£300 for a little bit of extra legroom, fast track security and lounge access is hardly a good deal. The lounge can be bought for £20 and fast track security can be purchased at LGW for £5. You're paying £275 for 6 inches of extra legroom compared to BA and Virgin economy. Otherwise BA and Virgin economy on long haul already out do Thomson Premium when it comes to food and service. Assuming you're on a 13 hour flight, you're paying more than £10/hour for your extra legroom.
