Been watching the VH site for a while now and innundated with Sale Emails. So far completely unimpressed with anything VH have to offer so weve taken the plunge and booked with Thomson for this year, were on a dreamliner so a new expereince coming up :-)

We flew PE on a Thomson 787 to Sanford last year. It was a fantastic experience from boarding to exiting the plane. We will probably repeat the experience on our next Florida trip - unless VS tweak their PE price of course. ):

Ive seen a few comments on "Premium Club" including a few who rate it as better than VS PE - what was your first hand experience like compared to VS ? at the minute we have booked seats with extra space (36" min seat pitch in EC)but im tempted to upgrade but its another £500 !

Not wishing to diss the Thomson product, for me, on balance, VS PE wins and, with the intro of the Dreamliner, should get even better. The Thomson food, drink and service options are good. Sanford is a bit of a non-event IMHO, but much quicker to transit than MCO. The TSA contingent seemed much more chilled out too. :)

When it comes to it, only you can decide if you think the upgrade charge is worth it.

Many thanks, im not sure what the exta £500 gets you apart for a 2-3-2 config and a bit more legroom. Thomson have gone for free booze in ec now so with a 36" seat, free booze and only an 8 hour flight im not sure if the £500 is better invested in treats when we get there !
