Transat Travel Shaganappi Village Centre

Fantastic experience: Barry is an absolute gem! Our family takes advantage of his expertise regularly. He never disappoints!

Negative experience: I unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience with Transat Travel. Due to unforeseen circumstances I am unable to attend a trip— I hadn’t even paid yet, and there are no options for me to receive any money back. I felt zero support from Cory during this process and felt like every solution or answer had me going in circles and genuinely made zero sense. Due to the poor policy at this establishment and the lack of explanation surrounding it I am now out a great deal of money, that was the only option given to me to not screw over other people on my booking. It was absolutely ridiculous and please know before choosing this agency that their policy surrounding cancellations are useless. Feels like a complete scam, and extremely unorganized. Would not suggest using this agency unless you are absolutely certain you can attend a trip, there is no way out if life happens and you’re unable to make it. Avoid transat at all costs, save yourself the money and headache and book it yourself.

Fantastic experience: Barry is the best! He went over and beyond for me and my wife and I will always recommend transat Travel and use them from now on ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I've been dealing with Cory Benedict for many years. Always goes above and beyond on helping me plan vacations. She is my go to for booking flights .

Fantastic experience: I can not Thank Cory Benedict at Transat Travel for everything she always does for me and my family. Each trip we have booked with her has been great! From booking the right place n time to asking 1000 questions she never once not helped. Cory has always gone above and beyond! Her recommendations/suggestions have always been to our needs and follow up always makes us feel like Family! It started with us booking our Honeymoon 15 years ago and cant wait to keep making our family trips with her and her team!!! Thank you Transat Team!

Fantastic experience: Cory Benedict has arranged multiple trips for us, she is incredibly patient with my indecisiveness and helps me navigate all the options and upgrades. We have been through a few travel hiccups (no fault of hers!) and she was always there to help smooth everything out. I wont travel anywhere without her at the helm!!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Cory since 2007 when I took my kids to Disneyland. Since then she has helped myself and other family members with several trips to fantastic destinations, the most recently being a much anticipated trip to Italy. Her professionalism and attention to detail is exceptional. Quick story to show how she goes above and beyond. We were having trouble getting our boarding passes to get home from Venice as we couldn't connect to the airlines website. I fired off a quick message and Cory took care of everything, emailing us our boarding passes within minutes. She's the best!

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience with Trasnsat travel! Their prices are amazing, but what really made the difference was Hope. She gave me the best price out of all the agencies I contacted and beat every other quote I received. I was traveling alone with my kids, so I was a little nervous, but Hope made everything so smooth and stress-free. She went above and beyond — giving me all the possible scenarios, walking me through booking options, and making sure I was prepared for everything. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail really stood out. I’m so glad I chose them and will definitely use their service again! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Cory has helped us plan many vacations. The most recent was to Italy. She’s knowledgeable, organized and wonderful to work with!

Fantastic experience: Cory helped plan every detail of our vacation to Spain and fulfilled all our requests including transportation. She even helped us when we were in Spain and had a hiccup that was out of her control. Her recommendations for hotels were conveniently located and a perfect fit for us. Highly recommend her expertise.

Fantastic experience: Cory was great to work with, saving us so much time by helping to pare down multiple vacation ideas and options. She provided excellent travel tips and advice, and we will definitely work with Cory again to plan future vacations.

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Cory for an all inclusive vacation within a set budget. She found us the perfect vacation, at a great resort, stayed within our budget including travel insurance. She has been kind, professional and prompt replying to our many emails regarding a delayed flight. Cory was recommended by a co worker, and I will definitely contact her again for future travel plans. Thank you Cory, I appreciate your dedication to great customer service.

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend booking any trips through Cory Benedict!! We just booked through her and she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we were looking for. She is very funtastic and very helpfull easy to deal.

Fantastic experience: Cory Benedict was so great and helpful! She found the best vacation for me and my family. She really took the time to make sure the recommendations were right on par with what we needed! Would definitely use her again! We are very excited to be going to Mexico at Christmas! Thanks for everything Cory, you’re amazing

Fantastic experience: Barry is an outstanding travel advisor who not only excels at his job but also goes above and beyond his duties. His kindness and compassion are exceptional, and we will definitely seek his help for many more trips. Thanks, Barry—you’re the best!!!!

Fantastic experience: Cory Benedict was are travel agent at transat travel we had a wonderful experience are room had an amazing view and everything ran smooth from air travel as well as all are excursions. We will definitely book are next trip with Cory

Fantastic experience: Barry always gives us the best service. We’ve been dealing with him for many years and he’s always there when needed. We couldn’t ask for better.

Fantastic experience: We booked a trip to Thialand through Trasat travel and it was the best experience our agent Cory B was so good and was always responsive to any questions and was able to meet our budget unlike other agencies we had a amazing time and flew with China airlines they were fantastic and we would fly with them again are transfers were always on time and everything went according To our itinerary thank you so much to Corey B and your team we will definitely be booking our vacations with you again

Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend this travel agency. Cory is fantastic. Walked in with no appointment and was helped right away. Not only did she take the time to listen to what we were looking for (and start researching resorts for us), but she also recommended other options that worked out to be better than what we had previously looked at on our own. Cory is very experienced and professional and so very pleasant and we will absolutely have her book our next vacation(s). 10/10!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional service!! Cory is always fast to respond and very helpful. She has great suggestions and always looks for the best price possible! Any last minute inquiries before a trip are never a problem.

