How to bid for an upgrade on Air Transat
Air Transat runs a Bid Upgrade program: you offer an amount within a set range to move to a higher cabin, and you're only charged if your bid is accepted. Here's exactly how it works and how to place a bid.
- Open Air Transat's official upgrade page (https://upgrade.plusgrade.com/offer/AirTransat?lang=en).
- Enter your booking reference (PNR) and last name.
- If your fare and flight are eligible, you'll see the available upgrade(s) and a bid range.
- Choose your bid amount within that range — higher bids have a better chance of winning.
- Submit your bid. You'll be notified by email, usually 24–72 hours before departure.
- If you win, your card is charged and the upgrade is confirmed; if not, there's no charge.
