Going to Toronto for Christmas, anyone got suggestions for which is the preferred airline, eg BA or Air Canada etc..
I'd like to stay in a decent hotel city centre, so again looking for suggestions.
Thanks in advance to the chit chat travel agency.

We stayed here:

http://www.onekingwest.com/

It was very nice, there's a gym in one of the upper floors with a water-flow pool (i.e. it's very small but pushes the water at you so you can keep swimming against it), and on each of the gym machines there's a TV which can access all the same stations you can get in your room INCLUDING all the porn ones you'd otherwise have to ask for. Pure filth apparently.

Can't remember much else about Toronto, most of it's underground in the winter. Ottawa was nicer than expected. Flew with BA and their usual cheerfully miserable gruffness. Air Canada are fine too, but I recall the planes had a lot of exposed wiring between the floor and the fuselage, felt a bit half-finished. Didn't crash though, so that was a bonus.

Air Transat if you want to fly direct and you're on a budget

Don't forget your overcoat. We went there 10 years ago in April, and it was pretty cold. We went to Niagara by train, but a car would have been a lot quicker.

Transat, that's it, was trying to think of their name. Yes, perfectly adequate and certainly no worse than BA/Air Canada.

Thanks to replies so far. Checked out Transat, they only have fares up to July atm, and looks like the later you book the cheaper.

The gf is from Toronto. I would definitely recommend going to the following bar. Its right next to the Air Canada Centre.

Not been to Canada myself but I emailed a mate who moved out there  6/7 years ago as I know he comes back two or three times a year.
His advice is to look at the prices of flying there with Air Canada and back with BA.

Hope it helps johnizere.

Don't know if it's the hockey season but a visit to see the Maple Leaf game is a must if you get the chance.If you go to Niagara try the helicopter ride around the falls, you see much more and you'll get drenched on The Maid of the Mist boat trip.Grin
