Hi all,

Mystery flight TCX1152

We're flying Gatwick to Zante on 1st September, booked via Thomas Cook online. I'm keen to know which aircraft type we'll be flying on but cannot seem to see any trace of the flight anywhere or at thomascook.com!

If I do a search for a new holiday it appears but not flight only, which was what we booked. Also there seems to be another TCX flight LGW to Zante leaving just half an hour before ours, which seemed a bit odd!

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

J

JimboJets,

Welcome onboard :tup

LGW-ZTH-LGW (TCX1152/3) is showing as a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Availability will often dissapear from the website once things are fully booked.

Thanks Darren for the amazingly speedy response! :tup

Would you also know about our return, which is TCX1239? Would that be the same?

Still a bit baffled about the flight/times as there's no sign on the Gatwick website timetables or TC flight only site, but does come up if looking at a package hol?!!

Thanks again.

JimboJets,

The return flight should be the same. Gatwicks timetable will have been put together months ago so won't reflect any canges since it was originally published. The selling of aircraft seats is complicated. There are only so many flight only, packages holiday, external agents seats available. Once the respective allocation is filled, it's removed from sale so you can have a situation where there are flights only seats available, but not package holiday seats. Yours are booked so nothing to worry about.

It won't be an issue as long as wi-fi is disabled. You won't be able to use it during take off and landing.

darbec8,

Welcome onboard :tup

MAN-SFB-MAN (TCX414/5) are operated by an Airbus A330-300. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seating is personal preference. Screens are approximately every 4 rows so all seats have a view of a screen.

Mdollar,

Try FlightStats.

McSheep,

Delays happen for any number of reason from weather, ATC issues/restrictions, late inbound flights, ground handling, technical problems, late passengers, or a combination of any of these.

It's one of Sanfod (TCX472/3) or Varadero (TCX352/3).

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

Darren,

Can I seek some clarity on a point please? I've looked at the what aircraft guide and read through pages and pages on this topic and I'm completely confused.

Are the ex-MYT A332 working long haul this summer still 33" in economy? Or have they already reverted to 29". I thought this was not happening till November but now I'm not so sure.

Thanks

Until the end of the current summer season, yes. The original TCX ones are operating short haul and to Canada and are in the 29" seat pitch configuration and are leaving the fleet at the end of the summer. The A333 is operating short haul and selected flights to Sanford.
