How are Thomas cook to fly with? Only ever flown Virgin to Florida. Do you get free drinks?

Its a few years back now (3?) since we used them. Needed a one way home after a transatlantic cruise, they were far cheaper than anyone else.
Unless things have changed you get tea/coffee or soft drink with the meal, all other drinks were to pay for, pricelist below, £1.80 for a soft drink.
I think they have improved slightly as we couldn't do online check in, I think you can now & they were mega strict on luggage weight.
Just booked out flights to Cali for this year, TC was an option a lot cheaper than VA but decided to go with VA in Premium Economy, almost double the price of TC Economy but couldn't face 11 hours each way with TC.

I fly Premium Economy with them, where all drinks/premium meals are included, seats recline further, there's more leg room, entertainment is all free, and there's a full amenity kit provided, including ear phones, flight socks, eye mask, pillows and blankets - you can normally find return for £500-700 per adult. Highly highly recommend it if you can find it at a good price. It beats economy with Virgin or any other airline hands down.

I wouldn't fly Economy with them, as I don't like the idea of being packed in like sardines.

We also needed a one way back a couple of years ago too. We flew in their PE cabin and it was okay. Much cheaper than Virgin but not on a par with their cabin or service.
