Canadian affair-anyone used them?

ecclesto

I am looking to go to Vancouver anytime after 26th September for 3 weeks. I have been told that Canadian Affair are good and they have come up with a very good quote but in their terms and conditions it states that the flight times might be different. Do I trust them?

Canadian Affair = Air Transat.

Have been going for quite a while.

I have read tripadvisor and not too good reviews about leg room and their service.

As NiftyDigits says they have been around for some time. Canadian Affair is one of the largest travel providers to Canada. Air Transat is a Canadian airline. Their seat pitch and service might be marked down by some on review sites but they are often the cheapest airline on many European/Canada/European routes.

You can always pay to upgrade to their premium seats or extra leg room seats if that concerns you. Meals and in-flight entertainment are also available.

All airlines may change their flight schedules. With just a few months to departure I would however have thought the timings pretty much set. Slots would have been secured sometime ago.

I think Air Canada Rouge is getting more of a bashing on review sites at the moment.

Check Air Canada, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic if LHR is a convenient departure point for you and you want a direct service. If however Air Transat is considerably cheaper I'd probably go for them.

Oh and just another thought. Check prices to Seattle. These may be cheaper than Vancouver and it's fairly easy to get from SEA to YVR.

We have used them in the past, had no issues whatsoever.

My wife's parents lived in Calgary for a while so she and they used Air Transat quite a bit for visits as the prices were good. Not exactly luxurious but no problems.

I've used them Gatwick to Toronto. They were fine, and I saved a heap of cash, and got to fly from my local airport, so it was worth it.

We used Canadian Affair 3 years ago for a flight to Toronto and will be using them again in a weeks time , again to Toronto.

No isuses what so ever ( apart form the turbulance off Novia Scotia :eek: strapped in seats for 4 hours )

We even had to called Canadian affair in UK over incorrect ticket details , and they were brilliant !! no admin fees


I am sure BA and Virgin are abit better in terms of comfort , however i know their price was a good £1000+ more !!!

Your only on the plane for 8hrs or so , just sitting down

Air transat gets my vote everytime :T

Thanks for all your advice. I contacted the Flight centre and they found me a good deal, £500 for flight to Vancouver and then phoned back and said when they had gone into book them the price was £599!!!!!!!! None too pleased to say the least.....
