Nearly 12 Hours: Air Transat
On a 11 hour flight from Montreal to London, Time Magazine writer Christopher Elliott experienced a near 12 hour flight with Air Transat.
- Flight departure: Montreal (YUL)
- Flight arrival: London (LHR)
- Aircraft: Airbus A310-300
According to Elliott, Air Transat had a 1 hour delay at takeoff, which resulted in a long flight.
"The 11-hour flight became a 12-hour flight," Elliott said.
He also mentioned that the airline kept passengers informed about the delay, which helped to alleviate tensions.
However, Elliott criticized the airline for not providing adequate food and drink options during the long flight.
"It was a bit like being stuck in a Kafkaesque nightmare," Elliott said.
Elliott's experience highlights the importance of airline communication and passenger care during long flights.
Author's note: Long flights can be challenging for both passengers and airlines. It's essential for airlines to prioritize communication, passenger comfort, and flexibility during such situations.
