 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am booking a trip to Whistler with them on Air Transat and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them and any thoughts on service etc.
Thanks

Used them this year. No complaints. Flights were with Thomas Cook as carrier. You can "upgrade" for a reasonable amount - £90 I think it was for their "premium" class and to upgrade legroom in steerage was £40. Actually, we did both. I would recommend the £40 upgrade for legroom rather than the £90 for premier... premier is more like BA of Virgin economy. Steerage more like standard Easy Ryan seats (poss a little unfair).
Would recommend.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I have used them a few times. They are cheap and cheerful, take your own food.
Transat have been the only budget airline to Canada for a couple of years, but there is a new one http://www.sunwing.ca/ pay with your CC for protection.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I used them to go to Banff this year - really good, and their flights with Thomas Cook were cheaper than elsewhere.

Never used them but know lots of people that swear by them. Certainly a good couple of hundred quid cheaper on average than BA or Air Canada. We might use them next year. My only complaint is the schedule - out on Thursday, back on Tuesday, which gives you either 11 or 18 skiing days. Slightly too short or slightly too long.

I've used them 3 times now for (non skiing) family holidays to Vancouver. Cheap & cheerful but still way better than <spit> BA.

Not used them but this thread has made me feel better - gonna use them for a 7/8 week jaunt to Banff via Calgary 
Way cheaper than the alternatives of BA and Air Canada and they go from Manchester instead of the dreaded Heathrow...

Got back with the Thomas cook arm on Sat.
Service was fine. Planes OK although one to UK had no liftable arm rests and tv on a loop so no control.
I beleive Transat have 1 inch more legroom than TC which would be good.

Thanks everyone.
Had been talking to them for a couple of weeks and have just booked for Whistler next Feb.
Just wanted to check as to get the cheapest flights you have to pay for them at the time of booking, although I have to say they were very helpful throughout.
