What's the flight number, Tammie?

I think you posted on TA about this flight but I can't see any flight from Gatwick at 07:15 (or 19:15) on Friday 12/11.

In fact I can only see Thursday & Saturday Monarch flights from Gatwick - but I might be wrong on that.

Who told you that you were flying with Monarch?

flight number goin on the 12th nov is tcx49k coming back 27th nov tcx49l

No wonder I couldn't see a Monarch flight from Gatwick on Friday 12/11 - TCX is the code for Thomas Cook!!!!!
If you were flying with Monarch, the flight number would be MON....
Reply
yes its the code for thomas cook but travel agents told us when we went to pick tickets up on mon past that it was monarch plane we r going with

I'd check with them again, Tammie - if you fly Monarch the prefix is MON, if you fly with Thomas Cook the prefix is TCX.

A Monarch flight will not have the prefix TCX.

oh pls dont im nervous as it is this being my first time to goa, hubbies 14th time but just to give me peace of mind i will ring travel agents now

Don't worry about it, Tammie.

You have your flight number and if it's not a Monarch plane (which it WON'T be with a TCX prefix) it will probably be a more comfortable flight for you.

If the Travel Agent still say it's a Monarch flight, I'd tell them the same as I said:
Monarch charter flights = MON prefix (except their scheduled flights which are ZB I think)
Thomas Cook flights = TCX prefix

Well, Tammie, that's a bonus because a lot of people hate flying with Monarch! :fly

Hope you have a good holiday.
Reply
And it probably explains why you didn't get any replies on TA when you asked if anybody was flying out of Gatwick on 12/11 with Monarch!
:rofl

Nice of your travel agent to get it wrong, and send you into a mad panic.

You used to go to Travel Agents for help and advice. The number of times I have to fill in the missing gaps for them now!
