perkipsie,

LGW-CUN-LGW (TCX087K/L) are operated by an Airbus A330-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi, I hope am posting in the right forum.

This may seem like a daft question, but we are booking to fly to Goa with Thomas cook. I just wondered how long into the flight the meal would be served , the flight we are interested in is economy - leaving Manchester at 08.20 in the morning, and I was hoping to be able to get asleep for a few hours also.

We have never flown long haul before and as its an 11 hr flight - was wondering should we also pack sandwiches etc. The furthest we have flown is Egypt so wouldnt usually do that as the meal is usually enough. Any advice would be appreciated.

Suo,

Meals are normally served approximately 2 hours in to the flight. The pre-landing snack is served approximately 90 minutes before landing. Snacks are available for purchase onboard, but sandwiches may be a good idea if you think the meal won't be enough.

Hi Darren,

We're travelling to Punta Cana with Thomas Cook on Wednesday 26th January, departing Gatwick at 0850, returning two weeks later, arriving into Gatwick at 0730 on Thursday 11th February, TCK013K/L. I already know that it will be on an A330-200.

Just a couple of questions:

- the flight operates via Glasgow in both directions. Can you let me know what time we are due in/out of Glasgow in both directions?
- do you know which flight the aircraft will be operating before ours so I can keep an eye on potential delays?

Regards,

Tom

TMW9725,

You'll normally be on the ground in GLA for 1 hour. I can't give you the times though, I don't have them to hand. The flight comes in from Cayo Coco / Holguin, Cuba or Orlando Sanford.

Hi Darren, thanks for that info, 2 hours into flight should be great and then I can hopefully nod off for a few hours! Good to know they serve a 2nd "snack" I was wondering about that on such a long flight.
I am quite apprehensive about the flight , because 11 hours just seems so long.
We cant afford the premium seats as its a xmas holiday, which is costing double what it would cost any other time.
Hopefuly the seats should be OK as they are advertised as exactly the same as Thomson and First choice in long haul economy. thanks - S

Suo,

11 hours may start to drag after a while, but it's not too bad. Now 14 hours, there's a long flight! Most of my flights there days are long haul. Just make sure you go prepared, ie a book or something to keep you occupied in between films and you'll be fine. Seats are the same pitch as TOM/FCA, but a little narrower. Having said that, what are your flight numbers? Some of the Goa flights are operated by a Boeing 767-31K/ER (winglets) rather than the A330-200's.
