Avoid Air Transat

Advantages: Prices look good
Disadvantages: What you purchase is not necessarily what you get

...to Mexico (from VAncouver) with Air Transat. What we bought is NOT what we got. We booked the holiday 6 weeks before departure. With less than 3 weeks before departure, Air Transat changed the package such that we were now going for 6 days instead of 7. On top of that, instead of leaving Mexico in the afternoon, we were expected to leave at midnight. We have four children 8 years old and under, and this would have been quite hard to do, especially ...
...6 and not 7 nights, Air Transat offered no reduction in the price of our package. We (and our travel agent) tried contacting Air Transat and found them unhelpful and at times down right rude. They would not honour our reservation at any other time and bascially told us that if we were unhappy, we could just cancel (which we did). We really felt that they have very little regard for their customers. I strongly feel that as consumers, we need to have ...

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 ...

More Travel for Me

Advantages: Easy Registration, Multiple ways to Earn
Disadvantages: errors can occur

...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. And soon, I was reaping the benefits. Registration Registration was easy. I registered through their website at http://www.aeroplan.com . Here I clicked on registration and in a few minutes, I had a number and I could print out a temporary card. My friend told me that phone registry is also ...
...1) StarAlliance Because Air Canada is a member of Star Alliance, I can earn miles on other Star Alliance Airlines such as United, British Midlands, All Nippon Airways, SAS and many others. 2) Banking and Credit Cards I also can earn at the CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerence) Here, they have an AeroMortgage on which your mortgage earns miles and the AEROGOLD Visa card also earns miles. 3) Future Shop At Future Shop (Canada's Largest Electronics ...

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

NO to TAP, never again

Advantages: good food, good on air service
Disadvantages: delays, very bad on ground services, bad and wrong informations

...over Lisbon Our experience with TAP was actually pretty bad. We booked direct flights from Stockholm to Lisbon. Before that we had to come to Stockholm first from another town of Sweden and in Lisbon we changed flight again with TAP to go to Funchal. Aproximatly 1 month before the trip (when prices where already very expensive for flights to funchal) we got the information that our flight back will be led over Oslo. this ment for us, we will reach ...
...the street infront of the TAP office. So the day we traveled home, we waited there already 20minutes before the bus started...and waited ... and waited.... and waited... But no bus came. So we had to take this very expensive taxi instead. summarized, I do NOT recommend to anybody this Company!!! Its a very very bad service - at least on the ground. The service in the plane and all can be as nice as it is, the things around are just crappy. We spent ...
