Looking for suggestions for best airline to fly from Toronto to Glasgow.

Need help choosing an airline to travel with. Air Canada, Air Transat, KLM, British Air or others. Thanks.

We much prefer BA to Air Canada and Air Transat (we refuse to fly Air Transat now as the seats are way too close together and service was awful last time we flew them). I have heard good things about KLM as well. Air Canada has a nasty habit of overbooking their flights and then bumping people - something I refuse to support.

It's only 6 or 7 hours in the air. I go with whoever has the best price. I can, and have several times, put up with Air Transat's tight seating. I can handle it for 6 hours. I eat before we take off and don't ask the cabin crew for anything so I have no idea if the service is good or not. Movies? No idea. I have a laptop and tablet so I watch my own stuff.

What I do know is the last 3 trips to France, at the time I booked, AT was about half the price of AC. And for 6 hours, I'll keep the extra cash for the holiday itself.

How long are the flights? Only AT will have direct flights, the remainder will require you to change aircraft somewhere.

If you do decide to use a connection fly KLM as it means you don't have to pass through immigration until you reach Glasgow rather than worrying about it at Heathrow
