SkyTeam members Air France, KLM and Delta bring you some excellent premium fares to Montreal and Toronto with departure from Spain. Prices from Bilbao start at €1,574, while flights from Madrid and Barcelona are only a few euros more. Luckily, flights to North America are not (yet) subject to Air France-KLM’s costly seat selection or business light fares, allowing passengers to check two checked bags of 32 kilos.

Departing from Bilabo, you can choose between Air France and KLM, while from Madrid and Barcelona, Delta is another choice. Departing from Madrid, you can have your flight to Amsterdam on Air Europa’s Boeing 787 with lie-flat seats.

Between Amsterdam and Montreal, KLM flies its Airbus A330s (2-2-2), while to Toronto it also operates its Boeing 787s (1-2-1) and Boeing 777s (2-2-2). Air France flies its Airbus A350s and Boeing 777s to both places, both having a 1-2-1 configuration. Delta operates its Boeing 767s to both cities, offering a 1-2-1 configuration.

Let’s start with the negatives: Not only is Air France’s service usually below average (especially between meals), but their Business Light fare makes things even worse. Only 1 piece of luggage is included, and lounge access costs extra (except on flights to the US). On a positive note, almost all of their planes are equipped with a modern 1-2-1 business class by now.

If you’re travelling to North America, Delta is surely not a bad choice, especially if the route is operated with an Airbus plane. The seats in the Boeing 767 are good, but already quite old. The seats in the A330 and especially the A350, however, are on an extremely high level. All A330neo and A350 planes already have the Suite seats installed, which offer maximum privacy.

By now, modern seats have also become the norm at KLM. Its business class is definitely not a bad choice, also thanks to the good service. Like many other airlines, the Boeing 787 always has the newest business class seats installed.

Air Europa Business Class

Air Europa arranges seats in a 2-2-2 configuration. All seats are facing forwards with a slight angle towards the neighboring seat. While this is uncommon, it has not been criticized as too intimate. Especially the food & beverage service has received great reviews. A highlight of Air Europa’s Business Class is the baggage allowance of 3 x 23kg.

Due to the dense seating (for Business Class flights) and friendly flight attendants, Air Europa’s Business Class has been deemed to convince with warmth & personality, not luxury. A more detailed review can be found here (Boeing 787) and here (Airbus A330).
