Re: cheap one way flights
 

Air Transat offers one-way fares in general that aren't an arm and a leg.

LGW to YYZ is USD599.40 nonstop

Also checkout returns as when I was booking tickets last month it was cheaper to book a return than a one way!!!

Re: cheap one way flights
 

Okay so I can weigh in a bit here as I've had some experience with it.

If you book a return flight with the intention of skipping the outbound leg and using the return, you will get into trouble. If you miss or cancel the first leg of your ticket, the airline assumes (logically) that you are no longer in your destination and therefore are not going to be using the return leg, so your whole ticket is voided and cancelled. Don't do that.

If you book a return flight with the intention of only using the OUTBOUND leg and skipping the return, then technically you can do that (as you are already in the destination), but you are likely to forfeit any frequent flyer miles you accumulated on our outbound journey, which may or may not be a big deal. Technically you can do it, though. Call the airline before your return leg to tell them you have to cancel. You'll likely not get a refund on the ticket, but they may refund some of the airport fee or taxes. Not guaranteed but might be worth a shot. Of course they'll try to rebook you onto another flight, up to you if you take them up on it.

Lastly make sure you aren't going to have immigration problems when you show up in a country without an onward ticket. If you have status in that country (citizen, PR, etc) then it shouldn't be a problem, but if entering as a tourist or visitor, then you may find yourself in hot water.

HTH.

the only thing positive about Air Transat is the price.

Don't expect any friendly service, or any form of reliability.

They are only a choice if you need to get to and from Canada quickly and cheaply.

Re: cheap one way flights
 

Completely agree. A return flight is twice the cost of a one-way flight. Nice and simple and easy.

And +1 for Air Transat in that they are the only airline that has a good policy for taking a bike on board!! They just charged a £20 fee for "special baggage"... both Air Canada and British Airways wanted to charge for an additional suitcase ($50-100) PLUS an additional $50 charge for "special handling" since it's a bike - what the hell! I don't think so. SO even though I gave up Aeroplan points to move back to Canada using Air Transat, my ticket was about a billion times cheaper - money saved was worth way more than the lost points! :P

And honestly the service was fine. You don't get drinks included, but for the $5 for a wine or whatever it's worth it considering the price otherwise was much cheaper. I was on one of the redone planes with the seatback entertainment which was pretty good. The flight was uneventful and their food is no better or worse than flying cattle class on any of the other airlines.

No complaints overall with Transat!

:goodpost:

Agreed. Flown with them lots of times and cant complain. Always on time. A tip for flying with them too - pick the aisle seat (not from the middle sections of seats but the outer seats) at the back of the plane in the first couple of rows where it changes from 3-4-3 to 2-4-3. You get alot more room!

Being a young family with budget constraints, we'll always travel via the cheapest airline/route (usually Air Transat).

I remember one year, one of the stewardess' was walking by me and she spilled a pot of hot coffee down my back. Fortunately, no serious burns, but obviously I jumped out of my seat and shouted "ouch" (or something similar ;)).

"What? I didnt do it on purpose!"... and off she walked. No "I'm so sorry sir", no, "here, let me get you cleaned up". That was it.:thumbsup:

Re: cheap one way flights
 

Another happy Air Transat customer here. Obviously if work is paying I'll want BA first class all the way but when I'm trying to grub together enough to fly myself, Air Transat do it for me!

Always check the Air Transat site and then try the same details with Canadian Affair who seem to be a front for Air Transat but sometimes 50 dollars cheaper :confused:

Re: cheap one way flights
 

Worth noting that sometimes there isn't that much price difference between them... a few times I've gone to book and will find that something like BA is maybe £60-70 or even £100 more expensive than Transat... however, Transat charges £20 per person per leg for seat reservation, which means that if Husband and I want to sit together, that's £80 we are potentially forking out... and now BA is only £20 cheaper. Also, from where we lived in London, Heathrow was definitely the more accessible airport so there was a bit of a convenience premium as well for flying in and out of Heathrow instead of Gatwick.

Generally just saying not to knock Transat because they are a charter airline - they're maybe not quite as fancy as BA/AC, but they aren't that far behind. :)
