  • Today I’m flying 7 hours on America's "Best" Leisure Airline. This is Air Transat the number 1 best rated leisure airline in ALL of North America. According to some reviews people disagree with this… so today I bought a flight for $700 just so we could see what they are ACTAULLY LIKE! I’m gonna be showing you everything Air Transat has to offer from the inflight experience to what their staff are like and along the way I have two surprises planned for us to make things even better such as an exclusive lounge review so sit back and enjoy!

    Fun fact this route was the very route that Air Transat 236 was involved in, the plane ran out of fuel over the Atlantic and was able to glide to the Azores and made a safe landing after gliding for 15 minutes.

    The reason your back is destroy is that most a330 use the normal 2-4-2 seat configuration, bus TS use 3-3-3 so it's less comfortable. BTW, you should try air transat a321neo LR. Like the video

    I did board on Air Transat before COVID from YYZ to YYC. Nice staff and friendly cabin crew. They offered complimentary free checked baggage when I did my check-in, but I was shocked with the 3-3-3 configuration in A330 economy class when I went on board.

  • @koiukii

    As an aviation enthusiast, ive watched your video and investigated the layout and structure of the aircraft. i also decided to analyze what was provided in the video. if your spinal area is in pain after 7 straight hours of flying, (of course, this is typically normal for long haul flights) most short duration flight aircrafts have a circular rooftop while long haul flights have a more squared rooftop for maximum comfort and leaning on the walls for sleep, whatever you need to do to sleep. however, i noticed that the transat flight to lisbon you took had a circular ceiling and since you leaned on the wall to sleep, its likely that the walls were curved so much, you couldnt really use it for proper rest. because transat is a cheaper option, it wont have top of the line equipment. for the price, transat is reasonable and a good idea to fly. they are very budget friendly. but if you are like me and cant tolerate airplane food, i recommend bringing your own food to eat and ask for additional aircraft snacks if needed. thanks for your time!

    Eric, it was a very sad memory for me to look at the food service at both lounges. The poor food service reminded me of what I had when I worked for a North American cruise line. Always the same food for as long as 5 years.
    Interesting how inaccurate those online seating maps happen to be. Considering it is from the official airline page, this is unacceptable! It shows there is a seat missing in the middle when actually there is nothing like this onboard.
    Meals onboard Air Transat seem abysmal, especially the meal in the early morning. A "banana" sandwich!
    I never manage to sleep onboard these Economy Class seats either.
    A good review Eric.

    You were lucky to get an Airbus. I'm 6'2" and flew their other plane type, and my knees literally jammed into some metal or hard plastic into the seat in front of me. I was lucky that their staff was kind enough to move people around, so the seat beside me became free, allowing me to spread my legs wide into that space. I really don't know what I would have done with that kindness. I have never had that issue with WestJet or Air Canada. We really do need minimum standards in seat pitch and size.

    I didn't think they have a Montreal-Algiers route, I don't see them regularly or even never saw them 😂😂

    Airbus A330 is the most comfortable plane in the sky these days, in its standard 8-abreast seating. However, the 9-abreast makes it the narrowest... even more narrow than the densified B777 and B787.

    The legroom is great. Why didn't you show us the whole meal? And the breakfast?

    Hi there! I also have the America Express card, my husband and mother-in-law will travel with me. Can they accompany me? Or would they also have to have the card to skip the line?

    You should try flying Southwest because I searched it up and google said that it was a really bad airline

    Well seeing what you have been through, the seats were bad but at least you had entertainment, I have flown on an airline with non of those for five hours and it was a good thing smartphones exist I hated it. That airline operates with a 777 now and that is totally different though I wondered what happened to the boring A319's I flew on. For a 7 hours + flight give me EK any day.
