THOMSON SPECIAL OFFER! Is it worth Upgrading to 1st class for this much?

Hi everyone,

Thomson phoned us today and said they have a special offer this month.
We can upgrade to 1st class for £170 per person! But for our family which will be Me, my hubby and my daughter that will cost us a extra £510
I think this is alot and personally would prefer to spend the £510 as spending money in Florida and WDW !!
But i just wanted to check to see if anyone does think it is worth upgrading??

Apparently upgrade includes:

*Comfy leather Seats, Pillows and More leg room
*Better meals served, unlimited drinks, champane
*Free snacks such as sandwiches
*Kids Disney pack and meal
*Bigger screen TV's and more selection of films
*3 kilos extra in weight per person
*Check in time only 90mins before flight instead of 3hrs before
*Wait in VIP lounge (im sure she said that, not sure)

Do you think this is worth it? For £170 per person which will be total of £510 !! Or do you think it is better to save this money as it will be better spent as spending money on our holiday!
(Im thinking how much clothes i could buy with £510!!! )

Please help,

Any advice and opinions is appreciated,
Many thanks

I wouldnt - I flew to Puerta Vallarta in Mexico last year with Thomson/First Choice (they are now the same company), and we had a great flight in the economy section. You get setback tv in economy (and can upgrade to first class - with more films, on demand, games etc) for £5 per person. You get more leg room in economy than Virgin/BA and all the cabins were refurbished a couple of years ago.

This was a 10.5 hours flight and I thought it would be awful but I found economy seating on our flight waaaaay better than Virgin or BA

I would save your money for Orlando
