To Thank Thomas Cook for clarifying the matter of paying to sit beside your children

[Groovee]

I flew Thomas Cook today to Florida. I paid extra for seats together and got to choose where we were sitting.

We decided to go on last because we had seats and there were near the cabin door. When I got settled a family were not happy that they had 5 single seats. The cabin crew were quite adamant that they could not ask customers who have paid to choose their seats to move.

So last weeks thread is solved

Oh and as he siblings are still classed as children they get half fare so it is cheaper than flying

When I buy three theatre tickets on line I get three tickets next to each other. When I bought Olympic tickets last year online we were seated together. So why can't airlines do the same? I buy three tickets I expect the three tickets to be next to each other. It is a rip off and just another way to make money. They know in advance the configurations of tickets so it isn't rocket science to work out!!!

if you pay to sit next to someone - they also have to pay to sit next to you, it is the biggest con ever.

The only reason that the airlines charge for seating is due to the fact they can and people will pay.

ivykaty44 You can drive from London to Mercia in a couple of hours.

Yes you can drive to Mercia in a couple of hours. I do so regularly from London.

Straight up the M1.
On the other hand, Murcia takes a bit longer.

could you show me on a map where Mercia is please?

Sally that will be the mercia you can drive to in a couple of hours - where is it near?

Google is your friend.

Sally mercia was in the past an area stretching from the boarders of sussex to northumberland - but then as you left london you would already be in mercia as it was incompassed int he area.

I used to listen to the radio station but it isn't a place any longer

You asked me where was Mercia that I could drive to in two hours. You have found the answer.
Now please tell me where was the Mercia that you can fly to with Ryanair? I have looked on their website but it doesn't seem to be listed.

wel if yu cn't find it then posibly yu will nevr get to go their sally, but then it will not be there loss

No, looks like I never will. But I have been to Murcia though, and enjoyed it.

Terrible airline policy!

well be careful in that time machine on the M1 hit the wrong button and you could end up in the ducking pond

Seriously though *ivykaty44", I would suggest your DD and family consider going to Murcia instead. The weather is certainly better. Goodnight :)
