Extra legroom seats on the 757 are 12a-e and 32a-f

being a charter airline, I would think that any extra legroom seats would be chargable on check-in.

13F is an extra legroom seat on our 757's which is not chargeable! Row 12 and row 32 ARE chargeable. However, I believe that all flights to Egypt from MAN are now being operated on our 767 planes, which have a configuration of 328. The legroom therefore is better than on our 757s. Hope this helps!

Keeping on the Thomson theme, I just received a phone call informing me that the 767 taking me to Cancun with the 33" pitch has just went in for 'emergency' repairs, and that another 767 with only 29" pitch will be taking us!

Being the nosy sort, does anyone know what went wrong with the 'premium' aircraft and which aircraft wiil now be taking us out?

Cheers

I'm confused - They levy a charge for seat allocation. You have chosen to have a seat allocated. This is a chargeable event. I've tried, but I cannot understand where robbery comes into it? Is there some reason we are not familiar with that entitles you to receive this service for free?
