Had an absolutely horrible experience with a trip booked through the Air Transat website, with a connecting flight operated by Porter. Total fail by both companies! When showing up for initial flight operated by Air Transat, was refused boarding and handed a phone number to try to fix it. After about a half hour on hold and speaking to heavily accented employee, found that they’d changed my booking to several days later. No emails, no notice whatsoever, no offers of compensation, nothing. If that wasn’t bad enough, when I eventually took the flight they rebooked me on, upon arrival at ticketing for the second leg of my trip (this time operated by Porter), I was again refused boarding. This time they said I owed them a large sum of money (twice the price of flights booked) and would not be allowed to board until it was paid. Upon contacting both Air Transat and Porter (both at ticketing and through their phone line), both claimed it was the other’s fault. Spend hours dealing with them, missed the flight, and eventually had no choice but to give in to their extortion.
