If it's anything like the Paphos flights this month the answer is very little indeed. But at £100 for a direct flight to Cyprus who cares?

We flew Thomas Cook last year to Larnaca. Worst legroom I have had, I am 6ft 2" but there was much better legroom on Easyjet and Monarch.

I flew with Thomas Cook a couple of years ago. No leg room and I`m only 5`2" Plane was four hours late arriving at Gatwick due to late take-off which meant I missed my connecting coach and had to stay in hotel till the next day.

I am only 6ft and i consider that the max if the made the room any smaller i would struggle if thomas cook are closer i would pay the extra leg room.

Pipie

I've just booked an hour ago a return ticket flying out from Manchester on Wednesday morning to Larnaca with TC just to test it out for you

I'm only 5' 11" and have no expectation of what to expect except from the comments on here - so I'll let you know once I have arrived.

I hope the price tag of £140- return does not equate to cramped conditions

We are flying back to the UK on TC, one way in a few weeks. The hand luggage size is ridiculously small. 43cm x 28cm x23cm, 5kg, about the size of a laptop bag!

I have flown with Thomas Cook a few times. I'm 5'1 and had barely any leg room at all. We flew with Monarch last year and they were ok. Even Easyjet have more legroom that Thomas Cook flights!

Pipie,

It seemed to be worse on the return journey but after pressing the button, grunting and trying to push the seat back to no avail, you kind of come to terms with it. I found the patronising drivel about scratchcards, "bargain" gifts and charity donations at 9- decibels from the cabin crew more annoying.

But as I said before, at £100 return for a 4.5-ish hour flight, you grin and bear it.
