Thomas Cook's long-haul aircraft are getting a makeover, with the very cramped, one-class cabin being replaced by a two-class product across the fleet. The good news is that the new basic product on wide-bodied aircraft is better than scheduled carriers in terms of legroom. From April 2009, all Thomas Cook Airlines' long-haul flights on Boeing 767s and Airbus A330s will offer a basic 33-inch seat pitch, two inches more than British Airways or Virgin Atlantic.
On the narrow-bodied Boeing 757s operated for Canadian Affair, seat pitch throughout is an excellent 35 inches.
All long-haul flights include food, but getting a good seat will cost a lot extra.
Seating a family of four together, with seats numbers given out at the airport, will cost £54.
If you bought your ticket through a tour operator and want to choose your seat online, that will cost a family £40. If you bought just the air fare, the price rises to a hefty £94.
Exit seats are an extra £100 return per adult.

We flew to Holguin, Cuba on this aircraft and paid extra for exit seats. The seating plan that came with our tickets and the seating plan on Thomas Cook Airlines website bore no resemblance to the aircraft configuration. We had extra legroom in front of us but were not aware that here was a downstairs toilet as it was not shown on the seating plan. Our extra legroom... more
