757 seating
 
Hi bayley,

Can upgrade to extra legroom for £10, ask for the foward seats or the ones at doors two. Becarefull of the infamous row 11, some of the fleet have a different layout and row 11 is missing!!

I think row 10 is also extra legroom but I spend most of my time at the pointy end so please don't quote me.

The aircraft has 6 seats a row, 3 a side with an aile in the middle. They are lettered A.B,C and D,E,F with A and F being window seats. (I think!)


Try not to get down the back end either, some fits have 3 toilets fitted at the back 1/3 of the aircraft and on a long flight with a lot of pax, it can get a little wiffy down there. :yuk:

Hope that helps, have a nice holiday!

Bayley, just a personal observation, but if you or your travelling partner are bad flyers then avoid getting right down the back of a 757. Any bouncy weather and you're pitching up and down like a see saw. Comfier in the middle. The 757 is a great bus especially on climb out.
Try airliners dot net for pics, they have VG searchable photo database and you can filter by airline.

If your planning on getting those extra legroom seats the price has gone up to £12.50, or £17.50 for the Tenerife, Las Palmas and Arrecife.
The forward cabin is prob the best place to sit, if the flight isnt full then for some reason the forward cabin is always a bit quieter than the front, so you may have room to spread around. 2abc is noramally a good option as its not always and extra legroom seat but sometimes has a bit extra space, but again it depends what aircraft you are on as there are a few different variations.
What route are you flying?

757 Seat
 
If you are not requiring extra Legroom Seats go in Row 2. Right at front and Extra Legroom Seats in front are rarely taken up so no one reclining back.

hey guys, thanks very much for the replies, my and partner arent really bad flyers, well.. im bit nervous but partners first time and they cant wait lol.

Im flying from manchester to faro on the 11th sept, ive looked all over the net for a cabin pic but cant find any but 1 which is only showing row 18 down over, was thinking of sitting there but ive been told "no wing view" :ouch:

Remember the entry door to the 757 is not at the front of the cabin. If you are in the first 10/11 rows, depending on which particular aircraft is used, you turn left on getting aboard, whereas everybody else turns right.

It has the effect of making the front rows a seperate cabin.

online check-in
 
Hey again, this online check-in that seems to be available alot now, any one in favour of this? for those that have seen my "Jet2 seat" thread, the plans that the airlines give, dont correspond with the aircraft, i mean on jet2's site for example, there isnt enough rows compared to what there actually is, how does this work?

HiflierEK 15th Aug 2007 20:08

any row between 2 and 9 would be your best bet

bayley84 15th Aug 2007 20:17

any idea why the seat chooser (sorry i forget its name) doesnt have the same number of rows the plane appears to have lol? these rows 2-9, they got window?

jet2impress 16th Aug 2007 13:02

What rows are showing on the seat selection page? I think this route is sometimes operated by the 737-400 at a weekend. Maybe this is why the correct rows are not shown.

bayley84 16th Aug 2007 15:54

its definately the 757 because the craft is split into 3, im flying out on tuesday and returning on a sunday. but looking at pics of the plan there seems to be alot more rows than on the selection page

nano404 19th Aug 2007 20:08

Gee...Forgot the site but theres a website that shows the best seats for paricular planes... anyone know what I'm talking about?

TSR2 19th Aug 2007 22:50

Seat Guru .............. but it won't show Jet2

jet2impress 20th Aug 2007 08:51

So what rows is it actualy showing? I am confused?

Sl4yer 20th Aug 2007 09:09

I'm confused...I'm sure I booked mine by clicking on the plan, not on any selection page. :confused:

HiflierEK 20th Aug 2007 23:39

OMG,,,,, Just sit where ure put they are all the same , cant believe this is going on and on

jet2impress 21st Aug 2007 09:07

Jet2.com...... would you rather sit in the middle of the FWD cabin. where its fairly quiet and you get served 1st, or would you rather sit in row 30, served last and right by the mid toilets? I know where I would rather sit, so why not prebook your seats and decide for yourself where you sit, rather than getting pot luck?

Well, since Jet2 chooses to make money from selling certain seats in advance, I don't see what your problem is! Perhaps you should just ignore it, and not read the thread anymore. :ugh:

My point is that I selected my seats by clicking on the seat in the plan, NOT by picking a seat number. So I don't understand bayley84's comment about there being more seats on the plan than on the selection page. Unless he/she is looking at a plan for a different airline (or even a 753!).
