Re: flying with canadian affair
We've used them several times & will happily continue to use them, found the flights that are actually with 'My Travel' or 'Thomas Cook' fine.
Have already booked our flights (& reserved seats which is nice to be able to do) for when we fly over to do some more 'sorting' & planning for building our house.
We would recommend them, but then we haven't encountered any problems (hope it continues that way)

Re: flying with canadian affair
This often comes up.
Bear in mind that Canadian Affair are a booking agent and not an airline.
Of the airlines that they book for, we have had least problems (and generally pleasant flights) with Thomas Cook, and most problems with MyTravel.
Accordingly, when we book through Canadian Affair we try to select the TCX flights rather than the MYT ones where possible.
We've had near-empty flights on a couple of occasions (can only assume these are positioning rather than market-driven), always coming back from Canada. These are absolutely brilliant if you're lucky enough to get one, especially when in "economy" you have a whole bank of seats to stretch/lie over and far more room than "premium" passengers.
We've also flown with Zoom, Air Transat, and Air Canada, and would select Thomas Cook by preference over all of them.
Cheers, Iain

Re: flying with canadian affair
i booked some flights with can affair, we payed about £350 a couple of months ago, these flights are about £250 now, just out of interest i thought id go through the booking process again, our flight going to vancouver is pretty full, however are return from calgary is pretty empty, being as this flight is only 3 weeks away, im getting a touch worried that the return flight will be cancelled.
can anyone reasure me that i aint got nothing to worry about and the return flight will go as scheduled.
anyone else had a flight with canaffair that was very empty??
cheers

Re: flying with canadian affair
I would just like to add, I've just booked a flight to Vancouver with ZOOM, a little hic-cup during the online booking process, having emailed them with the problem, they rang me from Ontario here in the UK on my mobile twice (very surprised). I was unimpressed with their Glasgow office, but their personnel in Ontario more than made up for it.
