Exclusive options include: Breakfast bento box, Kids Bento Box & Buddha Bowl. Ranging in price from CAD$10.99-$18.99

Inflight Menu

Itโ€™s possible to purchase a range of hot and cold food items from the inflight menu.

My flight was in November 2023, and the inflight prices have slightly increased since then.

Options like pizza, focaccia, breakfast sandwiches, and other items are available at reasonable prices.

Meal

I pre ordered a breakfast bento consisting of fresh fruits, yogurt and granola, croissant and strawberry jam which cost CAD$14.99.

The Air Transat breakfast bento box is packaged in a white plastic tray with clear lids, it includes fresh fruits, vanilla yogurt, granola, and a croissant with strawberry jam.

I especially loved the yoghurt and the sustainable cutlery.
