Holidays The Air Transat Kids Club is for children between the ages of 2 and 11 who are residents of Canada, the UK and France. This program is designed to make air travel a fun experience for young travellers (and for their parents, too!). …
