I flew back to Manchester from Santorini last week on a ex First Choice 757. Jeeez were the seats cramped, my legs started swelling before take off. I couldn't get extra leg room, but I will next time.
The "meal" was repulsive noodles for starters, followed by 2 boiled sausages with smash with green bits in it, followed by a piece of cake that wasn't bad. This meal was very poor. Whatever happened to the decent meals we used to have on Air 2000? Buck's fiz for breakfast and a hot towel to clean up.

Not wanting to be too critical but why when going on holiday are people so concerned which film is showing. You can't watch them properly anyway. What's wrong with books?

To help pass the time while on the flight? I actually quite enjoy watching a film on the flight, providing it's a good one with a story. It's a good way of keeping youngsters entertained too. Roll on September when there'll be enough time for at least 3 during the 11 hour overnight flight! There won't be the option of watching a film on short haul from November (or meals) so books it'll have to be.

Soon people won't be able to complain about meals but I for one will be glad because people still expect gourmet food really!

I flew Premium last Nov/Dec I actually thought the meal was pretty good - pleasantly surprised.

A nice film is good to watch, I don't want to read for 10 hours.

Morning Darren,
Roughly a month ago you kindly let me know that plane operating Tom022 departing on Sunday the 26th June 2011 from LGW to Cancun would be flying in from either Montego Bay or Sanford. Now we are finaly nearer the departure date would you know which flight is more likely operate so I could have a good idea if we can expect delays at the airport?

Many thanks in advance from an over excited chap who is looking forward to 14 night at the Grand Riviera Princess Resort!!!

gooner1977,

The incoming flight has changed a little. It was Montego Bay (TOM024/5) up until the beginning of June, but the last three flights before have been Sanford (TOM046/7) so I would assume that one. I stayed at the Grand Riviera Princess last September, you're in for a treat but take a good pair of walking shoes as the place it huge!

Thanks for your quick reply as normal Darren. Yes I heard the place was big, at least I will walk off the "all inclusive food & drink"

Darren is it still possible for you to see what in-flight entertainment is going to be on our flight? No problems if not. :tup

Many thanks,
