Thomas Cook Premium Economy

1927sully · 23 Aug 17, 06:57 PM

Have a chance to upgrade from Economy to Premium Economy on Thomas Cook. Ł86 per person on top of what we have already paid (4 of us, so Ł344 more). Is it worth it? Do the benefits justify the spend? - This is only for the journey to Orlando. No PE on return flight at all.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

If it return price I would deffo say yes as you get better seats and service. Don't think drinks are included in Economy and we got offered quite a few in PE plus free IFF which I think is normally Ł5 each. Plus it is good to be first off plane.
We upgraded, though can't remember for how much.

If that is both ways then good deal.
Bigger seats more leg room Alcoholic drinks included.
Fast pass security at certain airports
Premium check in
Free head phones
Full entertainment package
More luggage

We always book premium just for the space

... just quoted Ł390 pp ONE WAY

... only paid Ł399 for the return flight ! Someone's having a laugh !

If it's return definitely worth it for extra luggage allowance to bring all those goodies back!
We paid Ł50 extra for Premium to fly back and enjoyed everything about it. The smaller cabin, more room, cost of drinks included plus don't have to pay for IFE.

Many thanks for your replies so far.

This is only for the journey to Orlando. No PE on return flight at all.

I have also amended original post.

I think if I was you I would decide whether you have the extra cash to spare or whether the money would be better spent on something else like a nice meal.

I love travelling Premium Economy so I would book it as a nice treat to start the holiday. Others wouldn't because they would rather use the money for something else.

Shame about it not being available on the way home as you really can't take advantage of the increase in luggage allowance.
