Seat45C
FromToronto - Lester B. Pearson International (YYZ)
ToRome - Leonardo da Vinci International (FCO)
My daughter and I went to Rome on vacation and returned just this week and sat in seats 45 A&C which are the 2x2 seats near the back of the plane. The seating wasn't too bad for size and I am a larger individual but it was relatively comfortable considering they try to cram as many bodies into airplanes as possible these days. These seats were reserved and paid in advance as they tend to be most preferred except for the seats near the exits. My daughter sat in 45A (window) and I sat in 45C (aisle). I was able to stretch out my right leg fully in this case and getting up and down to stretch on a 9 hour flight was easy. I was dreading the long haul flight but actually didn't mind it that much. Food was good and drinks and snacks were also served. Entertainment was also pretty good although I did bring my own movies on my phone.
I would definitely fly Air Transat again. Overall a pleasant experience!

I flew first time on this air transat flight to Vancouver and the seat was great! Yes it's by the toilets but the door was over the other side so in this seat I was not disturbed at all and was tucked in the corner by the window! I am only 5.4 so not the tallest but plenty of leg room for me. People talked of narrow seats and I didn't find this a problem either ( I am not petite) with a screen that comes up from the seat. Food was good and sufficient for this airline, as it's a far cheaper price than the national carriers in the U.K. & Canada, so I was amazed to hear people moaning about this. If you want the amount of food and drinks the others give on this route then pay another £400 with another airline.... for a small amount you can order a gourmet meal if so desired, still saving considerably!

I paid to book this seat on my return leg as I was happy with the outbound journey. I will say the service and the aircrew was amazing and nothing was too much for them! I was very pleased with airtransat and will be using again and booking this seat! Can't fault them or the seat! I am a nervous flyer and I was flying on my own but the whole experience from boarding through out was fantastic!

Highly recommended and don't be worried unless your very tall of booking this seat then maybe you want to try the aisle seats of row 12 they had loads of legroom and the seats are sectioned off so people don't walk in front of you! Seriously tall people book these seats :) Maybe one bit of good advice I was given was take some water with you! You can obviously buy this from departures once through security!

The seat does decline but was a little stiff so don't be worried about this just don't do what I did initially and think it wasn't working!!

Seat14
FromToronto - Toronto Pearson International (YTO)
ToManchester - Manchester (MAN)
One of the worst flights I've ever had and by far the most uncomfortable. In all we had three flights with Tranat and wil never fly with them again. All three flights were last either taking off or disembarking (no gate, at Toronto!)
We had paid extra for legroom and that was excellent but the width of the seats was terrible. Other companies seem to use a 2-4-2 layout giving 8 across. Transats 3-3-3 means there is an extra row reducing the space. At only 5'8" and 170lb I'm not a big person but it still felt very narrow. The flight out was freezing (would you like to buy a comfort pack?) and the one home was uncomfortably hot. Food was appalling and cabin crew surly. (Ugh! They've been on for over half an hour now waiting. I suppose we'll have to give them a drink of water)
No seat back TVs . Entertainment could be streamed to your tablet if you had one but there were no seat charging point.
Avoid.

Seat4A
FromLondon - London Gatwick (LGW)
ToToronto - Lester B. Pearson International (YYZ)
Returned YYZ in option plus after flying out in Club. These sears offered more leg room but were still very narrow and confining. Service from the attendants was excellent. Actually the meal we had was surprisingly good, one of the better Economy meals I have had and I am a frequent flyer so well versed in meal quality. While these seats offered more leg room, the air circulation in that spot was not good, we were warm almost uncomfortable during flight and when we got up for the WC, found the plane cooler as you went back even a couple of rows, perhaps the curtains directly in front for club class restricted air flow. Overall, not bad for the money. The worst experience of the trip however was trying to get your baggage at terminal 3 in Toronto, a real horror show, 2 hours before the bags appeared. Terminal 3 baggage is a total mess and embarrassment for this world class City. Shame on GTAA.

Seat3A
FromMontreal - Montréal-pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL)
ToCancun - Cancún International (CUN)
This seat is a normal seat and has no extra width or legroom, even if it is in row 3. I am 6-0'' and the leg room was barely adequate. Other than that everything was ok, aircraft was clean, people nice and flight on schedule. I try to avoid Air Transat as much as possible and I will continue to do the same in the future. I always feel as if I do not have enough for my money.

Seat48K
FromUK - Birmingham
ToToronto - Lester B. Pearson International (YYZ)
Over all average experience, may feel little cramped compare to normal flight if you choose seats with 3 passenger in a row but for two people at the back is reasonably good
Food served is very basic and okay for its test depending on how hungry you are at the time
Check in process at Birmingham wasn't so good and Toronto airport need to improve their customer service for sure the airport is in need of some serious expansion with so many people travelling at the same time

ToVancouver airport
The second time I have flown with Air Transat and the flight entertainment was good the food was passable but nothing to shout about. I would have liked to have had coffee offered more than once on the 10 hour flight though

Seat16K
FromHamilton - Hamilton (YHM)
ToHiguey - Punta Cana International (PUJ)
I have flown Air Transat for years. I now pay extra for emergency exit seating as the regular seats are too close together for leg room. This is common with all carriers. I have yet to experience a negative situation. I do not find the seat width an issue as much as the seat depth. 737-800's do not have the club seats you try out at Transat Travel Agencies so for a 6ft male adult, Regardless of the legroom, I spend the entire flight sitting only on my tail bone

Seat11c
FromToronto - Lester B. Pearson International (YYZ)
ToRoatan - Roatan (RTB)
No issue with the seat itself, my biggest bef is when the seat in front of me reclined it felt as if it was right in my face, which is not a good feeling for a 4 hour plus flight
