I guess, "my point" is that I haven't come across very many (if any) threads (in the US Airline Forums) that refer to "trailer trash" --- or specifically the socioeconomic classes of the leisure travelers. But, I might have just missed them. 
In my most humble opinion, it isn't proper to refer to people in such a manner. But, that's just me.

James, I shall let the Liverpool comment go, but if you see 3 guys with perms coming towards you change direction quickly!!!!!!
The picture being painted of Larnaca and I assume Cyprus, makes me think we may not bother at all. We were planning on staying in Ayia Napa, so I assume that may be even worse. We, who am I kidding, my Wife will decide where we go over the weekend.
Thanks for all comments.

I guess we're just a little bit too PC over on my end of the pond. (LOL)
Didn't you know, the proper way to do it, is to insult other passengers (on the plane and at the gate) via text message (to your traveling companions and friends).
But, on WN, they make it a point to "surcharge" those that are COS when checking in. But, no current "surcharge" for "white-trash."

Yes but they are a better class of chav in CE. Last week we had a bloke in a string vest in 3A, drank beer the whole way back. But he was quiet and non-offensive.
The over-60s are far more of a problem in CE - they moan and complain about absolutely everything, they drink all the champagne, and they spend ages in the toilet.

If First Choice are offering the "upgraded" 767 flights with dedicated check-in, bigger seats with around 37" leg-room, (aircraft usually on long-haul i.e. Goa, MCO, ANU, BGI) then this is a no brainer, IMHO... The seats are MUCH better than CE seats, (possibly avoid last row) catering is fine, crew... well can be excellent.... sometimes not... What about departure airport???? is LHR T5 handy? Most of BA's 767's are very tatty...

LCA sunjet lounge
Exactly as Cyba stated, that was it to a tee today, and even the massage chairs were being used as ordinary seating.
the flight was bunged with even the jump seat in use (crew id90 i think). excellent service in CE from familiar FA's and CSD thank goodness.
funny behaviour from some pax as usual. got into my seat to find a laptop bag in my footwell. reported it to staff as an item left behind, who were removing it when another pax piped up that it was theirs (Bl**dy cheek!- and as it had a BAEC Gold tag, they should know better.)

My flight to LCA on Wednesday has CE back to row 14. 
That's me and up to 67 wrinkleys, drinking the bars dry.
And at 5 minutes per toilet visit at one an hour per wrinkley, means I better not need the toilet for the entire 5 hours on board.
