good old transat.. they have a bit of a history of things going wrong , like the gasless landing in the Azores , and a few other mishaps , drunk pilots, keeping passengers cooped up...was on one of their l1011's in the 90's that did a wing strike on landing in Holland.. emergecy vehicles n everything checkin us at the end of the runway.. got in ok though didn't fly them again , especially after the ottawa incident, but hey, she's the last of her breed , enjoy the 310.. no side stick ..

Air Transat has honestly become quite a nice airline to fly, even better than air canada in my opinion. Air Canada’s staff tends to be rude, but Air Transat’s staff tends to be much more welcoming. Their newer planes are all pretty comfy and their in flight food is very good even though you have to pay for it, and sometimes their prices can be on the more expensive side. Also, Air Transat are much more often on time than Air Canada.

It's interesting how, from the outside, it looks just about as modern as any other plane. Of course, the same can be said of 737s, 747s etc. But I just thought about it because of the title of the video. Planes have evolved in many ways of course, but in this regard all that much can't have happened!

This was another great video Noel. I really love to fly on the old airliners. My wife and I flew on a United DC-10 from SFO to ORD in 1999. I did not tell her but I booked that specific flight just so we could fly on the old bird. After boarding I told her how lucky we were to be flying on one of United's oldest widebody aircraft still operating. She did not seem to have the same enthusiasm for old aircraft that I did. Thanks again Noel for making such enjoyable videos.

I flew on a Transat A310 from YYZ-PUJ back in 2012 in their club class. Was an enjoyable flight, but still showed it’s age even then, without personal IFE and whatnot. On my trip with Transat from YYZ-LGW I was in an A330 in economy, so it was more enjoyable, entertainment wise anyway. Either way, I’d recommend flying Air Transat. Never really had a bad experience with them.

I'm glad you've uploaded this. I'd like to fly one of these before they go, but I suspect it won't happen. I spent a lot of money last year flying to New York on a 747 under the belief they were all going to evaporate overnight. Paid extra to guarantee my seats on the upper deck and all, but it was worth it as I got to live a childhood dream! Those engines sound and look like GE CF6s, and hearing them start up is indeed immense. On last year's flight I was lucky enough to hear four of them start two at a time on the Virgin 747. As sad as it might be to say, I'm not sure what I'd prefer to fly on next: An A310 or an A380!

Flew on this 24 years back while doing visa runs from Dubai to Doha. Was always amazed at how wide the cabin was for such a short aircraft. Never looked quite in proportion. Emirates did kit them out well back in the day. Will never forget when we got upgraded to the monstrously huge arm chair style business class seats for what was just a 35 minute flight. Great that the aircraft that started the giant is still in service today.
