I have to say we have flown Air Transat every time we've been to Toronto over the last 4 years & have never had so much of a hiccup with them.
Been looking at prices & up to Nov 13 some of their flights are £43 before you add the rip off taxes.

The only time we were late with them was when pearson airport closed due a massive thunder storm as we were landing & we got diverted to Ottawa as did every flight for several hours, got in 4 hrs late but hardly their fault.

Hi Folks,

If you have not used Globespan before, they come with an advisory!!


Thanks for the link - read it.
We did fly with Globespan in April, I agree with the no frills but when you travel as a party of 6 to be 7 when we land - costs are important.
Like you we found the staff very helpful, again good when travelling with small children.
Glad I read the link, I was unsure if we could land via Hamilton.
Fingers crossed cause I think we will have to use Globespan, mainly as the difference in cost will allow us a bigger hirer car; 4-5 hours drive south to Windsor.

Thats the only time we have used Transat, we were on the ground due to fly out; we were delayed 9 hours!! Airport closed no one in - no one out and no information given to anyone. Tim Hortons ran out of coffee. :curse:

But that wasnt transats fault weather was the worst Ive ever approached an airport in, roads & bridges got washed away even the people who were picking us up had never seen anything like it & they were canadians in their fifties who had seen a bit of canadian weather in their time.The airport were the ones holding back info though from what we could see they hadnt a clue what was going on.

The car hire companies were hit as well as a lot of americans drove to hamilton & other local airports to get back to the US so there were no hire cars at the airport took 3 hours to get our prebooked car.

There was some good news then?

It's all very well for you wealthy ones to egg us youngsters on. Money doesn't come easily when you have a body like mine.

I quite like the idea of pie and chips though.

simon876

Nah. The only whining I get from my bike is me complaining I haven't got my visa yet.
