In addition, Air Transat will be offering New Orleans for the first time this winter, and the airline will extend its flights to the summer of 2020. Finally, more flights to Florida from Montreal and Quebec City will be added to the program.

"We are enriching our offering to the western and southern United States, in line with growing travellers' expectations," says Annick Guérard, chief operating officer of Transat. "The North American tourism market is strong, and...we are happy to increase our destinations and frequencies, all while strengthening our Montreal hub."

Direct flights from Montreal to San Diego will be offered three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays, from June 15 to Oct. 28, 2020.

New Orleans & Florida

Starting in November, Air Transat will offer two flights a week from Montreal to New Orleans, on Thursdays and Sundays. To respond to the high demand for this destination, the airline will be extending its service to next summer.

Next summer, Air Transat will add four flights a week to Fort Lauderdale—three from Montreal, and one from Quebec City. The latter will be the only direct flight between Quebec City and Fort Lauderdale during the summer season. Air Transat will also add two more flights from Montreal to Orlando.

The full Air Transat summer 2020 flight program will be announced shortly.
