I'm planning a trip to Canada next year and
the Air Transat Blub Class offering looks
attractive at around =A3500 return LGW-YVR
however I havent been able to track down
details of seat pitch and width
Has anyone flown with them and/or have
any hard information ?


Flew with them 2 weeks ago as economy class passengers. Take sandwiches !

The "window" club class seats were, IIRC, two deep, instead of the three=20
deep in economy, and at a guess, the centre seats were 3 or 4 wide=20
instead of approx 5 in economy.

The food was a *lot* better in club class, but i`m not sure if they were=20
worth =A3350-=A3400 (which is a typical price difference)

Even in economy the seats weren`t as cramped as other flights i`ve been=20
on, and it wasn`t particularly uncomfortable despite the fact I weigh=20
over 17 stone !

--=20

You're not being very truthfull. If the aircraft you were on had
window seats that were 'three deep' in economy, then the centre seats
were 3 across not 'approx 5'.

The only way they can afford to offer such discounts is that they
consume less fuel than their competition. g

If that's a discount - you guys are getting ripped off big time or we get a
hell of tail wind - both ways.

I can fly Toronto to London for under $700 CAN pretty much anytime except
peak summer. That's about 325 of your funny money.

Currently I could get there for a about 250 BP
