Peter Derrick Some 20plus years ago I flew TAP Lisbon to Heathrow on a A310-300 on a return flight for a Company Business trip. I remember a complimentary bottle of Mateus Rose from the TAP lounge, a half full aircraft and one of the best flights ever. .

[@shaunyip2153]

You've taken me down memory lane, Paul. Thank you! I regularly flew on Air Niugini's A310 in the first half of the 90's. They also had the A300, and as a kid I loved both types equally, although I flew on the A310 more often. Before airbus planes, they had the legendary 707 which I still have vague but happy memories of flying in the early 80s.

[@meliskramer4520]

My memories to the A310 go way back to the early nineties when I flew them with Singapore Airlines a few times. Mostly on the Singapore-Brunei route. And if my memory serves me right, I once flew one domestically in Thailand with Thai Airways.

[@kbhn82]

I have flown domestic in Thailand with Thai and the A310, but it is probably ten years ago. Don't know if they still operates their A310..

Thank you Paul for recording this piece of aviation history. I'm fortunate in that I've enjoyed many A310 flights from YYZ to Manchester and Glasgow. Even on my final flight last year, I was surprised by both the comfort and how well AIr Transat kept these old aircraft maintained and modernized as much as possible. When normalcy returns, perhaps a Trans-Atlantic flight on one of their new A321LR single isle aircraft for comparison?

Hi Paul, I flew Cyprus Airways Heathrow to Larnaca on one of their A310 - in the mid '90s . . . . . .nice smooth flight until it came to the landing, after two attempts, one from each end of Larnaca's single runway we powered up and made the short hop to Paphos in the East of the island. After a perfect landing and a two hour wait we were bussed to Larnaca just in time to see our A310 - landing !!!!! WE were then bussed to Paphos as that is where our hotel was located . . . . .package holidays, don't you just love them !

[@bagchibhai1985]

Many happy memories of flying both A300s and A310s on Air India as an unaccompanied minor when I would fly between the Middle East and India to go to boarding school in the 90s!

[@jakehardiman7837]

"We won it 6 times" flashing up as you touched the fuselage upon boarding was an amusing touch! Flying the A310 looks like a very interesting experience, I flew with Air Transat in 2015 (LGW-YVR & YYC-LGW) but both legs were on their A330s, which were admittedly fairly nice - great video as always!

[@Ferreira0504]

I flew on a SATA A310 about 5 years ago from Boston to Ponta Delgada. It was a fun and interesting plane to fly on with its loud engines and old school interior.

[@gordonleslie3581]

Love your camera work Paul!......Flew on the A310 in Australia during the short life of Compass Airlines... They had it really tough then, both Qantas and Ansett threw many obstacles in their way. Pity, great airline.

[@rafagonzaga5738]

The interior of the A310 looks so new. It’s sad that air transat is retiring their A310s 😢😢

[@dmanonice]

I flew that aircraft from YYZ to GLA for the same reason to get the A310 before they were gone. Flew it May 2019, and I can vouch for how tight that 3x3x3 seating was!

[@Tpavra]

Great video as always! I only ever flown the A310 once on a Biman Bangladesh flight from Sylhet to Dhaka before changing onto a 777 to London Heathrow. Having only ever previously flown on British & American carriers, doing something like that made for a highly memorable trip!

[@jennywilton5490]

I’ve flown Air Transat’s a310 many times between Toronto and Dublin, Montreal and Dublin and Toronto and Belfast when they still flew that route

[@rodza23]

I've only flown on an A310 once. That was with Compass from Brisbane to Sydney in 1991. The aircraft had been leased short term from Air Canada to replace a Compass A300-600 which had been damaged at the Airbus factory prior to delivery. Great flight and airline.

[@xamuxka]

I’ve flown the A310 many times with TAP Air Portugal and with SATA International between the Azores and Lisbon. I liked the old school vibe and the smell of jet fuel while starting the engines :)

[@paavanmehta]

I flew the A310 from Boston to Lisbon (via Ponta Delgada) on Azores Airlines three years ago. All I remember is a lot of turbulence (and the interior of the aircraft appearing quite old).

I flew the A310 in 2016 from London Gatwick to Montreal. It was a great flight (a little bit too cozy in economy) but really enjoyed it.

