[sueles810]

Hi, we are flying ou in October with T***** C*** and just looked at my booking confirmation it says plane is B763 does this mean anything to you wise people as to the size of it? just wondering if I will need to book extra leg room as hubby is a big chap
Thanks

The plane is large, Boeing 767-300 however TC pack people in so leg room won't be good, I would advise extra leg room if your husband is a big chap like me.

Picture of you plane can be found at http://www.airliners.net/photo/Thomas-C ... 9893d5e98d

The seating is 2+4+2 and they carry 326 passengers

Am almost sure that the TC Boeing 767s have 29" pitch seats. .... it lists the plane as a B763 which I remember I read somewhere is the abbreviation for the Boeing 767-300 series.
Whatever the plane with short haul flights I think anyone who is more than 5ft nothing struggles to be comfortable with the seat pitch so goodness know what it is like if you are around 6ft or more. I would if I were you book extra leg room. The added bonus is of course that if you get to sit together you will also be more comfortable!

Ask for Seats as follows - 13 A,B,C,D, or 15 A,B, and G,H. That's on the 757 by the way, other set ups may be different.

Extra leg room but not the normal exit seats you pay extra for !!

And great views of the in house tv monitors !

Don't tell everyone or I'll miss out next year......ah, well, if I've helped someone !

Flew to dalaman and back on one of these planes, pretty big in size and not a great deal of leg room but i managed to sleep on one (im 6ft 1") and there was little room to move but was comfy enough.
On the way back we were in the seats right in front of the emergence exit and they dont move back so try to make sure you are not infront of an exit or else youll not be able to recline!

in my opinion you shouldnt be able to recline anyway! I think its the absolute height of rudeness when everyone knows how cramped it is and then the person in front of you reclines, it drives me up the wall! I think short hauls shouldnt have the option.

I agree 100% with you on this. Unfortunately this lack of consideration for others is all too common these days. Some people are so selfish its untrue. Its about time these charter airlines with short seat pitches made all seats non reclineable as Ryanair have done on all their planes.
Strange the seat in front of me always seems to be jammed and wont recline lol,
