#airtransat #a321lr #yyz
I actualy felt alittle teary eyed looking at the pre covid hustle and bustle
(I was in a 9-flight U S. trip 4/18-23/2021. All flights were packed to the gunwales and the airports very busy. DFW's numbers now exceed pre-COVID! We're coming back with a vengeance!)
@@mrc6182 umm, how though??
Here all the borders are closed and there are NO FLIGHTS. Why are people flying when COVID is around???
@@Qatari2007 because people are being vaccinated. You anti vaxxer
3:22 Love that smoky startup :D
It looked like a diesel engine coughing!
me no. instead of Felix I would have thought it was a BIG problem 🥶🥶🥶
Really nice report, like how large the IFE screens are!
😂
Wait, was that serious or were you making fun of the people who always say that.
Just it’s hard to say lol
Ive loaded and offloaded C-GOIE multiple times in CYUL while working on the ramp there! Glad you enjoyed your flight! 😁🇨🇦
i live in toronto
have you seen C-GITS before it went into storage
tsas??
I have traveled the Gatwick to Calgary route numerous times and found Air Transat to be a great airline.
Great Trip Report! Nice to see Air Transat have upgraded their fleet with the new Airbus Aircraft! ✈️
Simply Aviation is the best.....love it !
The intro were so beautiful, explained the main flight purpose. Good job sir!!
I like the outro. The takeoff and landing clips are very satisfying to watch :). I will do as much as I can to support Simply Aviation!
Smooth touchdown
Nicely done, Felix! I love watching your trip reports.
Thanks 🙏
@@simply_aviation fun fact: this is a long range A321NEO
Nice trip report! I haven’t flown Air Transat in years.. I was surprised to see how much leg room you had and how nice the meals looked. Good stuff. Love the A321LR’s.
Great TR!:) I love your intro with map and moving plane!:)
My very first flight was with Air Transat from LGW to Toronto on a Lockheed L1011 back in 1997, all those years ago. Only difference is we flew from Gatwick South terminal. I thoroughly enjoyed this, great video.🙂👍👍✈️
I flew with Air Transat in 2011 and had a similar experience aboard one of their A-330's. Friendly staff, food was good, enough leg room (I'm fairly tall). I'll fly with them again when time comes.
Omg my favorite aviation RUclipsr doing a trip report on one of my favorite airlines.
finally! wanted this report for quite a long time
Love these new intro graphics, still remember the old days before these, thanks for upping the quality of the content 👏👏👏
Simply Aviation never fails to impress me.
Yes another trip report man I cant wait to watch
Glad you enjoyed my hometown airline! 😄
Should i move to canada? will canadians accept a korean teenage girl
Of course, but will they accept an African teenage boy? 🤔🤔
@@dariustanz3410 ofcourse why not
2:27 straight up triggered me 😂
I know right.
Facts
@@shahimagesyt you people are werid
@@jamelfergusson Facts
lol so true!
Wow. Jan'20 what a throwback! Great video!! Still triggered by the coughing in the video - you wouldn't have known at the time but its startling
...
I love your videos so much!
Nice!! Glad you reviewd Transat I really like flying their NEO and it is a nice airline
I flew the same aircraft on TAP Air Portugal, roundtrip Washington, DC - Lisbon. And I was also very pleasantly surprised by the 321.
Gr8 video m8! Good video as per usual!
These videos hype me up for holiday i couldn't thank you more a definite sub from me
Greetings from California USA 🇺🇸 love your video I fly very often to my native country Costa Rica 🇨🇷
One day, this channel will soar to the greatest heights! Excellent report Felix!
My last trans Atlantic narrow body flight was on a TWA 707 from JFK-ZRH 7/1974. My two sisters and mother sat about 3 rows behind FC on the left hand side of the aircraft.
Quality review as always! 👍
Nice trip report! I like the large, modern and responsive IFE. Legroom might be better on a widebody, but still seems good for this flight.
Howdy, awesome trip report as always and that seemed like a great flight! For non Av-Geeks, I don’t think there would be too big of a difference between an A321 and an A330 in Economy, it’s business class where you can really see the difference! Also, that pilot really buttered that landing, or Felix has super steady hands!😸
Great little Video! Many thanks
Love the channel ❤.
