757 has apparently not been refitted from its previous Iceland Air config.
2-2 Business (38" pitch)
3-3 Ecc (31-32" pitch)
No alteration for PE but they should sit you at the front of the Ecc cabin.. Without the extra legroom though. There are 5 Ecc seats just behind Business and they have 34-38" pitch so try to get these if poss.
No refunds for loss of legroom say GS as PE and Business service is as normal. IFE in Business should be Personal DVD players and the 5 seats behind business should get these as well as they wont be able to see the Ecc screens. They are beside the loo as well so take a nose peg.

Booked EDI - YHM in May and just had a look at the seat selection page on the GSM website. It's a bit different from Icelandair's in that the Premium Economy seats go all the way back to row 25! Not that I'm too bothered, but I like a view out the window, so which seats are to be avoided so I don't get a "wing view"? Also which are the emergency exits as these aren't shown on GSM's seat selection page?
The 757 looks smart, hopefully a couple more soon. Shame no winglets though!!

I was thinking of booking with GSM to Canada and was confused with the Baggage allowance. Are you allowed two bags or one, Im thinking of their PS service.
Their website doesn't say much.
thanks

Baggage allowance
The baggage allowance you are allowed with Premium service upgrade is 30 Kg's per person. If there are two of you travelling together that makes it 60 Kg's in total, unlike Ryanair you can share your baggage allowance if you are traveling on the same booking.
You are only allowed one bag per person in the cabin, same as all other flights.
Hope this helps.

Hi Carnethy
Hmmm. Not sure what you mean by 'checked the GSM website'. Unless you havent picked your seats it wont show you a seat plan?. Could you post the link you use so I could have a look please?. If PE is all the way back to row 25 it may be the new layout for the Neos 767's starting next month. Would be very interested to see that layout as there hasn't been anything listed for it yet.
If PE is back to row 25 that would hint that Business pitch has been reduced or PE is 32" and not 34"...or both.
once I've seen the new layout I'll be able to advise on exit rows, wing view etc.

Hi mm0wkj
You can only select seats once you have a booking reference (menu's also). I will try & copy/paste the link, etc so you can see, but it's a bit late and the server is showing as down. Will try again 2moro.

Carnethy,
Bit worrying if they have up to row 25 as PE . They are obvouisly getting people to pay as much as poss for the same seats. No additional legroom on that AC I'm afraid. All Ecc seats are 32". Apart from rows 7 and 8. Row 7 (3 seats behind Business, and ro 8 , 2 seats behind that. Pitch on these is 34-38 depending on where you sit). Bonus in these is you should get the personal DVD player as you cant see the Ecc screens for the IFE from them.
Recent pax on the 757 was offered £15 in GS vouchers after complaining about legroom in PE. Not much when they charge £100+ per sector for the service. Pax obviously disgusted reading their comments and needless to say, no longer a GS flyer.
Watch for them slipping in a fuel stop. 1st flight made one outbound and they didn't change the arr time so it looked like a direct flight. Arrived over an hour late after stopping in Bangor though. BAA site showed Sanford Via Bangor but GS somehow missed that.
Also,
Attempted lease of another 737 has hit the rocks. Looks like customer pressure has pushed them into trying Air Newzealand again for a 767./
Thanks 'J'
Watch the BAA site tomorrow (Wednesday) http://www.glasgowairport.com/portal...10000036821c0a
GSM 725 to Sanford. Lets see if its shows 'Via Bangor' and then check out http://www.orlandosanfordairport.com...splay=Arrivals and see if the arrival time shows up late.

Carnethy,
Seat plan is here for that 757 and it is the same as the GS plane. They have just edited it for their own site.
http://www.icelandair.com/home/trave...t-map/757-200/
Exit rows are 16 and 17. rows 15 and 16 have restricted recline as they recline into the exits. Row 17 has slightly more legroom doe to the exit. May have trays in the seat arm so the seats will be narrower and you wont be able to rasie the arm rest. PE listed seats apart from rows 7, 8, 9 and 10 will have an engine or wing view. 11 and 12 will be OK but you will be looking at the engine.

Well if the seat plan is edited from the Icelandair seat plan, they have made a complete B**** up of it.
Exit rows are 16 and 17. rows 15 and 16 have restricted recline as they recline into the exits. Row 17 has slightly more legroom doe to the exit.
Those rows will not have restricted seat recline or more leg room as the exits do not exist.
This aircraft does not have over wing exits like the Icelandair seat plan, it has the number 3 door emergency exit fit as per MON, TCX, FCA & TOM etc.
I can see this airline appearing on programs like WatchDog and the like this summer.

Currently sitting at SFB with the 767 on the tarmac, I'm booked Business so hope it is the 50" pitch. Delayed 2 hours due to alegiant air MD80 having a gear up landing and stuck on 09L.

Arrived back at Glasgow, could see the allegiant air on the adjacent runway as we took off. Equipment was A GSM 767 with 50" seat pitch in business class. Business Class almost full, Prem econ about half full, econ almost empty. Would say a max of 90 pax on board.

How can they get away with this??
Hi everyone,
We are booked on the SFB flight in April I got an e mail yesterday telling us about the changes to the flight. When I phoned, the girl, who was very nice by the way, she agreed with me but could only offer the option to cancel with a full refund, Looks like Thats what we are going to do. I booked G/S so that we did not have to fly with Continental on their 757 so am a bit fed up with this. Its going to mean a few changes to our holiday but it will be worth it ( I hope!!!) I am so glad we did not upgrade again to business, that would be a bigger mess. There are still some seats left in business for our flight but they are priced at £725 o/w, or £1300 return. What a nightmare!! Maxjet are selling proper business class for £800 return from Stanstead. Thanks for letting me have this rant.
