The seat width on our aircraft's vary from 16.25 to 18 inches, depending on the aircraft type or seats purchased.
We realise that some larger customers, due to their size, often find that aircraft seat width is insufficient for their needs. For your own safety and comfort and that of other customers, you must advise your tour operator or your travel agent at the time of booking if you know, or are unsure, as to whether the seat size on the aircraft will be sufficient for your needs.
If you do require additional space, then subject to availability, you can purchase more than one seat located side by side or if you prefer, a wider seat in an upgraded class (where applicable). We regret however, due to additional costs incurred by your tour operator, you will have to pay the full cost of all seats required by you, plus any upgraded supplement per seat.
If you have purchased an extra seat due to your size, please contact Thomas Cook Airlines on 0844 855 0515.
The seat pitch (distance between the back support cushion of your flight seat and the back of the seat or other fixed structure in front of your seat) will not be less than the minimum stated in the UK Civil Aviation Authority's Airworthiness Notice No.64, issue 2 of the 29th October 2001 (i.e at least 26 inches).
The seat pitch varies dependant on the destination and cabin. Seat pitches can be anything from 28" to 35"
Should you require further information please do not hesitate to contact Thomas Cook Airlines - TCHDPreTravelAdmin@thomascook.com
Please note the seat width and pitch can change at any time which can be due to a change of aircraft.
