Air Transat launched Staria on November 2, 2026. It’s free to join, earns points on Air Transat and Porter flights, Transat packages and extras, and lets up to nine members pool their points. Desjardins and Visa will offer Staria credit cards, slated for later in 2027.
Key takeaway: Join before your next Air Transat booking: it’s free and you earn on the cash part of every trip. Don’t switch credit cards for it yet: there’s no Staria card until later in 2027, and Air Transat doesn’t publish what a point is worth.
Editorial update November 12, 2026 · WalletReturn Editorial Team
Staria is Air Transat’s rewards program, launched November 2, 2026. Members earn points on flights, packages and extras and use them toward Air Transat flights and Transat vacation packages. Membership is free.
Members also collect stars by completing missions between trips. Stars unlock perks such as seat selection or a Bistro meal on an upcoming flight, or bonus points on a future purchase, and they don’t expire.
Points are earned per dollar spent before taxes and airport fees. The rate depends on what you book and, for flights, on the fare.
Points appear a few hours after a completed flight; for a package, after the return flight. There are no points on taxes, surcharges, car rentals, excursions, insurance or donations, and options and extras earn only when added ahead of time.
| Purchase | Points per $1 |
|---|---|
| Flights operated by Air Transat or Porter: Eco Budget | 3 |
| Flights operated by Air Transat or Porter: Eco Standard or Club Standard | 5 |
| Flights operated by Air Transat or Porter: Eco Flex or Club Flex | 7 |
| Transat packages (flight, hotel and transfers) | 1 |
| Air Transat options and extras booked ahead (Option Plus, seats, checked bags, pre-ordered meals, Option Flex on packages) | 5 |
You apply points when you book an Air Transat flight or a Transat package, and you choose how many to use. The minimum is 10% of the total; points can cover all of a flight or up to 40% of a package.
You still earn points on the part you pay in cash. All flights must be operated by Air Transat, and there are no blackout dates. Air Transat doesn’t publish a fixed value per point, and its terms say points have no cash value, so we can’t yet compare Staria points with other programs.
Yes. Up to nine members can form a “constellation” and redeem from one combined balance.
Only if your account is inactive. Under Staria’s terms, if you don’t earn or use points for 36 consecutive months, the account is considered inactive and its points are forfeited.
Not yet. Air Transat says its partners Desjardins and Visa will offer credit cards that earn Staria points on everyday purchases, with launch slated for later in 2027. The cards haven’t been named, and no earn rates or fees have been published.
Until then, a flexible travel card earns points you can use on Air Transat flights as a travel credit, and cash back works on any booking. We’ll add the Staria cards to our directory when Desjardins publishes their terms.