Nice aircraft too,service looks good for economy.
Smooooother A321 Neo!!! 💎
I love the sound of a taking off plane.
Very Nice Intro!!! ❤
Really interesting video Felix its good to see transatlantic flight in narrow body aircraft.
Those airbuses are amazing
Smooth landing.
The inside part of this plane is so beautiful
Great Report Felix, welcome to YYZ
I like your videos mate, you offer an insight into the flights that a lot of us travel maybe once a year. It actually helps us to choose which airline suits us better. Well done!!!
Very nice report ……very decent service …..IFE looks great.
Really awesome!
I love your vids simlpy aviation
Nice to see the last of long haul flying right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Can't wait to experience these flights again!
Simply Aviation I love your videos
Love it very enjoyable video to watch it all
Really nice landing from the pilot..
Very nice!!
I just took this trip yesterday and it was a great flight. Much more room than westjet offered on their Dreamliner in the opposite direction.
Also looking forward to the A321XLR
EPIC!!!!!
Nice im flying in 2 weeks to Orlando on southwest I will be coming home on a 737-800 and I’m really excited haven’t flown in 11 months
Great report👍❤️
Great trip report
It's good we could see air transat as it gonna acquire by air canada as it is a good trip report and hope you make air transat a330 soon and by the smoke we could say this aircraft is starting long ago
Quel plaisir de découvrir de nouvelles vidéos, toujours aussi intéressantes et enrichissantes ; ) good ;)
Je ne comprend pas
@@Utd_YT What a pleasure to discover new videos, also always interesting and enriching ; ) bien ; )
I'm vibin' to the intro music!
I hade last year booked a trip to Zagreb Split Croatia with Air Transat but it was canceled so can’t wait to book again my 5 year old boy he loves it . Nice job 👍
The future of airline/flying.
Air Transat, now that’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile! I mainly remember this airline for the a330 that had the fuel leak over Portugal. It’s great to see this airline still around and doing well today! I wouldn’t mind flying on Air Transat someday. Great trip report as always:)
The fuel leak was over the Atlantic Ocean on the way to Lisbon. Luckily, they glided the plane to the Azores after running out of fuel.
@@OwlRTA I read about that story. Sheesh, that was a close one.
Nice flight report.
Very nice video!
👏✈👍
Enjoyed the trip report, but would like to remind you we've been crossing the Atlantic on narrow-body aircraft for years, first with DC-3/C-47's, then Lockheed Constellations and DC-7's, and finally with 707 and DC-8 jets.
When I see the three letter code YYZ on the screen it reminds me in the song by canadian band Rush. A Hommage on Toronto's international airport.
Great video! I remember back in 2011 doing the yyz/lgw with Thomas Cook on the a321! Back when you could pay for duty free with £ notes!
Umm, why can’t you pay in Pounds anymore?
@@Qatari2007 I guess I didn’t specify. I apologize. I meant the duty free on the aircraft. As you were in flight. Everything is done with credit card now on most major carriers.
@@t.jwoodland6962 wtf why???
Thank u for video :) i like 2 visit Toronto :) :) maybe in 2023, i miss travelling ): ): stay safe , enjoy your flight 🙂🙃🇬🇧
This new A321N-ER from Air Transat is like an entirely new product. Its fresh, clean and looks very appealing, seat pitch is generous for a 7 hour flight from the UK.
Not so sure about longer flights, Athens/Toronto is almost 11 hours. Felix, you and David keep pulling magic from your aviation bag, thanks so much.
I used to fly New York to Athens on Boeing 707s' and there was no problem.
@@semsemeini7905The 707/120B was 147 feet long and carried 110 passenger's 6 abreast in 2 classes, A321N is shorter at 146 feet but they pack in 199 passengers 6
abreast in 2 classes, seat pitch is 31 inches in economy/coach. The 707 economy seat had about 38 inches of leg room so you could stretch out, relax and really
enjoy the experience. If your over 5`10 and doing a 10 hour flight, its not going to be fun, the true cost of adding 89 more seats to a smaller aircraft.
