    Anyone flown with them?


    I'm hoping to spend sompe time in Canada this year and Air Transit are a charter company that offers very reasonable flights yet reading the reviews they don't always get a lot of happy customers.
    They seem to be the "Ryanair" of transatlantic flights. People complain of bad service, restrictive bag weight limits and very poor food but to me it seems to be a case of getting what you pay for.

    Air Transit €1150, Paris - Toronto return for 2 people. That's €450 cheaper than Air Canada.

    They are ok - been flying with them for 15 years to an from Toronto. Food was paticularly bad last year with them serving up a tv dinner type sweet & sour chicken. My advice is to bring your own sandwich and snacks. Weight restrictions are strict too. Seats are not bad - all leather now I believe. Not a hell of a long trek to TO so grin & bear it, with a few extra $$ in your phoca!!

    That's what I was thinking. If I can save €400 by flying with them then I'm sure I can afford to buy some good food in the airport before leaving.

    Are the seats leather in economy as well as in club class?

    I'm limited to 23Kg per person (checked-in) but the weight can be combined between all travellers. 15Kg carry on.


    The plan is to fly to Montreal, spend a couple of days there before heading out to Nova Scotia for 9 days and then catching a flight from Halifax to Toronto before we head back to Paris 3 days later.