Fantastic experience: Imagine you telling your 6 year old son this: 5 more sleeps, 4 more sleeps, 3, 2, 1… Guess what day it is today??? And he yells “DISNEY CRUISE!!!!” and by the end of the day, there is no Disney Cruise because the flight you were supposed to get on at 6:30 in the morning doesn’t leave until 2:30 pm causing you to miss your ship. Yup, that’s what happened last week and if it weren’t for our travel agent Barry Davis from Marlin Travel, our vacation would have been over even before it had started. Barry went above and beyond to get us on another flight and made the transaction seamless. We not only missed our ship, but we had to catch up to it in Mexico (our first port of call) and Barry organized everything we needed in order to do that… and we did! Thanks to Barry, we were able to spend a whole day in Mexico and another 5 aboard our ship! If anyone reading this post is looking for a travel agent, give Barry a call because this guy started working for us “hours” before his agency was open for business. Had I booked this trip with an online agency I think I would have never left Calgary that day. The best part of having a travel agent is that the pricing is virtually the same. You'll pay the same with a travel agent as you would any other online ticketing agency. It's a no brainer to have someone like Barry on your team! Thanks Barry!

Fantastic experience: I dealt with Cory to book a corporate trip. I haven't used a travel agent much, but I will from now on. Cory was so easy to work with and efficient. My group had some last min changes and she got right on them and found us the cheapest deal. I am so glad I came across this gem!

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend booking any trips through Cory Benedict!! We just booked through her and she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we were looking for. We will not book through anyone but Cory because she is the best!,

Fantastic experience: Simply put!! Barry is the. BEST. Professional. Caring and. Knowledgeable Ralph and. Gwen

Negative experience: This is the worst service ever I had experienced. This person Is spoke to ,Does not respond to emails , no people skills, lazy as hell. Would not recommend at all especially for people of color.

Negative experience: I would never recommend using this place for any of your travel needs.

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly especially Cory Benedict

Fantastic experience: We were staying with our daughter in Calgary after traveling from Australia.We had no set itinerary to continue our trip into America and happened to walk into the Transat Office in Shaganappi to see if they could but something together for us. We found their service outstanding and wish to thank Corey, Cheryl and Barry for putting together an enjoyable trip on fairly short notice. Recommend them highly. Wendy and Clive.

Fantastic experience: Tricia is amazing g. Been using her for 20 years, or more. Knows every location and resort. If you ever had a problem, you would be glad to have her.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Barry for a family winter holiday vacation to Tahiti (two parents, two adult kids). He was phenomenal. He put together a great itinerary for three islands, three hotels, transfers, and flights (from multiple cities), he contacted hotels with our questions about meals and activities, and he was always available by email, phone or (during a travel panic) by text. He earned rock star status when, during air travel meltdowns across North America in December, it looked like my son might miss the vacation due to flight delays and cancellations. Even though it was his day off, Barry stayed in constant contact with me and my son as we strategized back-up plans A, B and C for him to join us. Thanks, Barry, for great ideas, great communication, and fabulous customer service that went far beyond the call of duty.

Fantastic experience: Barry Davis went above and beyond assisting my wife and I as we are planning a trip to Australia. The Australian Government has not made it easy for people to travel there with all the restrictions it has in place due to COVID-19. They have made it very difficult to fill out their forms to be considered for entry into their country. After a few tries, we gave up and booked an appointment with Barry. He spent 3 hours with us at his office to apply for both the Travel Exemption Visa and the Visitor Visas. We are so grateful for his assistance and now await the final word from the Australian Government. For any of your travel needs we highly recommend Barry. He is located in the Varsity community in Calgary, Alberta. Thank you Barry Davis from Betty & Joe

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Tricia Mathers for setting up our adventure in Europe and Mediterranean 2022. This has been four years in the planning and her expertise and time was beyond measure.

Fantastic experience: We could not have set up this trip without Tricia help. Her time commitment to get this in place was amazing. Can hardly wait to tell her all about it.

Fantastic experience: Wow! So I recently decided to book a trip to Disneyland. I did my own research to get an idea of cost but then thought I might try a travel agent to help make sure I have everything in order. I honestly can't say enough good things about working with Cory at Transat Travel. From start to finish I have had 5 star service. Cory has helped me better understand my options, how I can structure the trip, and manage my expectations for budget and timeline. Communication has been so simple and timely. Cory has also helped me to understand some of the current travel pitfalls to be watchful for (COVID has changed travel). It has truly been a pleasure to work together with her and on top of all that great service... I got a better price for the trip by working together with her. If you are planning an upcoming trip I really recommend contacting Transat Travel, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and give honest advice.

Fantastic experience: Mr Barry helped me so so much when I had a problem with my flight. The best travel agent in town

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of dealing with Tricia who made travel in these very difficult times an absolute breeze. Thank you for all your efforts. I will definitely recommend you.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience even during a very stressful time thanks to Barry Davis! I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a thoughtful and efficient travel agent! Many thanks to this team.

Fantastic experience: I was part of a booking for a destination cruise, as well as my own bachelor party. The cruise required little back-and-forth and was flawless. Everything was as expected, and the price was unbeatable. As for the bachelor party, I have just finished the reservation and locked in folks from all over Canada to meet down south. Barry was able to put together multiple options, far cheaper than what I was able to see online, and make the vacation work for us, rather than the other way around. We will be relying on Barry's expertise to help us plan our Honeymoon. Great hub for managing more difficult travel arrangements.

Fantastic experience: Very good
