Thomson would be my choice. I wouldn`t touch Thomas Cook with a barge pole!

Why is that Fiona? We're travelling with Thomas Cook in May for the very first time, always been with Virgin before.

Hi,
I don't know about TC, a bit biased as I work for Thomson. The service you get for premium is fantastic,with great leg room, upgraded meals,free bar except Champers, individual arm rest TV monitor and priority boarding. Economy has one of the biggest seat pitches you will get from any airline including the leading scheduled ones and is also very comfy. We travel back and forth quite a lot and have used various UK and US airlines and must say that the comfort is fantastic even in economy. All passengers in Economy this year get free meals (had to pay last year). Seat back entertainment, you can purchase the upgraded version which gives you control of which films you want to watch and also screen freeze. Cheers Paul |

We flew economy with Thomas Cook and even though they say there is good legroom, our two sons (one slightly under 6` and the other one 6`1") found it horrendous. The seats weren`t very wide and youngest son is a big lad, rugby player build and he was pretty much wedged in his seat. Crew were awful, really surly and the food was yeuch. I know airline food isn`t the best food in the world, but this was bad even for airline food. My MIL and FIL flew PE with Thomas Cook in January, they`ve flown PE with a lot of airlines (charter and schedule) and found Thomas Cook PE to be the worst. The leg room was good and the seats were wide, but they were very hard and uncomfortable, and people were getting up and rubbing their backisdes because they had got sore and stiff through sitting on such hard seats. My in-laws weren`t impressed with the food either and if my memory serves me right, all the cutlery etc. was plastic, whereas in PE with First Choice (who my in-laws really love) you get proper cutlery, crockery etc. The crew were ok, but that`s it, just ok. I hope you have a better experience with them than my in-laws did.

Thank you for telling me your experience with TC. We'll have to see what our flights are like in May but at least we have Virgin booked for the summer.
