Air Transat

Often called Air Sardine due to the lack of space between the rows of seats, as in no leg room and very little bum room, I upgraded to the ‘Club’ section of the plane.  This section of three rows and twenty-one  large size, comfortable each is at the front of the plane which is separated from the rest of the riff-raff by a curtain and cabin crew who guarded our intimacy.  You pay a big premium but in the grand order of things it is worth it.  I still found the nine hour flights exhausting however we were never bored what with snacks, meals, water, more wine, champagne (mousseux really), another magazine, another paper, and going to the washroom without a huge line-up.  You also get priority check-in service which can shave an hour or more off your wait time at the airport and a priority luggage pick-up service which didn’t seem to be working at Montreal.  You also receive a free kit containing blanket, mask, headphones, toiletries etc.
