...Air Canada
On my recent trip to Toronto from Manchester (sse my review of the Hilton Toronto!), I decided to fly using the direct service form Manchester to Toronto. This direct route operates daily departing Manchester at 11.35 and arriving mid-afternoon. It departs Toronto for the return flight at 10pm arriving back in Manchester mid-morning.
During the summer (and peak tourist) months, the airline adjusts its two class system from Business and Economy and Premium Economy and Economy. With basic economy flights starting at around £350.00 & taxes, we opted for the premium economy flights at a price of £500.00 & taxes (approx £612.00 per person flying).
Booking:
I booked using the Air Canada website. As I like to know what I am getting myself into I had done quite a lot of research before hand about Air Canada including...

Advantages: More Economy Class Legroom Than Other Airlines Disadvantages: Your Baggage May Not Arrive With You
...My partner and I booked a holiday to Paris in August, partly for the World Athletics Champs, and partly because being from the other side of the world, we'd never been there before, so it seemed like a good opportunity to go.
I booked the flights directly on Virgin Travel (online travel agency). The return economy tickets from Heathrow to Charles de Gaulle cost £65 each, which was cheaper than the Eurostar, and other airlines.

About the flight itself, it was fine (both ways). I cannot comment on the food, as the flight was short (45 mins or so), so you only get a cup of coffee, and biscuits etc. These seemed...

...I absolutely HATE Air France.
I recently took my partner on an extended weekend (5 days) for her Birthday to New York. My only mistake was booking with Air France.
The hotel was great, weather, food everything but the travel.
We had a 6 hour delay at Manchester which meant arriving late into Paris CDG. We had missed our connection and were told that we wouldnt be getting to New York today !!! Easily said, very hard to take. They suggested that if we did want to get to NYC today then they could fly us to Montreal CANADA !! We took this option because we really wanted to get to NYC and the accomodation was already paid for (5 Star Manhattan Hotel) We left Paris and arrived in Canada (but our luggage didnt) we ended up being delayed again and staying in Montreal overnight then onto NYC in the morning.
We finally arrived in NYC...
