Default Air Transat now fly out of B'ham...and cheap too!

Hi All
Thought I would let you all know of the new route that Air Transat have now added.
Before they only flew out of Manchester or Gatwick, but they now fly out of Birmingham as well direct to Toronto.
Canadian Affair used to be the best ones to use, but I have now found that Air Transat are the best priced airline to use. (I have flown with them a couple of times and find them to be as good as any other airline)

I am planning on going to Canada in October and the best price is £259.41 return, inc taxes and surcharges.

If anyone knows of a better airline to use that is cheaper than this, then please let me know!!
Thanks

I am due to come in August to Calgary for the second time with Transat and found them ok. No complaints at all.

Cheapest by far is Zoom Airlines a friend of mine is using them in July - not sure if they go from Brimingham yet though

Sunwing.com and Air India are now also flying to UK/ Canada - good more competition should mean cheaper flight

Your Title to this post should read................

Air Transat now fly out of B'Ham...and Crap too!

Only my opinion...But from experience I found them to be awful...that said and done if you need to keep the cost down, and don't mind how you travel...then use them.
