Two new destinations will be added to TS’s Europe route map for 2016 – Zagreb in Croatia and Italy’s Pisa. In announcing next year’s program the airline also revealed increased frequencies and capacity on many of its European flights.

Direct flights to a total of 29 European destinations are scheduled for 2016. In addition, TS says newly launched routes between Toronto and Nice, Montreal and Glasgow as well as Vancouver and Rome will also translate into new options for Canadians planning their vacations to Europe next summer.

“Following the success of our newly launched flights to Budapest and Prague, we are continuing with our development plan by offering the most complete and flexible offer on the market,” says Annick Guérard, General Manager for Transat Tours Canada.

On Sundays beginning 13JUN a direct flight for PSA will take off from YYZ and YUL while ZAG will be offered on Tuesdays starting 15JUN direct from YYZ and via a connecting flight from YUL.