[@wila4134]

Your early boarding comment reminds me of my flight in 2012 from Newark to Norway. Arrived in Oslo had to x-fer to a flight to Trondheim. After a long line at the immigration point and to check in to the next flight, I had to be the brash American(hate resorting to that) & jump ahead of everyone at the security line after explaining my situation to the attendant. Luckily she understood my time constraint,not to mention if I didn’t show up to my training class the next day there went 8000 euros down the tube. Hope to go back there someday soon.

[@liamdoyle9559]

I flew on a Singapore Airlines A310 back in the mid 90’s from Jakarta to Singapore. I used to travel that route a lot. The last time I was on it SQ were using the A340. They called it the ‘ Celestar’.

[@teme82]

I flew on the A310-300 back in 1996. When flying from Helsinki to Beijing via Moscow Sheremetyevo airport. The first part was on TU-154M. And the Moscow Beijing was on the A310-300. It was a nice trip one really had the chance to see the differences of the Soviet-era airlanes versus much modern aircraft.

[@craigwillis3372]

Glad the rudder had been replaced !! Phew !!! The food did not look good..strange when you are flying OUT of Paris !! Not up to snuff I would say in this class !! In Rain Man they left in the quote about Qantas and it's safety record !!! So you can imagine when flying with QF they were quite happy to leave it in the movie !! Great review mate and great to see you back.An ok trip except for the bland food...nothing like a Baileys coffee to lift the spirits (pardon the awful pun ) !! Hope you are well and safe and we are all itching to get flying somewhere soon...in fact any bloody where !! Thanks again Paul...really enjoyed it !!

Nostalgic video, thanks a lot. I flew the A310 with Nigeria Airways decades ago on a holiday. The interior of the aircraft looks a lot longer and bigger than looking at it from the outside. It was extremely powerful handled very sturdily.

I flew on a Czech Airlines flight from Dubai to Prague on 25 May 2006. Early morning departure from Dubai, flight was fine, not full. Was making my way back to Darlington UK and this was the first leg. Waited 5 or 6 hours for connection to Manchester, then used TransPenine to get to Darlo. Weird itinerary due to a work project having a contract problem and our manager said 'don't unpack' - we'd arrived the night before. So had to find quickest/ cheapest way back.

[@romeowhiskey126]

Hello Paul, I have flown a handful of times on an A310 ( Polaris CC-150). This is what the Canadian Military use for its service flights, transporting its members to locations around the world. I have flown from Dubai to Cyprus, Cyprus to Winnipeg, Ottawa to Lille, France and back all on the CC-150 . The amenities in economy are very minimal, but on a free flight who can complain... lol It’s great to see another excellent video, I hope all is well.

From Toronto and of course a Plane Geek myself! I use to see the plane land quite a few times while plane watching off of Airport rd.

At CSA Czech Airlines, the A310 routes will be replaced by A321XLR. I remember CSA Czech Airlines used to operate A310s from Prague to North America until the service was discontinued a couple years ago. I think those had a 2-4-2 layout in economy. Now apparently they are planning to use the A321XLR for the same routes. Interesting.

[@martinkajnar4225]

So will CSA be flying to North America again? That would be so cool. Do you know which cities they'll be flying to, because I think that in the past they might've flown to JFK, Toronto and maybe Montreal

I have flown with club class, and it was awesome. I actually loved the dinner I received, perfect portion and on real silverware and plates. Pretty tasty as well. Second breakfast just before landing so you’re fed and in a good mood. Seats are spacious and roomy, and it doesn’t feel so chaotic. Club class have their own flight attendant and bathroom as well. You get priority lines at the airport and get to board first. I can’t reccomend it enough!

This is an old model plane, usually there is a screen for everyone including economy, club class’s are just bigger

[@sandrocaparelli3854]

I flew on C-GSAT and C-FDAT back in 2018. I was actually on one of the last flight for C-FDAT and the captain let me in the cockpit before boarding. They did the whole briefing with me, one of my favorite aviation memory so far. Ill really miss the A310, love the old classic Airbuses with yokes. Also, the pilot called C-FDAT "F*ck Dat" lol

[@acerate]

This plane really has history! Noel flew on it, u flew on it, it lost its rudder, one of the last a310s to retire

[@sainnt]

Nigeria Airways was probably the only airline in Africa in the 80's to operate the Airbus A310, operating routes between Nigeria, Europe and other African countries. I remember what a lovely aircraft it was, and onboard entertainment in those days were the projector screens in front of each class. Good times!

