Extra charge on flight

[sashadog]

Would you pay extra to sit nearer the front of the plane on a virgin flight? Currently got 3 seats together at the back of the plane but can pay £30 each to sit further forward and get off the plane quicker in Orlando

No.
I would get through immigration a little later, wondering what I would invest that £90 sat in my pocket on.

I guess that it really matters what £90 means in the wider context of an individuals finances. I look at it as a full day of extra work once tax and NI are deducted. Others may view things differently.

Whenever I spend any significant of money, I invariably add a third to it (or even a half if I am passing through the 40% tax threshold in a given year). I then work out how many hours I will need to work in order to recoup the expense.

Depends, would you rather have $120 (roughly 90 quid in $) to spend in the shops, or get through passport control 30 minutes quicker (and on a good day maybe not even that much quicker)

Nope, if i had already got seats together that would be that, don’t care where abouts they are .

Yes - after a long flight, I really hate the shuffling along in a queue at border control - just want to get out and on with the holiday.

[sashadog]

Yeah I’m thinking no……good to see others think the same! Also think it’s a bit of a cheek to be honest x

depends as well if you get travel sick. if you get ill from flying, sitting at the back isnt the best idea - somewhere between the front and wings is the ideal place.

saying that, if you crash... Ive never heard of an aeroplane reverse into a mountain hahaha

we got through quite quick but still ended up waiting for bags ..so I wouldn't pay extra

It’s a NO for me
£90 just to sit further up the plane 🙄🤦
That’s a meal out one night of your holiday or 2 weeks of Dunkin Donuts for breakfast 🇺🇸❤️🍩

No, not for me 😊
