Hi,

Having flown in Premium with Thomson 2 years ago, we have just booked Premium for our forthcoming trip to Mexico in August.

We are contemplating booking seat no's 1A and B due to the fact that nobody can recline onto you. However, I am aware that there will be a bulk head in front of us, and am just wondering how these seats compare to the others ...... hubby is 5' 8" and I am 5'5". We have flown mid haul to Egypt several times in the past and have always booked extra legroom seats (behind the bulk head) and the legroom has been great ...... just wondering how they compare?

Its ok in terms of legroom i have sat in the middle three seats of row1 and sometimes you tend to get knocked and people waiting for the toilet but i still think i would go for them again

Nobody answered my previous post a few pages back which was...

"I noticed you said to somebody on here that the flights to menorca would be 737.
I am going to Menorca on 9th July from Manchester.
Will it be one of these New 737 with the sky interior, hope so!!"

Please can somebody help?

hI BEfreeTODAY....... thanks for your reply.

Would you say that there is as much legroom in row 1 as what there would be in rows 2-9/10?

The reason I'm swaying more towards row 1 is that when we last flew Premium, we opted for the last row as we felt that if we wanted to recline our seats we wouldn't be encroaching on anybodies space. However, on our return flight, a young girl sat in front of my husand had her seat reclined throughout the return journey, apart from when he was eating, and even then the cabin crew had to ask her to put her seat up!!

pat,

It's personal perception really. You'll get differing opinions from those who've sat their. Personally, I feel you get more legroom in the none bulkhead rows as you can strech your legs beneath the row in front. Having said that, you won't be short of room. I'll get you a photo of them if I get chance on Friday.

Darren ...... sorry to bug you again!

In row 1A and B, do the TV screens come out from the arm rest or are they on the bulk head?

Pat,

Both the tray table and IFE screen fold out from the arm rest.

lighty89,

Welcome onboard :tup
Please refer to my post at the top of the page. I'm 5,000 miles away at the moment so don't have the information to hand. I'll check at the weekend for you when I'm back. The 737 fleet is rotated regularly. It's far too early to know the specific aircraft assigned to your flight. TOM won't even know yet.

It's actually only 4230 miles (approx.) :wave: :rofl

It's easier to type that on my phone than the exact number, I only have a little key pad! It's 6,775 km / 4234 miles @ 050T from my balcony to MAN 23R to be exact!

See you at breakfast, the bucks fizz is on me but you might need your waders!

Hi does anyone know with the new weight limit of 20Kg if i puchase the extra 5Kg i realise i will not be able to put above 3Kg extra in one case so are we allowed to spread the extra between each of our cases, ie one case with 23Kg and one with 22Kg.

On a package holiday you can split the weight between you as long as neither case goes over 23kg.

Yes my specialist airport is Manchester, so Newcastle and other airports would just be a guess
