My Travel: Premium Seats worth it?

[JamesG]

Anything paid the extra for the premium seats on the My Travel flights?

Just wondering if that or the extra legroom (£70pp) is worth it?

Thanks

Personally anything that gets you out of economy on a My Travel flight has to be worth it. We flew economy to Cancun last year and it was very cramped.

lol

we did as well In Septemeber, didnt think it was too bad. But as we're going over to get married this time i wouldnt mind a bit more comfort.

We flew Premium with MyTravel last August and flew Economy with MyTravel this Easter. Would definately go for Premium. More legroom and seat width, think the seats were leather. Extra film and seat back tv's. Free drinks incl alcoholic.

I can't understand why people are so bothered about leg room and seat width when the airlines seem quite happy for people to walk around and stretch their legs from time to time.

I can't do that-I have to sit there for 9 hours-but am still happy to be in economy and spend the extra money in Florida.(Although I never refuse an upgrade if one is offered!)

I could understand it-if like me everyone was tied to their seat.

Puzzled?

james,

do it .............we flew in may and upgraded at the airport for £90 each. we were so impressed that we upgraded the return flight as soon as we landed!!

pluses - you dont have to be checked in until 30 mins before departure, slightly more baggageallowance?, first onto the plane,champagne/ orange juice as you sit down, free drinks, bigger more comfy seats. biggest plus - your bags will come off the plane first. we were bagged up and customed inside 5 minutes with car keys in my hand when we flew into sanford - unbelievable. on return, 1 person in front of you in queue. 45 minutes before flight. only waited about 10 minutes before being boarded first etc [8D]

Trev,

So glad to hear that My Travel have changed to champagne/Orange juice as you sit down, when we travelled Premium economy 18 months ago it was Cranberry juice and Vodka cocktail! Also the baggage handling was a joke, the premium luggage was the last off the carousel and the My Travel rep told us that the promise of priority baggage handling wasn't worth the paper it was written on. If you also got the car you ordered and paid for as well, without an hour of arguing, maybe I didn't waste my time writting umpteen letters of complaint that I thought had been ignored maybe they were too busy putting things right to have the time to thank me for all my suggestions [msnwink][msnwink]

Think i will go the extra, gettin married over there so the extra luxury will be a good start.

We had the same experience. We upgraded on the return flight from Orlando and when we arrived at Gatwick ALL the bags with the Premium Economy tags on them came off last - not just ours!! It was well worth the extra money for the comfort and extra leg room though.
