Thomson Dreamliner, Extra space seats and children
Save

We are flying on the dreamliner to join our cruise in Barbados.

Trying to work out the best seats for us all. There is myself and my husband both 5'10" and my two children 7 and 5 eldest one is autistic and has other disabilities. My mum is also coming with us so there are 5 of us.

I originally thought rows 14 and 15 would be good for us with a 34" seat pitch but reading on the forums, it seems the pitch will be reduced before we go Dec 2015.

I like the look of row 10 but can children sit there?

I hate it when chairs are reclined - can you still see the tv screen ok in economy standard and extra space seats? I thought it would be best as the kids will have some floor space and can move across to the centre seats to my mum too without disrupting other passengers. We were able to sit in similar bulkhead style seats on monarch with the kids.

Also is it ÂŁ40pp each way or ÂŁ40pp return for the extra space seats.

Bit stuck on what to do.

Usually my daughter gets priority boarding but just need to pick the best seats now.

Row 14/15 on the Dreamliner were never extra space seats. It's Row 10 bulkhead, (and children can sit there) and currently Rows 11/12/13 Seats A/B/C and G/H/J with 36" pitch. As you're only 5'10" bulkhead seats should be ok. For pricing you would need to refer to whoever you've booked through as your flight will be a cruise charter and the prices are down to the Cruise operator.

Hi Thanks for the quick response!

Sorry my message was a bit jumbled - if we just sat in the standard economy on 14/15 I have read they are reducing the seat pitches from 34" is this correct?

Good to know the kids can sit in row 10

Em,

I have just replied to your PM :)

Yes seat pitch is being reduced from 33"/34" to 32"/33" for standard economy seats.

Angie.
