I always fly Air Transat when I go home to Manchester. The leg room is decent, prices are reasonable and the cabin staff are generally very pleasant. I download their inflight entertainment app onto my ipad and then I can choose any of their film and TV show options to watch. I have had one major delay out of over 20 flights and that was due to a snowstorm and issues at the airport - not airline related.

I edited to change curfew to limited landing slots (within about 2 minutes of posting)
as per
https://www.torontopearson.com/en/co...g-restrictions
if you scroll down to Night operations, they limit the number of slots and you can bet there aren't many spare up for grabs !

Well, there was a time when night landings were not allowed at Vancouver Airport. I think at one time it was no landings between midnight and 5 am.
No longer applies of course!

The ground staff had so little information that at one point Transat were tweeting passengers (including me) different info to what the handling agents were telling us. It was a farce.

I have never flown with Air Transat, was never inclined to do so after experience relations had on almost annual flights with them between about 1990 to 2009.
They always insisted on booking on Air Transat, even though they always had problems, on the ground, in the air, delays, etc etc etc.
The worst was the last trip made by any of them when my niece came over, she had the middle seat in the row and the seat was broken. She has a bad back, and was in pain by the time she arrived here. She complained to the air crew and online, was thanked, apologies made, and assured that the seat would be repaired. The plane was full and no empty seats.
3 weeks later she travelled back, middle seat in the row .......... and it was EXACTLY that same seat, un-repaired. She complained to the air crew, but the plane was full and there were no empty seats for her to move to.
Again complaints were made, apologies made, no compensation ............... and it was 6 months of various treatments before her back was OK
