Advantages: none

Disadvantages: cramped uncomfortable seating arangements

Never again will I take a JMC holiday. Comming back from Malta in May 2000 I had the most uncomfortable flight of my life. Now I am a Large lady but I have flown tens of thousands of miles round the world in aircraft of varying sizes and shapes, but never in all my years of travelling have I been unable to sit in the seat allocated to me before.
I ended up with 2 seats as a couple did not board due to a sick child. However I spent the whole flight with my seat belt unfastened and the seat arm up. I was uncomfortable and twisted which agrivated an old back injury.
The cabin crew apparently did not notice that I was not complying with safety regulations - they were just concerned in getting the flight off so as not to miss their slot and incur penalties.
Complain - yes I did that and went to ABTA but they upheld JMCs defence that the seating arrangements conformed to the CIA requirements.
So be warned if you are an unusual size or just like to be comfortable on a flight - do NOT fly with JMC.
I know now that if this ever happens to me again I will not try and sit down but will just stand there and make a fuss and even canvas other passengers until JMC have to do something about it
