Corsair
Has anyone used this airline? If so, what are they like? Flights seem really cheap but just wondered how reliable they are?

Re: Corsair
I looked at their offers page and they didn't look that cheap. Compare with flights from London and paying in £ sterling - or dollars.

Re: Corsair
on a flight from Canada to Paris,they are more than half the price of Air Canada, Air France, etc. but I've never heard of them or know of anyone who has flown with them, that's why I was asking if anyone has any experience of flying with them

Re: Corsair
my son wants to bring his girlfriend from Halifax, Nova Scotia to visit us in Normandy. They are looking at August, which is probably the most expensive time of all to fly. I looked on Opodo and there is a direct flight with Corsair from Halifax to Orly, but as I've never heard of them, was just worried about booking the flight, even though it's under 500 euros return, taxes included. Closest with Zoom is almost double that. Unfortunately Halifax is a bit out on a limb so flights are usually more expensive than if flying from Montreal or Toronto. Zoom were doing Halifax to Paris last year, obviously didn't make money as it's not operating this year. If they use any of the other carriers they have to connect, whereas this one is direct. Just trying to make life a bit easier for them as she's never left Nova Scotia before and is in for a bit of a culture shock. She thinks Halifax is a BIG city

Re: Corsair
Its a part of the TUI group which owns Thomson holidays which also has its own cheap airline.

Re: Corsair
Corsair are reported as having carried a record of 587 seats on their 747-400. Their A330-200 appear to be configured for 355 seats. So if it’s a peak-season, popular route and you love thy neighbour (packed tight), you’ll love Corsair.
