tracytreacle1,

As Andy says, can you let us have a few more flight details please as FCA have several flights a week to DLM. If you've booked premium, this will be on one of their Airbus A321-200's since these are the only short haul aircraft they use with premium seating. I can't help you with regards to the A seat having restricted legroom due to the emergency escape slide housing, I've not sat in that seat! The IFE screen would normally be mounted on the bulkhead infront of the seats.

tracytreacle1,

Your flights will be operated with a Boeing 757-200 according to the system I have access to. Thats rather interesting since these don't have premium seats, only extra legroom.

Have a great holiday,

Just confirming it does say its a B757-200 so i'm not quite sure about premium. I know there is a A321 going to operate from Gatwick this summer.

ooops :? my confirmation definately shows premium.......the brochure shows premium supplement and i know thats what i booked...starting to worry now...if i phone eclipse will they be honest :roll: i know they won't give me extra leg room seats by emergency exits as im travelling with my children age 11 and 8......

Have just phoned eclipse and they are definately showing me as booked in premium seats. Wonder if i should phone back tomorrow and speak to another department rather than sales........

Dont worry, as i said i believe there is a A321 with premium at Gatwick this year so thats what you would be on.

Morning, I have just spoken to First Choice Airways and the lady confirmed that aircraft is an A320.....still trying not to worry, I would rather know for definate before I get to the airport, than have the upset at the start of our holiday. :D

tracytreacle1,

I wouldn't worry, if they've confirmed you have premium seating, then you will have. I travel with FCA frequently and have never had a problem with them. The system I have access to is generally reliable but if FCA have changed types since the inforamtion was uploaded for the summer season, that would explain why its showing as a 757-200 when if fact they are using an Airbus A321-200.

Have a great holiday,

gingham,

It'll be a 767-300ER, but as for which one thats impossible to say. They swap and change them on different routes on a weekly basis so it could be any of the 6 they have.

Now where've I heard that before!?! :rofl

No worries. FCA only use 763's on long hauls.

Have a great time,

Hi

Over the last few weeks I have been looking at flying to Puerto Plata and there was a sunday flight from Gatwick on 3rd Feb and then coming back 13 nights later on the Saturday to tie in with the Saturday schedule strarting. Now there doesn't seem to be any weekend flights between 20th Jan and 9th Feb. Have they cancelled some as I find it hard to beleive they would be booked up already. Any info greatly appreciated.
