| - Me and my husband flew on Air Transat on our Honeymoon to London. A travel agent recommended them as providing cheaper direct flights to London then some of the competition, but despite being frugal, I will never ride this airline again.
So why two stars then? I have a hard time going as low as one start when the stewardesses were friendly and attentive, the price was cheap, and I did have an exciting vacation.
My biggest question for Air Transat is, it is the year 2018, where are your air vents? Now I will preface this with the fact that I sometimes think I am hot blooded. I always feel warm. Even in this frigid winter in wny when lots of women are wearing cute sweaters and scarves, I can't because I tend to overheat. I instead like to wear short sleeve shirts with a cardigan which I can take off when I am feeling warm. But seriously?!? I have NEVER been on an airplane with no air vent. The first thing I do when I get on an airplane is turn the air vent on. The second I walked on the plane I noticed and realized it was going to be a rough flight.
Unfortunately, I might have been able to bravely take on the lack of fresh air, as I did have a successful ride home, but on the way there we got grounded in Montreal. Mind you, that was after flying an hour past Montreal, meaning we had to fly back to land, and then sit on the plane for 4 hours as they wouldn't let us off and then take off and fly the rest of the way to London, so after being on the plane for almost 12 hours the heat really got to me.
Although I am a rather extreme case, other people were noticing and mentioning the heat as well, so it wasn't just me. A family friend traveled on the same flight a month later and learned from our mistake, she got one of those small fans you can wear around your neck and she said she was very glad for the tip as the ride would have been much worse without it.
It was a very miserable ride for me. The stewardesses were attentive and helpful. But I cannot get past the air vents. Until I have proof that their planes have them, I will not step foot on Air Transat, despite the price.
