Air Transat invites travellers to “pin” their vacations on Pinterest

Montreal, July 23, 2018 — Air Transat, named World’s Best Leisure Airline at the Skytrax World Airline Awards, invites people with a passion for travel to join the company on Pinterest. The airline is using the social media platform to post an array of photos, videos and articles to inspire travellers and help them plan memorable holidays.

Pinterest is an endless source of inspiration on a variety of topics, including travel. The platform uses images to bring together people with common interests. It posts visual content, allowing users to collect and categorize images and other multimedia content—known as pins—on virtual boards.

Air Transat shares its passion for travel and its destinations (some 60 in all) on Pinterest with more than 40 boards and close to 3,000 pins full of travel tips and ideas. The goal is to inspire and inform people as well as help them plan their vacations by creating their own boards, where they can add pins based on their own interests. From travel guides to the most stunning panoramas, not to mention popular draws, top dishes, tour ideas, and travellers’ tales and comments, Air Transat adds pins daily to have something for every kind of vacationer. The company wants to share its 30 years or so of brightening the everyday with the joy of vacations.
