All the fleet have exactly the same PE offering and all the flights to MCO have the VERA Touch IFE (formally JAM).

Is it worth it? That depends on the cost and how much you value the money over the extra PE benefits. Whatever you do, book as soon as you can, it's Easter, flights get very busy very quickly and prices will only rise. We have flown to MCO at Easter numerous times and if your dates are fixed its the best piece of advise I could give you.

Only you can decide if it's worth it but personally I'd say yes when you get a bigger seat with more legroom, a much more private cabin with a better passenger to crew ratio and priority boarding and disembarkation (a real bonus given the notorious queues at MCO immigration).

The MCO flights are on refurbished 747s or new A330s, both of which have the latest touch-screen on demand IFE so no worries there.

Booking doesn't open until 330 days before the flight so you'll have to wait until around May 23rd - but as Neil says get in there early as Easter holiday flights to MCO will only go up as they fill up.

Louis, I have to say that I was pretty impressed with my first PE experience over the last week (and may even get round to a TR at some point). So personally I don't see myself wanting to go back to economy again.

That said - and I admit I'm not an expert on this route - VS prices for MCO over the easter period have always looked hair raising to me; when compared with the Caribbean. £800 PE to Antigua is a no-brainer, not sure the equivalent to MCO would be as easy a sell! So up to you, is the difference worth it versus the extra spending money you'd otherwise have? Or is budget not really an issue here... Your call!
