Canadian Affair = Cheap, Cheerful and Cool! UPDATE
Diamond review. Click to learn more
04/03/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Nice staff and unbeatable value!
Disadvantages Make sure you check your booking details! (Update on this at the end...)

Canadian Affair came highly recommended to me, and they didn’t disappoint. They are the winner of the Canada Travel Awards Best Canada Website 2002 and 2003 and deservedly so. They offer exceptionally cheap travel between a good range of airports in both Canada and UK, currently starting at prices as low as £148 return, including taxes! I’m actually now onto my second booking with them (second journey not yet taken… *g*). Both times have been flights to Vancouver, flying with Thomas Cook airlines. I’ve done a separate review for them. I find the website is sometimes temperamental and won’t ... more

Good? Bad? Both! 08/08/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Quick, easy service with polite staff and helpful post-sale enquiries
Disadvantages Bad booking system

First and foremost - Money. Make no mistake; Canadian-Affair offers literally the best value for money fares to Canada, full-stop. To order a ticket (with full trimmings such as premium seats and insurance) for one person going to busy Pearson airport in Toronto in the height of holiday season for a measly £350-£400 -DIRECT FLIGHT I might add -is simply astounding. The website was easy to navigate - the step by step process helped me hand in hand with ordering my ticket and with payment. In each step I was given the opportunity to go back and to change any details or to double check them in ... more

Canadianaffair - Disgraceful Affair 23/07/2008

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Sometimes you get lucky
Disadvantages They don't respect their customers

My wife and I travelled from Toronto to Manchester with Canadianaffair ten days ago with reserved seat positions for the return flight back to Toronto on Wednesday July 23rd. Upon arrival at Manchester Airport for the return trip we were refused boarding and told to see the representative at the Canadianaffair office. We did this and were then informed that despite having reserved seat positions we may not be given a seat on the flight due to overbooking. We were flabbergasted and angry. We also had to wait around for a few hours to find out if we would be allowed on the flight. To cut a long ... more

There Must Be A Catch Somewhere 02/05/2001

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheaper than competitors, simple online booking, cheap insurance, good info on Canada
Disadvantages Only Canada 3000 flights, unable to pay rest of balance online if you choose to only pay deposit..

When the time came to booking my flights to Canada this coming summer I didnt quite know where to start.. I quickly realised I would save a few pennies by booking online but argh there were so many flight specialists, so many prices to check.. I quickly came up with a shortlist of 20 or so such companies and begun to look.. However a lot of the sites I visited were a struggle to use, and I felt that I was getting nowhere.. then I came to Canadian Affair. The name of the company itself was encouraging, a company that specialises in Canadian - UK flights would surely be cheaper than the ... more

Advantages Cheap, friendly efficient service
Disadvantages None

The other ops on Canadian Affair are a little out of date, so I thought I would update things. As a Canadian expat living in the UK, I have been using them for about 5 years on my frequent trips back and for family and friends to visit us here. I will start with a trip that we made in November 2001, when Canadian-Affair was still using Canada 3000. We landed in Toronto to be told by my brother that it looked like Canada 3000 was going bankrupt. Indeed, the next day, they ceased operations. An email to Canadian Affair elicited an instant response, with the promise that we would be taken care of ... more
