Air Transat is an airline that operates scheduled flights to Canada at affordable prices.
Il Canada it is one of those goals that we have all had in mind at least once in our life. In addition to the fact that it is very far from other destinations, Canada is considered an expensive country and expensive are the flights to get to its main cities. Air Transat offers discounted rates for those who decide to book a trip to Canada, but not only: discounted rates and comfortable services for the whole family.
Air Transat operates scheduled flights and serves 90 destinations in 25 countries.
How do I fly with Air Transat?
The rates in economic class they include both meals and on-board entertainment on individual screens. So we fly well, there is a lot of entertainment both for adults who can enjoy several latest films, some also in Italian, others in English but with subtitles, and many cartoons and games for the little ones to reserved entertainment such as playing cards or albums.
2019 presents for Air Transat a novelty regarding the fare in economic class called eco standard which includes a 23 kg hold baggage, free standard seat selection and a small surcharge in case you want to change the route. Always in economy class, the reserved menu is the bistro one, on all transatlantic flights. For each flight, you can choose between two hot dishes served with salad and a dessert.
Air Transat also offers free open-jaws. This means that you can buy a flight to one destination and then return from another airport at no additional cost. The example is the journey I have just concluded in Canada, departing Rome - Toronto and returning Montreal - Rome. Furthermore, Air Transat allows it stopover for flights booked through travel agents, so you can visit multiple destinations in Canada and make a stopover in Canada of 24 hours or more. There can be one or two stopovers in either direction, in Canada only.
What are the services with Air Transat
Il outbound flight to Toronto it lasted about 9 hours and 50 minutes. The flight departed on time and landed just as punctually at around 17:50 pm, Canadian time. During the flight I saw two movies, had a snack and had lunch. The plane as a whole is clean and functional, the legroom seemed even higher than in the flights previously taken. I have to be honest, the flight was long, but I didn't get up often, enjoyed the movies, took a short nap, enjoyed the meal and played with my son who instead slept for 5 hours each way.
Al return from Montreal to Rome our flight arrived 10 minutes early. A more expensive flight than 7 hours and a few minutes. Flying at night, departing around 20pm from Montreal, we slept most of the time. I watched a film that had intrigued me on the way out but that I hadn't been able to see due to lack of time, had dinner and then had breakfast. The plane arrived at about 9 in the morning.
During the flight, both outward and return we were able to enjoy vegetarian meals, we had blanket and headphones to listen to music and watch movies, but also an eye mask to sleep and be more rested upon arrival.
A curiosity: several times during the flight we heard the hostess and steward ask for a ginger ale. We then discovered, once we arrived in Canada that ginger ale is very fashionable in Canada and that it is a fresh drink that can also be consumed non-alcoholic (or alcoholic on request) based on ginger and lemon.
