...would go on to the Thomson website (as Portland is an umbrella company of Thomson & they have their own everything!) & see what we would actually be getting for our money & to be honest I was a little disappointed. I didn't expect big things as I knew it was only a cheap price but I started to think that maybe I had wasted our money.
From what I could grasp we would be getting
*An extra 5 inches legroom economy being 30inches & premium being 35 ... ...which consisted of a plastic Thomson bag in the shape of an eye patch that you use to sleep you got one of those eye masks, a flannel, tooth brush, tooth paste, lip balm, hand cream & bright green travel socks.
Overall the flight home was good the only thing that I didn't like was the fact that there was 3 different films again Hitch (which was good) A sharks tale (which my boyfriend liked) & Million dollar baby (which I really liked) but these ...
