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!

Love your vids! I’ve been watching for over 1 year!
Great!!!!!
I am not caping but i was in that 2nd lounge the brownies there R fire
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.
19 minutes* but it’s ok it’s still an impressive glide
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
They have 2-4-2 on their a330-300 C-GTSD
Ohh merci
yeet
How's a 321neo? Is it not great either?
@@stavv222It's almost the same things as the a330 but instead of a 3-3-3, it's a 3-3. I tried it, it wasn't great. I also tried tap a321neo lr, It was WAY better
Finally a full experience review of Air Transat! I was looking for them! Thanks Eric!
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.
Eric, i love your videos! Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the next video, i always watch when you upload new videos 😊
@KimSeokjin-iy3gk🤖
Yayy !! I have the 1000th view !! BTW, Eric, your videos are getting better than before and we would like to see you doing more airline reviews❤❤
Just wondering on what to watch then i remembered you and the video is amazing as always
i love your videos Eric keep up the great work cant wait for the next video
next Saturday will be the next!
No😊😊
This is a bad airline
Great video! Someone I know regularly flies between Manchester, England and Canada with Air Transat!
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!
you really don't know what you're saying
@@myt763 and you do?
as a premium airline crew I can really say a330 and 777/ a350 does have a difference in terms of cabin space and comfort! 7 hours does sound a bit tough squeezing in the a330, without blanket/ pillow and full service etc
Another amazing video from Eric!
lets gooo
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
But thats a 2 aisle narrowbody
@@likeasambud9817yea but there were so many open seats beside each other to get sleep
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 🤞
omg safe journey!! me and my sisters are going on monday but we’re taking the A330 on the way there 😭
omgg same im going ob tuesday from Manchester to Toronto so im super excited!
@@aliyahpdo u support Man City or man united
Really good bro keep it up👍👍👍
Eric I love you bro your videos are amazing man keep it up brother
man i love your vides so good well done keep it up
another new one comes next saturday!
@@ericstruk ok that you
I used air transat on my flight to France and back. The seats we’re comfortable an the food was ok. I would recommend it.I dont know if you took a older model or what but when i flew both planes had a charing jack and a moveble map. Maybe try taking another air transat.
Eric, it was a very sad memory for me to look at the food service at both lounges. The poor food service reminded me of what I had when I worked for a North American cruise line. Always the same food for as long as 5 years.
Interesting how inaccurate those online seating maps happen to be. Considering it is from the official airline page, this is unacceptable! It shows there is a seat missing in the middle when actually there is nothing like this onboard.
Meals onboard Air Transat seem abysmal, especially the meal in the early morning. A "banana" sandwich!
I never manage to sleep onboard these Economy Class seats either.
A good review Eric.
Haven’t even watched a minuet yet, just clicked on and I’m already hyped for this vid. Only because of this legend
agreed!
lets goooooo
@@ericstrukAyoo Eric love you my man u a real homie u make up so much time for us
@@Robloxguy000ytindian benzema?
@@jaspreetlamba4149 what the fuck?
I remember you fly from Germany to Toronto in Canada, so this time. You use air transat!
Great vid as usual
I flew with them last March to Cuba on their a321neoLR and it was great.
I love your reviews! Can you one day review Emirates B777 business class?
Love ur vids
Nice vid keep it up 😀😀😀
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.
And same route Toronto to Lisbon
_Y I K E S_
Only ever flew air transat once Manchester to Toronto and was lucky to fly 1st class on the way out and cattle class back! Must admit the 1st class experience was superb too!
is it first class or club class? I thought air transat didn’t have a first class option
I’ve flown with Air Transat twice and I’m flying with them again this July from Manchester to Toronto. I think overall 8 out of 10.
My friends and I passed u when u we’re walking down the terminal to the lounge! We work on the ramp for air transat and other airlines
It’s just more real when you fold it like a sandwhich! 😂
0:37 mate really typed his last name in all caps JUST to make the check-in process look bad.
