Looking at Air Transat (Canadian Affair) for MAN to YYZ in Jan. The type is listed as A310 but the seat map is 2-4-2 with exit rows a third and two thirds back - whereas TS A310s are 3-3-3 (ouch) and have just the one mid-ships exit row.
So it's clearly a high density 767 with the exits ahead and behind the wing. Anyone know which airline it'll be? It operates every Monday, maybe someone has seen it?

Yes, I think that must be it. Was hoping for something like a Titan 767, or Jordan Aviation or something really bonkers, but it's a TS A330 in the old config. Will probably look at different dates cos plans have changed, but also cos it seems like a hollow victory to fly Air Transat and not get one of their unique* A310s. Looking forward to visiting Canada and flying across the Atlantic on an A310 one more time.
* unique mostly cos they are such a prolific operator of the type, which is almost extinct unless you fly PIA, Iran Air, Mahan Air et al. Sure there are still a few others but they're mostly quite inaccessible.

Doesn't SATA Int'l still operate A313's ?
