Xmas flights
 
Does anyone know when AirTransat usually has their christmas flights out? I called them and they said June would be when they are available but I still see nothing online. Tried calling them twice since but was just placed on cont. hold. I don't ever remember waiting this long to be able to book a christmas flight.

Thanks.

Thanks but that can't be right. I put my dates in and only two flights come up a week apart and not even for the dates I entered. I will have to call and stay on the phone I guess. They are closed until tomorrow.

I've just priced up flights for four people - scary! Calgary to London (Heathrow or Gatwick, doesn't matter which)

Air Canada - $6,300
British Airways - $5,300
Air Transat - $4,700

Don't think we'll be going this year.

(Why are the taxes and surcharges more than the flight? Why don't sites just put the final price? blah, blah but it bugs me ;) )

lol I thought there was a new thing where they had to put the full price including all charges. I want to fly from Toronto to Manchester.

Maybe there's only two flights per week? When my father in law used them they didnt fly every day of the week.

Air Transat only have two flights a week from Calgary - the dates rarely fit with my annual leave plans. ;)

This was bugging me so I called again. They will not have their flights out until mid August. They must be delayed because of the Olympics etc.
