Hi,we are flying from Manchester to Sanford (TCX472) on 16/4/11, can anyone give us any info on IFE, meals, drinks and anything else that maybe usefull to know? Also return flight on 30/4/11 only has 29" seat pitch (TCX473) the info I have says the plane is an A330 both ways, so how come different seat pitch for return flight. Any advice would be appreciated and thank you in advance for any replies.

TCX have 7 x a330s, from May 1st 3 of these have more seats put in so give 29" seat pitch. Of course this cannot all be done on the last day of April (planes are flying and it takes 3 days per plane)

The 3 x planes have to be prepared/seats put in, prior to 1st May so all ready, unfortunately it happens just before your flight and you have been allocated this particular plane for your SFB flight home

IFE is seat back, on a loop system, one plane has on demand films. so 1 in 7 chance of getting this one.

2 x meals - main meal and a snack.

drinks chargeable for everyone.

hey mikebravo...

Just seen the post before this, and Im presuming it will be the case that all 332's will have 29" pitch? I flew to punta cana last year and was impressed by the legroom. Im looking to go again in may/june but would think twice for 29" on a 10 hour flight...

Im guessing thats sort of standard now for most airlines. sardines it is!

No, as I said only 3 x will have 29" seat pitch, these do Canadian flights and short haul

Normal long haul flights will op on aircraft with the better leg room (the other 4 x a330s), this will be the norm from beginning of MAy (when the 3 x aircraft have been refitted....) and aircraft are all in place

We're going to Arricefe on Thursday from Manchester Airport with Thomas cook. Our tickets say our flight is 8.00am but Manchester Airport say the only scheduled flights with Thomas cook on thursdays are at 7.15am and 8.45am. Is our flight more likely to be the quarter to 9 flight? We have transport booked to get us there early, but don't want to be waiting around for hours without check-in open!

Thanks in advance.

Hi jadeyrawrr ... if there is more than one flight operating that route on the day as you suggest, then it may help the aviation experts to clarify things for you if you could supply your flight numbers.

I called into Thomson today to ask if they would allow any extra allowance for me to take items for the Red Cross.
They called Thomas Cook airlines as we are on a TC flight and they have allowed me and my husband 10kgs extra!
This can be combined but has to be in a separate case/bag.
I suppose this is so we cant cheat and use the extra allowance for our own use.
I think is a really nice gesture. :tup
