Seat7
FromMontego Bay-Sangster International (MBJ)
ToToronto-Lester B. Pearson International (YYZ)
Very small seat for a male that is 6' 6" tall and weighs 250 lbs. when pre booked for seat selection, type of plane was not made aware of, booking agent looked at different seating plan. Not worth the extra money top rebook seats! Large male stewartest was more interested in serving first class than assisting economy class.

Seats in the exit row should have been good seats but what they don't tell you is that because the tray and the TV are both in the armrest, the seats are reduced in width. It is like sitting in a cigar tube.

ToMontreal-Montréal-pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL)
We flew few times with AT. The last time was a flight to forget. Service was average. The meals lacking taste and quality. You had to chase the on board staff to get served. What turned out to be an eight hour flight the between meal snacks were pitiful and of short supply even if you wanted to pay. EAT A LARGE MEAL BEFORE YOU BOARD. The entertainment screens were poorly positioned . Half the time you could not seen the screenYou had to buy earphones. COME ON MAN.

Have flown with air Transat many times over the last 10 years from Manchester, Birmingham and Gatwick. Only complaint is that recently it has not been possible to upgrade on flights from Toronto unless there are upgrades available at the airport. Not a lot of use if upgrade out with 40kg luggage in 2 suitcases and only 20kg and 1 suitcase on return if only standard class available. Upgrade price not now good value.

Seat43A
FromAthens-Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH)
ToMontreal-Montréal-pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL)
Had to keep reclining the seat throughout the whole flight. Length of seat made for an uncomfortable 9.5 hour flight. Bonus is 2 windows. Trays were dirty/cruddy don't forget your wet ones antiseptic wipes!

Can't add photo's because had my camera stolen inflight...

My wife and I have flown many times with Air Transat and this is my first negative review. Seats were old leather and had seen better days. Cabin temperature was cold for the whole flight, fortunately I had a jacket in my cabin case and had to put it on. Food was probably the worst we have experienced on Air Transat. Rice and peas in a vinagraite for starter (awful) and beef Bourginonne (?) on a bed of pasta for main was not good either. Coffee cup was of a strange and awkward design; the handle was adjacent to the lip and parallel to it which made holding it quite awkward, so obviously bought at cheapest possible price. Cabin crew took ages to serve meal and seemed to be fewer in number. I won't say too much about the entertainment system; too awful to watch. HOWEVER, a fellow passenger said that the fleet is being updated this year. Hope it means an improvement in all departments.

FromAmsterdam
ToToronto
A really old seat, almost no legroom. The seat width is not too bad, but can be better. The seat recline is really poor, I couldn't recline it very much. The entertainment is horrible. They just run a movie on shared screens. I want to see where we are! The quality of the screens is very bad too, I couldn't read it. I had to stand up in order to see what was going on. The food and drink is not good. The taste was horrible, it could be way better. The service is pretty good. I didn't expect it for a cheap price.

It was my first time flying Air Transat since the 90s and what a change . Their new cabins with in-seat TVs look great and is comfortable . The meal was good (and served with a glass of wine) and the crew was very friendly and caring . Considering that their tickets were considerably cheaper than their competitors, i wasn't expecting much and i was surprised to find out how great they are . Air Canada should learn a few things from these guys :)
