    OP, work out which plane you are flying on and then check it on Seatguru.

    If you're unfortunate enough to be travelling on this flying cattle truck, then it would probably be money worth spending.

    But if you're on a flight with a 33" seat pitch, that is already (comparatively) spacious.

    Ha ha I'm pretty sure it is one of those 757s
    Opinions are like ar*eholes - everybody has one!!!! :D

    I think this Thomson Charter flight scarred me for life and to add salt to the wound, the flight was delayed by over 6 hours due to lack of enough food!!!! I actually don't think I will ever use Thomson ever again!

    Good luck OP!

    at least you have the option of paying for (some) comfort.

    This sardine can with wings only offers 1 level of discomfort.

    We flew Thomson to Cancun with the new dreamliner and it was great! No need for extra leg room, very comfy.

    I meant inches like 2" certainly not worth extra £75pp!

    Spent 4 hours on Thompson to Tunisia once. 2" would have meant my feet could touch the floor, instead of being stuck with my knees jammed into the seat in front. Would have paid £75 for that in retrospect!

    If I'd received any. They've ignored my 1st letter, my NBA, I've yet to issue proceedings, will do so this weekend. When it comes through I will be happy.....but I guess they really just want me to suffer a bit longer and do all the leg work first, T WATS!!!!!!!!

    To think they initially sent me £40 vouchers as compensation!:eek:
