Spanner, what bit of 33" legroom in standard traveller class don't you understand?????
You get no more in scheduled economy so quite how one would suffer DVT more with a charter such as TCX over those ever so wondrous schedule operators I do not know.
You get what you pay for. On charter, you get a meal, entertainment and the option to purchase whatever quantity of drink you would like. On schedule, you get the huge difference of inclusive drinks (if you are lucky, these days)
There is nothing wrong with travelling charter. But then again, it's more fun to have a go at the great unwashed. If you can afford to put your money where your overly active gob is, then good on yer. But for many, TCX/TOM provide the opportunity to travel to plenty of places that the schedules don't/ won't
