Canada 3000

Advantages: Cheap, good leg room, good food
Disadvantages: Only flown once so hard to tell. None on first experience

...been a regular traveller to Canada over the years one of the most important aspect to me is the flights. This can set you up for a great holiday or doom you to a horrible time. There is nothing worst than a poor flight before (or even worst the way back). I have traveled using various airlines and think I have now found the best of the lot for the money you spend. Canada 3000 is a budget airline specialising, as the name suggests, flight to Canada. ...
...to fly out again to Calgary. The flights are always competitivly priced, but what set it apart for me was the actual flight experience. Being 6ft 3in I dread not being able to get leg room and rely often on getting emergancy exits etc. However even on the normal seats the flight was spacious with enough leg room to stretch out. The food was good and the entertainment up to date. The actual plane looked brand new and was on time. ALthough I have ... Read review

Advantages: Sometimes cheaper than others
Disadvantages: Terrible customer service, old planes, can be just as expensive as others

Canada 3000 is, for a budget airline, not bad. However, lately I've noticed that its prices are not very low at all, which totally defeats the purpose - you might as well fly on a better airline if you're paying such high fares. Here are the pros that I experienced in flying with Can3000: - prices were cheaper than through any other airline - however, that was in summer 1999, and when we were looking for flights in winter 2000 Can3000 was actually ...
...to get my relatives in Canada to book flights for me from there, saving money because buying the flights in Canadian dollars is cheaper than in sterling; but I believe that this is no longer possible... - they fly to lots of different places in Canada! If you do happen to find a cheap flight with Can3000, get ready for budget features. The cons: - overworked staff who do not take requests properly (my partner and I logded our requests for vegetarian ... Read review

Canada 3000 is a charter airline so I didn’t really expect much from them apart from a cheap flight to Toronto. In reality, the service was very good – the flight attendants were all very helpful, the food tasted good and the in-flight entertainment was great. The airline also offered a wide choice of duty-free items for those who wanted to buy anything during the flight. The journey itself was very pleasant as the seats were very comfortable and ...

Advantages: A cheap way to see Iceland if you can spare the time
Disadvantages: Not the quickest route to Vancouver

...hopefully, not last experience of Canada 3000 involved a return flight to Vancouver from Gatwick - not the shortest of journeys, and being over 6' the prospect of a non-stop 12 hour flight fills me with nothing but dread. I was relieved to find that non-stop doesn't apply. After a mere 2 hours in the air, we touched down at Rekyavik for an hour or so - hardly time to visit the tax-free shop but a useful stretch of the legs. I believe they offer a ...
...even doing it my way, you can say that you've been to the most northerly duty-free shop in the world! Then it's off again to Edmonton, a flight of about 6-7 hours, but as the longest leg of the journey, it's only about the length of a typical trans-atlantic flight. After refuelling, and half of the passengers getting off, we could spread out with window seat each, whilst crossing the Rockies. The overall feel of the flight certainly exceeded my ... Read review

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! ... Read review
