Air Transat seat reviews

(1)CHECK IN
- Dedicated Club Class line makes things a lot smoother.
- Lounge access is via Premium Plaza Lounge in Terminal 3 by Gate 34. This is not included in the ticket price so you pay per passenger. I think that in the future this should be included in the ticket price much like any other airline. I understand TS is a "charter airline" but there should be a provision wherein their premium cabin passengers are given this access.
- Boarding is pretty much standard.

(2)SEATS
- Seat width is 19". I wish they'd match Air Canada's 21"
- Made of dark blue leather.
- Recline is fairly comparable to Economy Class seats.
- No leg rests.
- My overall impression is that the seats are quite worn down and could stand to be replaced. Air Asia, another low cost carrier, has a very decent pared-down premium cabin with lie flat seats. These would definitely go down very well on TS' longer haul flights to Europe.
- Amenity kits were offered on an as-you-need-them basis meaning they went around with bags of stuff and asked Club Class passengers to pick what they needed.
- The biggest disappointment was the lack of an AVOD IFE. I am of the opinion that TS should seriously consider investing in this as they are losing out to other more established airlines.

CATERING:
- Pre-Departure Beverage was offered as well as a small snack bowl of trail mix.
- I don't quite recall if a hot towel service was offered as well (it's been several months since this flight).
- The meal itself was a massive disappointment. The entrees were quite small and were overcooked to the point of mush.
- I appreciate the ability to choose what I wanted to eat several days before my flight but I would rather be surprised by the offerings as long as they were prepared properly.
- I also noticed that after the meal service ended, that pretty much put a close to any beverage service be it coffee or tea or whatever. As there are 2 dedicated flight attendants for Club Class, perhaps a quick round once every 45 minutes would be ideal?

(3)OVERALL IMPRESSION
- I would fly TS again. I just wish they flew to a lot more destinations regularly and not just seasonally.
- The A310 is a nice powerful aircraft albeit getting on in years. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing TS livery on a 777-200.
- I do strongly recommend that TS Management consider replacing their Club Class seats and getting an AVOD IFE. It would make travelling ever more pleasant.
- Also, if TS could see its way to creating a Frequent Flyer program, I think they would stand a good chance of retaining a lot more business.

It is very hard to judge this flight because it was just a tour around Quebec City. Overall it was a great flight, good service and a nice airplane too.

Overall, the flight to Orlando was a comfortable flight. The seating was a bit crammed, but for a three hour flight it was tollerable. Food was great and good prices make short trip amazing.

Even at 5'8", the Air Transat transatlantic flight seats were terribly cramped. With forward seat reclined, it is claustrophobic. A preponderance of family vacationers make for excited travellers, standing passengers, and a noisy cabin throughout the night. The mid-flight meal forces everyone to wake up as no-one can use their tray tables while the forward seat is reclined. Not worth the discount unless the whole family is flying.

We travelled Club Class on this trip. The difference in price, compared to economy, is a little bit too much. But if you want the perks,go for it! I think it is worth it.