Still love, your videos had to point out that though I’m sorry
I always do, normally it is never an issue
You should try flying an airline that is not known to many. Its called firefly and its malaysia airlines low cost subsidiary and its fleet has ATR 72 and 737 in its fleet. This airline is known for its low fares and they most of the time serve some peanuts and sometimes a piece of butter or marble cake despite the flight being 1h or less from singapore to subang
Not much of a chance for him to travel to the other side of the world to try the airline out unfortunately. But if its part of a bigger series then that would be pretty cool
You were lucky to get an Airbus. I'm 6'2" and flew their other plane type, and my knees literally jammed into some metal or hard plastic into the seat in front of me. I was lucky that their staff was kind enough to move people around, so the seat beside me became free, allowing me to spread my legs wide into that space. I really don't know what I would have done with that kindness. I have never had that issue with WestJet or Air Canada. We really do need minimum standards in seat pitch and size.
i love air transit!!!!! prices are great but i only fly for 3 and halve hours
Your videos are very good
love your videos. can't wait to do some of your stuff one day. but big question please: can you tell me what other greater joys you have had compared to flying business class, getting pampered, and eating good food (can't say excellent because nothing compares to "fresh" food from a fine dining restaurant whether it is a top notch steakhouse, michelin star restaurant, or even just a top notch vegas buffet. Perhaps, a dog, fantastic sex, running a marathon, skydiving, surfing, motorcycle riding, concerts, kids/family etc? just wondering how all these other joyful things stack up against flying business class. thank you!
I really want to do this but I can’t I’m only 10😂. God bless you Eric.
I Have experienced your transit and was very good It wasn't the same as you as this one that you were flying in, but mine had almost every Then I wanted
I always watch every video if it's notified
Hey Eric i like to tell you that I flew on an overnight flight from Perth to Sydney and I couldn’t sleep at all I got the blanket and pillow for free on the qantas airbus A330.
i love air transat is so cool ♥
Nice videos ❤
Eric I flew to lisbon 4 months on air portugal THAT WAS THE BEST AIRLINE I HAVE EVVER FLOWN I have been there for 2 weeks
2:19 never worry about that man! You're awesome and they were probably just jealous!
I used to fly back and forth between Canada and Scotland with Air Transat and that was in an old Airbus A310 now thats a bone shaker,,you get what you pay for,,never had any issues
Hi Eric, I watch a lot of your videos and I subscribe to you. On the other hand, could you one day explain to us what the American express is?
AmEx are a credit card company
You should try to nine it’s literally the freaking good first class nice flight attendants. Nothing can go wrong, smooth landing, nice food in Academy and first. Class
Could you do a review on North America’s best low cost airline?
BEST BANGER SERIES
LOVE IT
Bro flight Emirates from Toronto to Dubai You’ll have the best experience ever
Keep the good work up
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
This hapened lire 15 years ago
I know however I though it would be reasonable to just mention it
Ye
What is funny is that Lufthansa would give you free blankets and pillow
i just got off yesterday from Athens to Montreal / Toronto and it was the worst seat that I have sat in. I have been around the world and would recommend to avoid them if you can. a solid 4.5/10 in my opinion.
I think any airline that packs 9 abreast seating on a plane that normally is 8 is just crazy. From 18” seat width to 16” is just nuts 😂
Eastern North America to Asia with economy is hell (flight time approximately 14hours). Burry me lol😂
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.
Also for the later video where he flew Porter, it’s the same name from the lounge at 3:51
Can you actually make a review on the cheapest vacation package. You can go to cuba for a week for under $500 with last minutes deals. It would be interesting to see review about flight/ resort..etc
I just came back from Cancun and at the airport there I saw not one not two but three Air Transat a330-200s
I used Air transat for the 1st from Toronto to Dominican Republic this Aptl...I preferred this Airline over Air Canada & West.
If I had to choose between West Jet & Air Canada..I would select West Jet.
Hi there! I also have the America Express card, my husband and mother-in-law will travel with me. Can they accompany me? Or would they also have to have the card to skip the line?
