Zoom Airlines/Toronto?

pclancy

Thinking bout two weeks in toronto end of october and a mate suggested i fly with zoom from belfast. Flights are only €425 return! I've never heard of them before though does anyone know what the seats and service etc are like?

Any good suggestions for stuff to do in toronto? Totally open to hopping on a bus/train and going somewhere else also, i see from other threads its not a fantasticly entertaining city and we're staying in hostels so are flexible....

There ok for what they do they get you from point a to point b with very little fuss. Cabin crew are friendly and there planes are clean. They are pretty much a charter airline so expect charter service. There is another cheap charter from Dublin Air Transat whic are a little cheaper booking link is http://www.globespan.com/

Cool thanks jjbrien so kind of like a long haul ryanair? 31' seat pitch isnt great for a long haul flight but feck it for €425 im not too bothered.

Globespan look good but their site wont let you check return flights beyond october which is weird. Might try them in a few weeks as would be much handier fly from dublin.

Zoom and Air Transat stop flying to Ireland for the summer towords the end of October. So you might have to go from Belfast.

By the reviews im guessing first class upgrade isnt worth it but the increased seat pitch offer might be. Thanks for the info folks v helpfull

I flew to Calgary with them, they were fine. Legroom is a bit **** but apart from that the flight was comfortable. Showed three movies.
