Now known as Star Class, the new 33” seat pitch in economy offers more legroom than ever before. Additionally, passengers will benefit from drinks before take off, a four course lunch menu and a choice of landing snacks. On the entertainment side, all seats in Star Class have a 7” seat-back widescreen TV with complimentary headphones, offering a large choice of in-flight movies, music, documentaries and a dedicated kids’ channel.

Can you really pause, fastforward etc the TV?
Yes In Skytime Premier you can Pause, Fast Forward so on. Just as you can on say Skyplus or a DVD recorder.

My friend only has experience of Star Class Premier so here we go direct from the email i got.
😎 How good can airline food actually be, however in Premier we did get china plates a glass and a china cup. Meals were no better no worse than those on Virgin Upper Class last year.
Yes. Deffinatly in the Premier cabin anyway. However he thinks that the economy may get them for the sunsail flights to Antigua not the direct FCT flights operated by FCA.
He has seen worse on sky movies than Skytime Premier. Very Good choice. 10 latest movies, 10 latest games (he cant remember exactly because he didnt use them), 30 TV programmes. (Not channels, programmes so say just one 30 minute program)
All VOD Video On Demand and easily menu driven also you can view the entire duty free collection, and the very nice skymap.
Laptop Port which he didnt use.
Anymore questions i will ask.
Cheers for all that 😀 1 more question lol, can you really pause, fastforward etc the TV?
Cant wait to use FCA long haul now lol, tell your mate cheers for all the info, much apreciated 😀

Do you really get free drinks for all the flight including pre take-off?
Yes. Deffinatly in the Premier cabin anyway. However he thinks that the economy may get them for the sunsail flights to Antigua not the direct FCT flights operated by FCA.
What is the seat back tv system like?

You’ve really got to admire First Choice Airways for being the first charter airline to make this move. If I were jetting off on a long-haul holiday, I would always want to fly with the scheduled carriers, but First Choice Airways and its new long haul product would almost certainly make me think again.
33″ of seat pitch is very impressive. I know EVA Air had the same in their Economy Class and it was ample. Compared to Thomson, which offers a dismal 28/29″, its great.
