We wanted to go in May do you think it will be sorted out by then?

Thomson's won't have quite so much room as, while they will have the same 33" forward pitch as First Choice, I understand are staying with a 2:4:2 layout. FCA have removed one of the middle seats (2:3:2) to give a little more elbow room and width as well! Still the extra legroom is FAR better than the sardine cans they are currently cramming us into.

This would be my order of prefference for UK charter airlines:

First Choice (Boeing 767-300ER)
My Travel (Airbus A330-243 lower if the 767-31K's are assigned)
Thomas Cook (Airbus A330-243)
Thomsonfly (Boeing 767-304ER)* May change with the new interiors
Monarch (Airbus A330-243 / B767-31K)

Happy flying

I have been to Mexico three times and always uses MyTravel Airways. They use a Airbus A330-200 aircraft, and on each occasion i have travelled to Mexico, i have had no problems or delays. In our opinion, we prefer to travel on an A330, and Mytravel and Thomas Cook give us best value for money, as we always book a packaged holiday. So i can't comment on ThomsonFly or First Choice, but the IFE is great and the flights tend to be smooth.

Thanks for all your help

It sounds like thomsons at the moment are at the bottom of the pile and first choice and my travel are the better options. Just hope the holiday we finally decide on is in one of their brochures.

Thanks again for all the advice
