Notes: 

• For routes within the same region or between two different regions, the higher percentage of assistance is applied.
• Levels of assistance have been determined on the basis of airfares offered without financial assistance, to ensure that the cost of travel to and from Montréal or Ville de Québec is similar from one region to another.
• Trips whose origin and destination are not included in this table are not eligible.

The RAAP fare apples to all tickets purchased either:

• by an individual for personal travel
• by a non-profit organization
• for travel as part of a student activity (school, after-school, sports or cultural)

The RAAP fare does not apply to tickets:

• purchased or reimbursed, in full or in part, by an organization (employer, company, agency, health centre, municipality, etc.)
• used for business travel or work-related trips
• used for charter flights

Tickets at RAAP fares are available from the following airlines:

Note that each carrier determines its own conditions of sale and ticket modifications.

Websites that compare prices from different carriers, such as SkyScanner or Kayak, do not allow tickets to be purchased at the RAAP fare.
