What you need to know before flying with Air Canada

Not only is the company extending its wings to you, as it says, with great service, attractive prices and many other benefits, in fact your experience with it will remain an unforgettable moment.

In the aviation sector, like everything else, there are obvious disappointments. For various reasons, or sometimes just a bad sequence of circumstances, otherwise, we must also realize that, due to lack of information on our part or because we may not have chosen what best matches our expectations…

Today is a meeting with Canada’s national airline, Air Canada.

It is rivaled by Air Transat on the transatlantic route

There are national companies that, outside their borders, sometimes seem less well known or used than some more modest competitors from the same country.

This is somewhat similar to what is happening to Air Canada, whose group is one of the leaders in the world of aviation, transporting millions of passengers to the four corners of the planet every year for decades. Because Canada’s national carrier finds itself in significant competition on the transatlantic route and also towards a certain number of “sunny destinations” in the Americas by the more modest Air Transat. This is a company in Quebec that we know well here and that has found a large European audience when it comes to travel to La Belle Province (among other places). Perhaps it is natural that at a certain time the elder wanted (in vain) to accommodate the younger…

However, Air Canada could be attractive, especially as it recently offered a “train + plane” service in several European countries including France to pick up your flight. But not necessarily through its service or relationship that can be described as “honest and beyond” as is often the case with North American airlines, nor even with its transatlantic routes, but rather through its good domestic network and service to member states. United States of America.

Even if there is competition with other airlines (in IATA language), with its subsidiaries Air Canada Rouge and Express in addition, it may already represent a certain interest for those who have to depart to North American cities that are not served by other companies directly from Europe .
