I am to travel with my wife and three kids age 3,6, 8 GDN-CPH-BKK-CPH-FCO this summer. Found some decent prices (about 6400SEK AI ) that was much cheaper than buying only CPH-BKK-CPH.
I did notice as salesinfo that there is a possibility to buy an extra seat witout paying any extra taxes, fuel charges etc. In my case that would mean a aprice of 3500SEK, which I believe could be worth it to give the kids the extra space to sleep. Obviously this is not only for oversized passengers, but also to be used by normal passengers for personal comfort.
The info mentions that A330/A430 are excepted where armrests cannot be removed. Does it mean that this is not offer on inter-continental flights? What is we donīt want the arrest to be removed (they are after all not fixed and can be pushed up for the kids to sleep)?
Any ideas or experience about this before I contact the travel agency?
