On the heels of a few great weeks of fare mistakes or fare sales (who can tell any more?) there is a new one on the market today and you had better act fast.

Canadian carrier, Air Transit is showing bookable fares from Canadian cities to Europe for as little as $139 roundtrip in coach or low $700s in business class.

Here is what business class looks like on Air Transat. Keep in mind, their catering looks great but it is pretty clear that these are recliner seats and no images on their website of the seat itself. For my money, it’s probably a great deal in coach and a non-starter in business as I can fly a preferred airline for cheaper and get upgraded for free (with status) to a premium economy product that will be comparable to Air Transat business class.

There are undoubtedly more deals to additional locations from additional cities in Canada, I will try to post more as I find them. As always, do not book anything non-refundable in case the airline cancels the tickets. Process from US travel sellers if possible for purchase protection.

City update: Toronto (YYZ) to London Gatwick (LGW) – $184

Personally, I grabbed some flights to Manchester and kids are a LOT cheaper!

Prior Mistake Fares

Henry Froats used a mistake fare to fly from New York to Prague and then onward to Tokyo for $121.00 total. He then used just 25,000 Alaska Mileage Plan miles to return back to his home in Pittsburgh where he works in the oil and gas industry. In total, a short flight to New York, taxes on his award, and the miles themselves had him going around the world for less than $200 and 25,000 miles.

    Airline PR: Hey, hey! Look over here at our fares. Don’t mind the news, shhhh. http://globalnews.ca/news/3709996/air-transat-hearings-inquiry-ground-crew-pilots-testify/

      Simon, I am not sure this is a “sale” per se. I can’t tell any more. How is the average consumer to be able to tell an obvious mistake fare from a discounter competing? For example, this week there were promoted, sanctioned, legitimate fare sales by WOW Air for $69.99 one-way to Europe (which is about what this fare would be one-way) and $89 each way from Norwegian. Due to those prices I don’t see how an airline could suggest the average consumer could know the difference. Even on the business side, flights in business from NYC to Paris Orly on LaCompanie run deals form $999 roundtrip in their all-business class aircraft. So $700 in change very well could be a competitive fare (even oneworld has had sub-$1000 deals in premium cabins).

      I really couldn’t say whether or not this is an intended distraction, but I would say that every week there is a story like this from somewhere. Rats on a plan in India, 8 hours on the Tarmac here and there, it seems like Air Transat’s story (the one you linked) is not unique, though not a good PR move certainly.

      I am a little suspect on the author of that piece as well. It always confuses me why journalists don’t first google the aircraft type before they report it. If it was once it is an easy typo, but twice is a lack of interest in getting it right; I mean why even mention the model number at all? It’s not pertinent to the story for the average reader.

      “Twenty other planes, among them an Airbus 30, were diverted to Ottawa due to weather that same day. Parking that Airbus 30 forced the two Air Transat flights to the taxiway.” Bold emphasis mine.

        Noted; I linked any related article. Just having some Friday fun with coincidental timing. Not unreasonable fare in context of their usual and competing offers lately.
