A new
Transavia base
in Munich
After its French
and Dutch bases,
it is now German
city Munich’s turn
to welcome a new
Transavia base.
On departure
from the Bavarian
capital, you
will thus have
access to
18 destinations
in Belgium,
Croatia, Denmark,
Spain, Italy,
Morocco, the
Netherlands and
Portugal. More
than 101 weekly
flights will be
operated during
the Summer 2016
season, thanks
to 4 Boeing
737-800s.
Transavia is
the first low-cost
carrier to
establish a base
in Munich.
+70 %
growth in
Transavia’s
capacity on
departure
from Lyon (France),
in number of seats.
The company
is significantly
reinforcing its
presence, with five
new Boeing737s
and five new
destinations
(Lisbon, Valencia,
Agadir, Faro and
Rhodes).
The art of low-cost travel
Lisbon,
the oceanic
Lisbon, a languishing beauty? The Portuguese capital
seems to unfold lazily along the Tagus, its immense,
nourishing gold-glinted river. The nearby ocean’s
iodized fragrances float gently in the air. Here the
monuments seem to date back to eternity: the
SãoJorge castle built on the highest hill in 138 before
Jesus Christ, the elegant Belém Tower standing guard
over the entry to the port for more than 500 years,
in memory of the great explorer Vasco de Gama…
But, little by little, visitors also discern the buzz of an
intense cultural life. They experience the exuberant
nightlife in the old renovated dock quarter and discover
multiple initiatives to develop an economic ecosystem
around innovation and creativity.

Palma de Majorca,
the surprising
Fabulous beaches, any number of night clubs,
endless parties… While the reputation of Palma de
Majorca, capital of the Balearic Islands, has long
been established, the reality is more subtle. Behind
the trendy clubs, the ancient Casco Antigo district
unfurls its labyrinth of charming lanes. An occasional
glimpse of a light-filled patio built between the fif-
teenth and seventeenth centuries. Facing the sea,
the thirteenth century cathedralwith its finely-
wrought facade stands proud. And right next door,
LaAlmudaina Palace, once the citadel of the Moorish
Kings and subsequently Majorca’s historic official
royal residence.
With Transavia, you can unleash your passion for travel – whether
impromptu or carefully considered – in Europe and around
the Mediterranean rim. The airline’s low-cost ights can transport
you to the pastoral balminess of Lisbon, the hidden gems of Palma
deMajorca and Dubrovnik’s majestic ramparts, with all the comfort
and service quality you have come to expect. These three destinations
are just some of the 37 new routes oered in the Summer 2016 season.

Spain
The history of Dubrovnik dates back to time immemo-
rial and the city carefully preserves the vestiges of its
glorious past, when it competed with the all-powerful
Venice. After the bombing of the early 1990s,
Dubrovnik has regained its splendour and now
attracts tourists from everywhere in the world. Its
narrow, shady lanes are strewn with a multitude of
churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains. Like
the old town, the massive high ramparts overhanging
the Adriatic Sea are on the list of Unesco World
Heritage Sites.
