noooooobs,

Well spotted! Tray tables and screens do still fold out of the arm rests, you'll notice the seats have solid sides and are different than standard seats. You can't be expected to sit forward and use the ones on the seat backs as it's too far!

Hi there

Im booked to fly with my two teenage children to sanford from birmingham on 23/6/13 tom630

One of my children has a medical condition which means i may have to assist her urgently at times. The airline are happy to carry her and she will have a fit to fly letter from her paediatrician.

Welfare have suggested seats 11cde fior us. Anyone tell me much about these. Mainly i need enough room to be able to grab stuff out of her emergency bag and give her drugs if necessary.

I know these are close to toilets which is handy in some respects as i will always be nearby then but bit worried about people cutting through the bulkhead space/standing there.

Thanks for any help you can be

If one of your children has a medical condition then they won't be permitted to sit in row 11(assuming an ex-FCA 767) this is a stipulation by the CAA. I recommend row 14 AB or FG. Unfortunately the configuration of these aircraft means they don't have many seats that can be used as welfare seats. Standards seats are quite roomy on Thomsons long haul aircraft, certainly enough to administer intravenous drugs, oxygen etc..
The fitness to fly certificate will not bypass emergency exit regulations. I am quite shocked that the welfare team are suggesting these seats. Who ever occupies these seats needs to be able to operate an exit door at any time, which if your daughter is in a situation (hopefully not) requiring her treatment she wouldn't be able to.

AngS,

You have to bear in mind the online seat plans don't show all the aircraft details, only the position of seats. Your flights should be operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER as BY-TOM-AMM-FCA mentions. You'll find a detailed seat plan on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) where you'll also find extensive aircraft information including photos of the seats on row 11 and 14.
