Is it worth upgrading flight seats?
We are flying from Birmingham to Barbados next January with Thomson airways and have a couple of questions:
Is it worth paying for the seat upgrade? What is the usual seat configuration on Thomson flights to the Caribbean?

I agree with Somerset cruiser. I have flown to Barbados in Premium Economy and "cattle class" and I don't think it is worth the extra money which could be used for other indulgences. However, I have flown to Acapulco for a P & O cruise (16 hours) and definitely appreciated the extra room in PE.

With my long legs and knee problems business class would be worth the money on any flight over 5 hours.

If you can afford to upgrade, then do it - well worth it. We upgraded on a Thomson Barbados flight and it was great.

One of the benefits you get is to pay the government £162 per person in air passenger duty, rather than the £81 paid by people in the cheap seats. So if you take out the extra £81 from your supplement, it does not leave a lot to spend on extra facilities

It just goes to show we are all different, I would definitely go for an upgrade and consider it money well spent, especially for the return overnight flight which is much more comfortable. We had a very cramped return flight once with seats near the toilets and vowed never again and have upgraded since.

From the 2012 winter season, economy passengers no longer get unlimited free drinks, premium still do. Other than that I personally think its too much to pay and most of it goes to line the Governments coffers in Air Passenger Duty.
