This is a flight for a short stay in France, I had explained in a previous post how I arrived at this quite simple trip. Here is the first segment. After Washington last month, it is for family reasons that I am returning to France for a long weekend.
As I had explained in my post about finding this flight, I turned to Air Transat for the flexibility of the cities served directly. Bordeaux and Toulouse being close to my destination, direct flights to these two cities were very attractive for a 4 days stay. I arrived at the airport with the shuttle. This one takes longer to reach Pierre Elliott Trudeau with all the work in this part of the island. It took me a good hour from the Mile-Ex district to get there. Not the most elegant, it is however well supplied with alcohol and a decent offer of food.
On the other hand it is very busy. The boarding ended on time, the captain indicating us a flight time of 6h50, relatively long. The seat is comfortable. The meal is served 1h30 after take-off after an aperitif paying for alcoholic drinks. The food is really the weak point of Air Transat. All this does not give very much desire.
It is quickly digested: a sandwich and a cookie! The cabin has modern lighting, which is less painful for the eyes than the old neon lights in the dental office. From there I took the bus that connects the airport to the train station for 1.
Yes the direct flight is really very convenient, the cabin is quite modern with an IFE that holds the road. But the food is really the weak point of Air Transat. Skip to content.
