I have recently returned from a two week holiday in Canada, flying with Air Transat. This was an airline I'd not heard of before, and in fact I didn't know I'd even booked with them, because I'd booked through a website called Globespan.com, and thought they were the actual airline.

Diamond review   Getting to Canada on the cheap
Review of Air Transat by kam76

Advantages: Cheap!
Disadvantages: Food is pretty horrendous

...holiday in Canada, flying with Air Transat. This was an airline I'd not heard of before, and in fact I didn't know I'd even booked with them, because I'd booked through a website called Globespan.com, and thought they were the actual airline. As I have now discovered, Air Transat are actually a charter airline, and you book with them via travel agents, including Globespan. Despite being a charter airline, they have a scheduled service throughout ...
...Air Transat also fly out of various Belgian, French, German, Irish, Italian, Dutch and Portugese airports, as well as north American and central American airports. ----------Frequency--------- Frequency of flights depends upon the airports and the time of year - for example, at the moment flights from Birmingham to Toronto are every 3 days, flights from London to Toronto are daily, but to Vancouver are only 3 or 4 days a week.

...travel home to the UK. Air Transat. So off to my trusty computer I went and searched for the website. Air Transat has a web site, primarily aimed at the Canadian passenger a bi-lingual country. The opening page offers a choice of viewing language: English or French. On the main homepage, is the heading “Travelling from Europe” and five country links. France, Italy, Germany Holland and UK.

...Rail) and proceeded to the Air Transat check in point. The airline representative welcomed me with a smile, courtesy, and politeness asking the usual questions: Did I pack my baggage myself? Did I leave my baggage unattended at any time? Etc. and wished me a good flight. Looking good I thought and proceeded to venture into the chaos of the Gatwick departure lounge. Due to the combining the Manchester and Gatwick flights embarkation was delayed 1 ... Read review

If you can pay extra, go elsewhere.
Review of Air Transat by nicolasreed

Advantages: Cheap, Direct
Disadvantages: Service

...the the Canadian charter company's Air Transat were offering the best deal and I booked with them. Apart from saving money the other advantage of flying Air Transat was that I could fly to Vancouver without having to change planes (I'm a strong believer that if you don't change planes you have more chance of getting your luggage at the other end and less chance of being delayed). Although I was going to Victoria it was much cheaper to get a ferry ...
...11th. Being a charter Air Transat could not help me change the flight seat (and I understand this from the booking conditions) so I had no choice but to buy a new ticket from Air Transat. Well unless you left earth for a day you will know that September 11th was the awful terrorist attack on America. There I was stood with my Air Canada boarding card for my connection to Vancouver (a treat from a friend) when all flights were cancelled. Air Canada ... Read review

Review of Air Transat by CC2000

Advantages: Very cheap - Half price of British Airways
Disadvantages: Smaller seats; No fancy extras like with BA

Normally, my parents book flights well in advance, and up until now we have always flown British Airways. This Summer, however, we left it much later before booking a holiday, partly because many people say it is cheaper to book late, and partly because we had already booked a flight to Rome in October, making the Summer holiday slightly less important (normally we stay at home during October and have our main holiday in Summer). However it soon ...
...decent holiday at any price, when we went to numerous travel agents with no luck. Finally, we settled with what was probably the best option, which was a charter flight with AirTransat to Toronto, Canada (Departing from Glasgow, A bit over 2 hours away from where I live in Aberdeen). I was not looking forward to the flight as I'd heard that you had to pay for drinks, that you had to purchase the headphones and that the seats were cramped (which ... Read review