[@carlfromtheoc1788]

I have seen the Concorde in action as it were. Way back in the early 1980s one made a flight to Palm Springs International Airport (which has a 10,000 foot/3,048 meter long main runway). Saw is there and it was an impressive machine .

[@jarrettallison1556]

Only flew it twice, both times on Transat. YYC-MBJ in club. Had a great experience and the food on my flights were quite delicious!

[@vincentroux842]

I worked that aircraft 30 years ago with Wardair, such a pleasure to see it still flying. The plane was delivered to Wardair in the 80s, it felt pretty new at the time, lol. I was a flight attendant with them between 88 and 91and I was doing mainly Montreal to Paris and London with it. It was my best aircraft to work on, mainly because it was a rather small widebody. As you said, it's cozy and at the same time feels spacious. But Wardair had a better configuration in the back, I think it was 2-3-2 or maybe 2-4-2, definitely not 9 across! Times have changed for sure, not for the better, at least in passenger comfort. Wardair was merged with Canadian Airlines in 1991 and Canadian sold the entire A310 fleet to mostly Air Transat but also to our Prime Minister who I think was still using it last year.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Not many left in passenger service. Mahan Air is the largest operator of the plane. Sad. Well I’m happy you got to fly an Air Transat one for the first and last time before it was retired

Thanks for the Video. Its good to see the ol‘ Lady after a Long time. When I started working with Lufthansa, it was the first Aircraft I was trained on. We loved our A310. It was very reliable, spacious and had plenty of space in the Galleys as well. We flew to EWR and to some African Destinations, such as Lagos and Kinshasa. But it was revoked from Longhaul and operated only on domestic flights, because in 1993 the A340 started its Service. 😊

I flew Air Transat A310 from Glasgow to Toronto in 2002. I seem to remember we sat at the back of the aircraft and the seats narrowed from 3 to 2 as you got to the back. I had a window seat and the seat next to me was the aisle which my wife had. Great if just two of you travelling and you want some privacy.

Love your videos and can't wait to get flying again. Flew with BA for 42 years from Viscounts to Concorde with Tridents Boeings and Airbus in between. Flew on lots of A310s.

Determined to get there as soon as possible. Was delighted to find about the trip to Saba which will be a must.

[@tall1sobay]

Have never had a change to fly an A310, and now likely never will. Love the shout out to Noel. Yourself and Noel are some of my favourite travel bloggers. Terminal 3 is indeed a strange terminal. However when I smoked, it had a nice post security smoking area.

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Congrats with soon 200k sub.! Great vlog as always! The air vents have been changed. The orginal was white plastic. I am many yrs older than you, so I flew these aircraft almost brand new in the late 80s and early 90s. First I flew them with Pan Am and then I flew them with Delta. Less than 10 years ago PIA flew them to/from Pakistan- Europe. Then they were banned from flying in Europe due to some lack of maintenance or paperwork that they had done so, so overnight all A310 flight became B777 flights. Personaly I perfer the B767. Be safe and stay safe!

Flew on an Air Transat A310 way back in Sept. 2004, between Toronto and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Didn't think it would be the only round trip I'd ever take on an A310 (or sole round trip with Air Transat thus far, for that matter), but it was a solid ride each way. Glad you got to fly it before they were retired from the fleet, especially since COVID struck. EDIT: Just a quick note that the flight map shown halfway through the video's not the correct one, as it shows YUL as the destination instead of YQB. Additionally, there used to be another option to fly the A310 - with Sata International between Lisbon (or the Azores) and Toronto, though those aircraft were retired in the past couple of years.

[@philippegosselin7756]

This brings me back souvenirs. It was on a A310 that I went to Paris on 2010. I was in economy, sitting in the aisle seat. The space under the seat in front to put my bag was pretty bad. Other than that, what you showed of economy looks exactly like it was in 2010. As a canadian, I like Air Canada but my wallet prefers Air Transat. When they fly to the same place as Air Canada, Air Transat is often a lot cheaper. Last time I took Air Transat was in 2018 to go to Portugal and all seats in economy had a personal entertainment system.

Wonderful flight review of the Air Transat A310! The one and only time that I have flown on an A310 was back in 1990 when I flew a Canadian Airlines A310 between Toronto and Vancouver before a transpacific flight on a DC10 to Hong Kong. As an aside, the A310 did not last long in Canadian's fleet and they were soon sold to the Royal Canadian Air Force where they remain in service to this day either as air tanker or VIP transport (Prime Minister's aircraft).