You could of course pay for a *Premium extra leg room seat* - usually an emergency exit row, up front or bulk head seat, extra $450 for return flight.
I miss flying and Gatwick
yay another ne video!
I agree with talor nice vid
really nice video!
I wonder when Air Transat moved to the North Terminal? Their check-in desks were always in a dank little corner of the South Terminal.
It’s due to Gatwick temporarily closing the south terminal due to COVID travel restrictions.
@@daniels.aviation this was filmed in January 2020, just before everything went horribly wrong.
@@waynej747 are u sure
Who knew that a couple of months from this flight that we would all be in lock down.
I hope to fly on Air Transat one day
Awesome! Love the A321LR so much!
Great trip report! I'm glad Air Canada isn't taking over Air Transat, have to keep the variety open :)
I hope Air Belgium will become like Air Transat so we can get something else than expensive Brussels Airlines
I went to Canada using Air Transat. It was my first long haul trip. Unfortunately I was so disappointed that it became my least favourite airline. I learned from that bad experience when it comes to choosing airlines. (That was over a decade ago...)
My next long haul was a trip to Hong Kong and onwards to Japan. I chosen Cathay Pacific. It turned out to be the best airline thus made my holiday the best experience.
I decided to watch this video to see if Air Transat has changed and to my surprised, it looked like it has changed a lot. I may use Air Transat again for future trip to Canada. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Comparing Air Transat to Cathay is like Walmart to Chanel LOLLLL, the competitor of Cathay would be Singapore Airline I guess?
The XLR coming soon to an airline near you across the pond to many, many city pairs.
Hello Simply Aviation! Great video as always! On 14 October you will be on the last Alitalia flight, right? And please, document one of the first flights of ITA - Italia Trasporto Aereo! ;)
Flown across the Atlantic many times with Air Transat and with any luck will do so again in September.
September 2023, 2024? Which year?
I love your videos very much. When you are upload a video I have smile face. You have creative ideas. Greetings from Colombo in sri lanka
3:53 aaaaahh!!! 💡😂
its amazing
good video!
Welcome to my "hometown", how I see it...
The cabin layout and not the number of aisles is what makes the difference. You can cram a lot of people into a wide-body aircraft as easily as you can a narrow-body aircraft. Granted, a wide-body makes it possible to have a more robust premium economy section (with seats equivalent to US domestic First Class/Euro Business class), but there's a lot an airline can do with seating layout and service to make a long flight in a narrow-body aircraft more pleasant, or at least tolerable.
In 2007 I took a transatlantic flight on a narrow body. Continental Airlines offered for a short time a connection between Cologne, Germany and Newark.
They took a Boeing 757.
Nothing wrong with it.
Wow, the world was normal :)
Air transat really good service
4:22 Hey your plane catches fire there
Yes there are advantages with a twin isle, but when will the automatic haters realise that more than 90% of the journey is in your seat. I for one prefer the wider seats on the A320 series to the narrower 737, but give me an extra 2 inches of legroom any day!
The overall in-flight experience is affected more by the quality of your seat and amount of personal space, coupled with the food and refreshments available or provided, along with the quality of service the cabin crew give - not the number of isles!
Second this. I flew KEF-SEA on a 757 in 2019 and it was pretty nice. We got free water bottles and the food was good.
I flew from EWR to BCN in 2014 for a cruise in a 757, it was comfortable. I sat in aisle seats. The airbus is not my favorite aircraft.
the food was only for Vegans - what about the meat eaters?
@Harold Yeoh the 787 was actually designed as a 2-4-2 but airlines weren't happy so it was changed to a 3-3-3 layout and has some of the narrowest seats of ANY commercial aircraft. Not fun on the Vancouver to Hong Kong route!
Love it
i never see in a your video a A321NEO LR, it's the first time
i love it
I love love love your reviews, but I wish there was more in depth review of meals.. it's always "all in all", "overall" a good meal haha. So nice of you guys but it's hard to understand which airlines really provide the better catering :D
Thank you guys for such an amazing trip reports, I am still waiting for dubai to heathrow trip report. I hope it will be here soon.
There are already done by British airways new a350