My first experience with Air Transat went as such: The flight going to Cuba was delayed by 10 hours. And then on the flight coming back from Cuba, they offered headphones for 10 dollars. Upon asking why they were free on the initial flight, they said it they gave them away for free to apologize for the delay!!
Im so proud how fast your channel is growing and how so many people relate to you. Sending love!
hopefully we get to a point where its like 500k people a video watching
That's a bot
@@ericstrukbro that’s a bot
you did the same flight as me but the airport i went to go was in montreal just to go to lisbon
Does they check the size of the carry on? Its standard size for the carry on(20" + wheels)? Mine is almost 22" including wheels
1:00 so cute! ❤❤
i flew a an air Canada flight from Toronto to Paris similar to yours just not same airline a few weeks ago from when you upload this video
I find it funny when people complain about long haul seats when I fly multiple times a year on a 6 hour long route using a plane mostly used on 3 hour routes
Well seeing what you have been through, the seats were bad but at least you had entertainment, I have flown on an airline with non of those for five hours and it was a good thing smartphones exist I hated it. That airline operates with a 777 now and that is totally different though I wondered what happened to the boring A319's I flew on. For a 7 hours + flight give me EK any day.
Great vid
why thank you
@@ericstruk omggggg
I have a flight on 16th june on air india,It would be useful if you reviewd that atrline Eric!
You should do one on Caribbean Airlines
hey! miat mongolian airlines is gonna operate flights to America soon with their 2nd b787-9 arriving wich is ready to be delivered and my father is a captain of 1 of these 2 b787s
I flew air transat from YYZ - FLL for 3 hours and it was good
I didn't think they have a Montreal-Algiers route, I don't see them regularly or even never saw them 😂😂
Head to Newcastle in England and then fly a jet 2 flight to lanzarote. Trust me it’s good
Flew Air Transat from Pearson to Lima Peru on the A321LR. 8hrs. Service was not bad, food was ok, but man do they ever need more padded seats. My butt and legs were NOT having a good time after 4-5hrs. Back support was ok, but the seat cushion was horrible.
try Norse Atlantic Airways, it is a cheap airline but really good. I flew with them to Berlin
They only fly from JFK
Try it it is really good
You should do americas best budget airline! (Southwest)
@7:03, this is a perfect description of what I have to offer
Airbus A330 is the most comfortable plane in the sky these days, in its standard 8-abreast seating. However, the 9-abreast makes it the narrowest... even more narrow than the densified B777 and B787.
W video❤
The longest word ever took, was actually Air Transat from Toronto to San Jose Costa Rica but the flight I got had no TV screens, at least the flight attendants are friendly I actually like Air Transat better than westjet
With American Express, are you entitled to the Air France lounge?
I’m in a wheelchair and took a flight from Kitchener to Vancouver. It was fun cutting everyone off and going straight to the front
Havent watched but very 🔥
excellent😄
You should try flying Southwest because I searched it up and google said that it was a really bad airline
that’s bs
@@sandserpenthiss what’s “bs”
@@taylorweber6454 bullsh*t - a lie
southwest is one of the best airlines
Can you do something with KLM like a review?
i always fly air transat they are amazing and if you are a kid you get a special kids pack if you ask + its i fly them on my 9 hour flights that i do also the blanket is free in the kids pack
yeah I saw a kid get this but sadly for me as an adult I didn't get anything AHAH
@@ericstruk yea I can still get it but OMG YOU REPLIED!!
I want you to see what the best NA economy airline is please!
Fly Avelo Airlines it’s a new airline in the US also it mainly takes off from Bob Hope airport in Burbank California
Hey Eric, nice video! Sorry late to this one
Hey bro, u also is a fan of him?
So cool
The legroom is great. Why didn't you show us the whole meal? And the breakfast?
you should do a video flying frenchbee it is a great airline
I've had decent experience with Air transat, Good affordable way to fly into europe there Long haul planes are definitely better then the short haul, 100% only fly them for the Longhaul
What about delays?
