Flying 7 Hours in Air Transat Economy Class

Today I’m flying 7 hours on America's "Best" Leisure Airline. This is Air Transat the number 1 best rated leisure airline in ALL of North America. According to some reviews people disagree with this… so today I bought a flight for $700 just so we could see what they are ACTAULLY LIKE! I’m gonna be showing you everything Air Transat has to offer from the inflight experience to what their staff are like and along the way I have two surprises planned for us to make things even better such as an exclusive lounge review so sit back and enjoy!

Fun fact this route was the very route that Air Transat 236 was involved in, the plane ran out of fuel over the Atlantic and was able to glide to the Azores and made a safe landing after gliding for 15 minutes.

As someone who has made multiple trips across the Atlantic this past couple of years this is extremely good for the price. Especially when you consider Aer Lingus who I usually travel with could be almost double this price for an almost exact experience.

I did board on Air Transat before COVID from YYZ to YYC. Nice staff and friendly cabin crew. They offered complimentary free checked baggage when I did my check-in, but I was shocked with the 3-3-3 configuration in A330 economy class when I went on board.

Thank you for the wonderful review from one of our Seneca College Flight Service students who checked you in on the Kiosk!

The reason your back is destroy is that most a330 use the normal 2-4-2 seat configuration, bus TS use 3-3-3 so it's less comfortable. BTW, you should try air transat a321neo LR. Like the video

Edit: 3 like it's the first time of my life I wish you all a great day

As an aviation enthusiast, ive watched your video and investigated the layout and structure of the aircraft. i also decided to analyze what was provided in the video. if your spinal area is in pain after 7 straight hours of flying, (of course, this is typically normal for long haul flights) most short duration flight aircrafts have a circular rooftop while long haul flights have a more squared rooftop for maximum comfort and leaning on the walls for sleep, whatever you need to do to sleep. however, i noticed that the transat flight to lisbon you took had a circular ceiling and since you leaned on the wall to sleep, its likely that the walls were curved so much, you couldnt really use it for proper rest. because transat is a cheaper option, it wont have top of the line equipment. for the price, transat is reasonable and a good idea to fly. they are very budget friendly. but if you are like me and cant tolerate airplane food, i recommend bringing your own food to eat and ask for additional aircraft snacks if needed. thanks for your time!

I'm actually flying with Air Transat this Saturday from London to Toronto on the A321LR and the way back it's on the A330... 1st time using this airline so this video kind of helped to be prepared 🤞

[conquestyoutube]

Also, you've been on their old A330. Try their A321LR, they are much more comfortable, and many of the issues you noted (like no charger) are removed

i love your videos Eric keep up the great work cant wait for the next video

[jamiewren]

[goodsamaritan]

[Qais_Haddad]

Haven’t even watched a minuet yet, just clicked on and I’m already hyped for this vid. Only because of this legend

[michaelquintana]

For those who fly Air Transat, I have a travel hack for the red-eye flights, get the pillow and or blanket, and use it for back and bottom support to get comfortable.

[saniyezehra]

Just wondering on what to watch then i remembered you and the video is amazing as always

[irismooh]

Did you have a carry on? Their dimensions for carry on is smaller than the usual carry on size.

[spacehunter]

y'know an air transat flight on the same route and same plane (toronto to lisbon)(a330-200) had an engine failure and emergency landed at a small island. The flight's number was air transat flight 263 in case you wanna research this

[flyeagle]

This Airline's A330 made historical safe landing at Azores when their A330 ran out of fuel due to fuel in right engine in 2001.

Im so proud how fast your channel is growing and how so many people relate to you. Sending love!

Hey Eric and all that follow, I have flown Air Transat for many years and can honestly say that since they "upgraded" their cabin and seats, flying economy from Toronto to London Gatwick is now extremely painful. The actual seat is very hard on my butt and short. The edge of the bottom part is so short that it cuts into the middle of my legs causing pain and the inability to be comfortable, let alone sleep. 7 to 8 hours on this plane is no fun.
