THOMAS COOK AIRLINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 757-200

Date :   15 February 2013

Review by : M Williams (UK)

Seat pitch is the absolute minimum of 27". Our 6 hour flight to Egypt from the UK was something I will never repeat. I am 5'11, my wife 5'4 and in our late 50's. If we were still skinny little 20 somethings, we might just about have managed, but the plane was mostly filled with people like us and no one had a good word to say about the experience.

THOMAS COOK AIRLINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 757-200

Date :   2 January 2013

Review by : S Kirkham (UK)

I had to splay/angle my legs to get them in, even with the magazines removed, and that's where they stayed for the 4.5 hours back from Turkey. I realise, that at 6'2" I'm not small but, this is hardly an unusual size these days. I am fit and healthy yet managed to end the flight with swollen ankles. Although I had an aisle seat it was impossible to allow even a knee to protrude, because the hard working cabin crew were using it constantly. I realise seat upgrades for legroom are an option (if available) but you at least expect the standard option to be safe. The holiday was good but the flight back so poor, I simply will not risk Thomas Cook Airlines again.

THOMAS COOK AIRLINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 757-200

Date :   18 September 2012

Review by : M Rogers (UK)

Very poor legroom throughout with an added problem that the seats in front of the bulkhead do not have any space to recline. The seat has a headrest which pushes forward forcing you into an extremely uncomfortable position. I won't travel Thomas Cook (and won't book Neilson holidays) again.

THOMAS COOK AIRLINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - A330

Date :   23 October 2011

Review by : G Cochrane (UK)

Atrocious seats for a long haul flight. Premium economy is better but a rip off price wise. The width is totally unacceptable on economy seats and you can't access the controls for the tv unless you are incredibly skinny!

THOMAS COOK AIRLINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - A330

Date :   23 October 2011

Review by : Phil Mason (UK)

I have travelled on many airlines and my flight on this aircraft from Vancouver to Manchester was the worst flight I have ever taken. The legroom was dreadful, seat would not recline and the seat back tv did not work (also on the 2 seats in front and behind me).

Thomas Cook Airlines A330 Economy Class seat review  - 10 June 2011 by Sarah Boag   (UK)

Manchester to Varadero Cuba. We were put into medical seats due to my partners disability. We were in row 8 which had an area in front of us that was used by everyone including crew as a walkway. We tried to get some sleep but were constantly trodden on or kicked. At one point people were actually standing in front of us in the area that was meant to be for our leg space. Seat width is very narrow. The worst flight experience we have ever had.

Thomas Cook Airlines Boeing 757 Economy Class seat review  - 19 May 2011 by Brian Bastick   (UK)

Gatwick to Dalaman and return. Typical cheap airline, knees jammed against the seat in front, could not put leg into aisle as it was constantly getting bashed by cabin crew and trolley.

2x3x2 formation, seat width too narrow, armrest locked down and could not raise armrest, leg room far too confined.

Thomas Cook Airlines Economy Class Boeing 757 seat review  - 22 September 2010 by Peter Malone   (UK)

Glasgow to Funchal, 4 hours! I am of average build and height but with only 30" inside leg. I could not sit straight. With my seat and the one in front upright, there was only a spread hands width between my face and the seat in front.

Thomas Cook Airlines Economy Class Airbus A330 seat review  - 3 March 2009 by David Nixon (UK)

Legroom was quite adequate in economy. Seat width a bit restrictive but bearable. My wife found the seats a bit hard.

THOMAS COOK AIRLINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 24 December 2008 by Eric Butler (UK)

We had upgraded to Premium on this flight to Kerala (10 hours) and the product does not compare favourably with the First Choice upgrade, particularly with regard to the comfort of the seat. We would repeat a previous comment that it felt like sitting on a wooden bench - had to stand up at regular intervals to get the feeling back in our legs! Would avoid this airline (even upgraded seats) unless there is no option.

THOMAS COOK AIRLINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 11th November 2008 by Peter Thompson (UK)

I sat in the Premium Cabin on a long haul flight to Canada and the seats were appalling and did not justify extra expenditure. It was like sitting on a park bench and thankfully they supplied a blanket which I needed to sit on.
