Re: dreamliner

topofthetower,

You'll find lots of information about the seats on our What Aircraft? guide including seat plans and description of the ones with most seat pitch. If you want room, the premium seats are the ones to go for. The economy seats offer similar room to the 767's. They're configured 3-3-3 rather than 2-3-2 so you'll have to factor that in if you need easier access to the seats, especially window seats.

Re: dreamliner

Actually, we were disappointed with the premium cabin in the dreamliner... the seats were OK, but the "console" between them projects too far forward to make egress from the window seats anything other than awkward, even for "normal sized" peeps... if you're large, then it's a bit more of a "faff" and you'll disturb your neighbour...

Re: dreamliner

thanks merseygull I am on the larger side that's why we like the extra room in the premier seating but if there isn't much difference we might not bother :cheers

Re: dreamliner

Then IF you decide to upgrade, I would reccommend the front row of seats...

Yes & if the passengers in front recline their seats it doesn't leave much space to get in & out. We were in Row 1 & someone asked me to put my seat to the upright position so they could get out although only the one time.

I do believe Thomson though are removing some seats in PC to remedy this problem.
