Air Transat will launch flights to two additional French cities next June, linking Toronto and Montreal with Basel-Mulhouse and Bordeaux.

Frequency, schedule and equipment are uncertain yet but I bet it will be 1 or two weekly flights each with A-310.

Air Transat currently serves the French cities of Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Nice and Nantes.

My source is a direct Air Transat message to some local travel agencies!

They will start with a seasonal service (June-September), hopefully upgrading to a year-round service when sucesful!

You're welcome.

By the way, here's the message from Air Transat:

L'été 2006, Air Transat offrira jusqu'à 25 vols directs par semaine vers le Canada !
Montréal, Québec, Toronto et maintenant Ottawa : une panoplie d'activités vous attend. Dessertes disponibles au départ de 8 villes françaises : Paris, Nice, Lyon, Nantes, Marseille, Toulouse et maintenant Bordeaux et Bâle-Mulhouse. Pour rappel, cet hiver, Air Transat assurera 5 vols directs de Paris vers Montréal, ainsi que vers la ville de Québec.

In short, it means that in summer 2006, Air Transat will offer 25 direct flights between France and Canada per week, flying from Paris, Nice, Lyon, Nantes, Marseille, Toulouse and new from Bordeaux and Basel-Mulhouse.

I'll post again if I know the flight schedules.

Regards,
RJ100

Clarification Please.

Will these flights originate in YYZ, then stop in YUL, before heading to France?
Me French isn't so great....

Will some of these destinations be served dually?
Triangle routings?
Or will each destination be served with its own nonstop flight to Canada?

What are the fares like? Might be an interesting option for one who wants to by-pass the hub-bub of deGaulle.

The French text does not explain routings and frequencies.

Maybe our Canadian or French friends have some more information on that?

I was actually rooting for a flight to GVA but BSL might make more sense when ya think about it. TS would reach much of the Strasbourg/Rhin corridor-YUL traffic with a flight to BSL.

BOD is a no-brainer too.

Good stuff!

Sure is all direct flight from YUL or YYZ.

TS rarely do some stop, actuatly, the only route i know TS is doing stop is 1 week trip YUL-YQB-CDG.

Also YYZ-YHZ-MUC/YVR-YYC-LGW/YVR-YEG-LGW etc.
