Popular ‘Transat Auction’ Back for Cyber Monday

Transat will hold the third edition of its popular “Transat Auction” on Cyber Monday (Nov. 30), during which travellers will have the opportunity to bid on their next vacation with all proceeds being donated to SOS Children’s Villages.

The auction will take place on Twitter, where Canadians will be able to bid on 20 auction lots consisting of all-inclusive packages to popular sun destinations like Mexico, Curaçao, Panama and St. Maarten, as well as roundtrip flights to Europe.

Through the auction, Canadians can secure great vacation deals while supporting a worthy cause. All funds raised go to SOS Children’s Villages, a non-profit humanitarian organization that provides caring family homes to more than 80,000 orphaned and abandoned children in 134 countries.

“The Transat Auction lots highlight the depth of our winter offering, be it south packages for families in Canadians’ favourite destinations, chic hotels on a tropical island or flights to romantic Europe. With starting bids as low as $5, consumers have a shot at getting incredible prices for their dream vacations, while giving back to an amazing cause,” says Geneviève LeBrun, vice-president, marketing, Transat Tours Canada. “It’s a new take on Cyber Monday deals – a win for our consumers and a big win for SOS Children’s Villages, a cause that’s close to our hearts.”

To participate and bid on their dream vacation, travel enthusiasts must follow the @AirTransat account, or search for the hashtag #TransatAuction.

Full details of the Transat Auction and the lots will also be available on the http://www.transatauction.ca microsite as of Friday (Nov. 27).
