Air Transat

✅ Trip Verified | The story began that the plane arrived late to FLL. We finally set in the plane an hour later, and the captain announced that connecting flight in Montreal to Barcelona will be waiting for us, there were about 10-15 ppl for that flight, so we were not worrying to be late, as the plane departed 2 hours late as scheduled. It was the same airline and the ticket purchased as a single ticket and after the captain’s announcement there was not even any thought that there will be any problem. When we landed in Montreal, an agent called these who are for connecting flight to weigh right by the entrance, not allowing to proceed to the departure gates. He said that the plane to Barcelona had already departed. But we learned that the plane was still at the gate. When we asked the agent, he said, well, the authority decision was to rebook all of us for the next day’s flight. Apparently, the flight was oversold, and that was the easiest decision not paying us compensation for that. The agent provided us with the hotel info, and first thing I asked if the hotel is booked for 1 night and we have check out the next day by noon. The flight was almost at midnight, and the 10 hours gap we would have no place to stay at. But the agent assured us that we don’t have to checkout by noon, it is taken care of, and we can stay at the hotel till the evening. But this was a lie, the hotel was booked just for 1 night and checkout at 11. I called an airline from the hotel, to get more info on the hotel and on reimbursement but no one responded even though it was the line for an immediate assistant. With all that said, there were no other conditions but the airline’s negligence and irresponsibility. All this ruined 2 days of my vacation, luck of sleep, stress make me ill, and the financial loss of the hotel booked in Barcelona

✅ Trip Verified | The customer service for the airline is an absolute joke. Ruined my whole vacation. Got to Cancún airport to wait 2 hours for our shuttle that was never coming. Not one of the air transat reps bothered to tell us. I had to ask to find out. Had to pay a taxi driver $120 usd to take me to the resort. I was assured that I would be refunded at the resort. At the resort the Air Transat rep wasted 3 of my mornings giving me the run around. “Come back tomorrow my supervisor isn’t in” etc. Only to find out we would have to submit a claim online which I still haven't heard back from. Would have been nice if she told me the first time I saw her. This airline ruined my trip. I will never fly with them again nor do I recommend anyone else. Absolute joke.

Not Verified |   The plane was delayed for almost 2 hours so we were on plane approx 6 hours. Only passed with drinks once and was told no sandwiches on this flight only pringles, gummy bears etc.S eats very uncomfortable. Would not recommend this airline.

✅ Trip Verified | We booked a daytime flight and asked for a window seat because my fiance needs to be able to look out of the window as she's a very nervous flier. The extremely aggressive air hostess demanded the blind be closed as soon as we took off for the duration of the 8 hour daytime flight. She then called my fiance a 'minority' and suggested that meant she had no rights to have her blind open. We are horrified by this.

Not Verified | Absolutely the worst agency I've ever come across. They gouged us for prices, lied about what to expect at the resort, then when we tried to complain, there was no one to talk to. They have no phone line for customer service complaints for past trips, only a link to a form to fill out. It has been 4 months, with many follow ups, and we have yet to hear anything back. I tried contacting them through their FB messenger chat and was given no answer except "they will contact you via email as soon as possible". Never using this horrible airline again.

✅ Trip Verified | I booked a flight from Toronto to Cayo Coco with this company and when the payment went thru the departure and arrival of the flight was scheduled in Montreal which is about 10 hours drive from where i am. I called them to change it and they left me wait on the phone for hours giving me excuses and at the end after all the time i waited they told me that I'd have to pay off my own pocket for a trip to Montreal. This company don't care about their customers.

Not Verified | Very pleased with the my direct flight from Glasgow to Toronto in November 2023. I had to make a round trip at very short notice and I found Air Transat, although the online reviews were a bit “scary”. The online booking went smoothly and the mid-week, outward and return flights left on time and arrived on time. Good work guys. The check in teams at Glasgow and Toronto were friendly and helpful. The flight crew were friendly and efficient, probably helped by the fact that the flights were around half full. My checked baggage was retrieved quite quickly on both occasions. The seating and catering was reasonable for economy class and in my experience better than expected from many of the harsh reviews. Perhaps I had beginners luck! I will be using them again. Keep up the good work.

Not Verified | I always fly Air Transat, been to Spain two times, Portugal, Rome, been going to Cuba for 20 years. Been with a few other airlines. I love Air Transat service I always fly club class the price is reasonable and worth the price. I Am trying Costa Rica for the first time this year.

Not Verified | We paid for extra legroom seats for all three travellers and had booked two tickets first then an extra seat later, I had called to ensure we were all seated together in the extra legroom seats we paid for. When we got on the flight home we had been separate from my grandmother despite having had the seats agreed and nobody telling us we had been changed, we also were not changed for a like for like seat (still extra legroom but from window to aisle). We eventually are able to get them to move us back together. These are by far the most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in. It was more uncomfortable than their standard seats and is totally unacceptable that people pay money for those seats when they are so uncomfortable. I was incredibly disappointed with my service with air Transat and do not plan to use them again which is a shame because they used to be an excellent alternate to flying from Heathrow or using Air Canada.

"I would like to express my deep dissatisfaction with the way Transat has handled my claim. To date, two months have passed since my trip, and I have not received any updates or resolutions to my issue. The customer service I have experienced so far falls far short of my expectations. My goal is to draw attention to the issues we have encountered while hoping to encourage a significant improvement in their abysmal service. I also want to emphasize that their customer service is non-existent by phone, and reaching them is impossible. I wish good luck to anyone who may face issues with Transat. | Je souhaite partager ma profonde insatisfaction quant au suivi de ma réclamation avec Transat. À ce jour, deux mois se sont écoulés depuis mon voyage, et je n'ai reçu aucune nouvelle ni résolution de mon problème. Le service à la clientèle que j'ai expérimenté jusqu'à présent est loin de répondre à mes attentes. Mon objectif est d'attirer l'attention sur les problèmes que nous avons rencontrés, tout en espérant encourager une amélioration significative de leur service pourri. Je tiens aussi à souligner que le service à la clientèle est inexistant par téléphone, et il est impossible de les joindre. Je souhaite bonne chance à toutes celles et ceux qui pourraient rencontrer des problèmes avec Transat.
