An airline we'd definitely use again!

Advantages: Great cabin crew
Disadvantages: Limited due to being a budget airline; food wasn't so great

...travelling to Canad recently was Air Transat. In all honesty, we had no dealing with them apart from getting on and off the plane, as everything was pre-booked and pre-paid with the travel operators beforehand. We arrived and booked in just over 3 hours before the flight left Gatwick for Canada, and this was smooth and painless, despite an employee going through the line saying they had overbooked and did anyone want to volunteer to postpone their ...
...right up until we left Air Transat's care. To sum up, everything they did was lovely and of high efficiency. They are a budget airline in many ways, so I am aware of limitations and that certain standards may not be the same as other, more expensive airlines. The food wasn't great, and the TVs were shared. There were limits on the service only because there were narrow aisles and only a certain speed they could serve the food, but no one else on ...

Review of Air Transat

Full service? I Think not!

Advantages: Very few
Disadvantages: Not full service

We choose to fly Air Canada (Aug 2007) from Toronto to LA as it was the national airline. Even though ticket prices were considerably higher than anticipated we choose Air Canada secure in the knowledge that the flight was an international flight and the service, seating etc was as high a standard as any national airline. We were horrified to discover that their ageing aircraft A319 was configured for sardines and way below international standards. ...
...the seams. Were we on Air Nigeria? The trolleys that moved between the aisles had about an inch or two to spare as they completely blocked the passage. Aisle seat passengers could easily loose a toe if not vigilant. Heaven forbid if there was a sudden emergency. The heavily laden trolleys required two attendants to push them along. If you chose to use the toilets at the back you would have to wait for a good 40 minutes. The single toilet in the ...

...this, I fly my countries air carrier Air Canada quite often. Now because of this, I decided to become a member of their Frequent Flyer Program called Aeroplan.

Review of Air Canada Aero Plan

meh....

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: cramped, bad service, bad food

Canada 3000's only advantage is it's price, when flying within Canada I suggest West Jet, you typically have more leg room, the customer service is incredible from the in flight jokes to the helpful and friendly stewartesses to the pilot coming out to thank you for flying West Jet is a much more relaxing way to fly. I once flew from Toronto to Vancouver on Canada 3000 and was not impressed. The flight was very long, the attendants were grumpy, the ...
...flights. I would reccomend taking another airline if possible, West Jet is cheaper and much better, where others such as Air Canada are more expensive but also more enjoyable. Also the food on planes is never good however, the food on Canada 3000 was exceptionally bad. Hope this was helpful! ...

Review of Canada 3000

Monarch premium rip off

Advantages: A way to get rid of money for nothing in return
Disadvantages: cash for nothing

We paid for the premium upgrade to Kenya and it was a disgrace. The flight was late leaving Manchester and the crew who were leaving the flight in Paris virtually threw our breakfast at us. The plane was dirty, we had no extra leg room, there was no priority check in or boarding. the welcome on board drink was a plastic tub of orange juice. The choice of wines was red or white! we were visited throughout the flight by people from economy who managed ...
...seat in premium. The staff were rude. The food was average. I went to economy and the leg room was great. Their food was the same but in plastic tubs, so what! Never again! I did however manage to get a full refund from the tour operator Thomas Cook, not via their complaints department which was useless but by emailing their Chief Executive. ...
