Hi Guys,

We are flying out from MAN-POP on 26th March Flight TCX062K :cheers

Would you be able to let me know the craft type of this flight?

We have pre booked seats online showing a config of 2-3-2 at the back, we have booked the 2 as the last flight we had my other half got elbowed the whole of the way through it.

Just a bit worried we may have wasted our money now.

Thanks For Your help

mrshurt86,

MAN-POP-MAN (TCX062K/L) are operated by an Airbus A330-200. I'll have just got back from PUJ before you jet off! You'll find lots of aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). The 2-3-2 seats at the rear are quite nice. I've sat in them many tines, not only with TCX, but with other airlines. If you're travelling as a couple, the pairs are nice as you don't have anyone else next to you. The only disadvantage is you have cabin crew performing their duties in the galley behind so you do get a little extra noise and them walking up and down the isle, but I must say it never bothered me. I'm sure you'll be more more than happy with your seat selection.

Welcome onboard :tup
Your flights are operated by Airbus A330-200. You'll find extensive aircraft informaton on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including seat plans, aircraft photos and a link to TCX's inflight magazine where the IFE is listed. There aren't any 'best' seats, it's very much personal preference. All seats in their respective cabins offer the same seat pitch and facilities, so it's whatever you prefer.

Hi , I have booked two 17 year olds and six 18 year olds on flythomascook. The search on flythomas cook help section just states that anyone under 18 must be accompanied by someone over 18. Therefore I thought it was fine to book. However on the terms and condition it says anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. So would the people over 18 count as the guardian?

Reading this has made me really nervous! And getting hold of flythomascook is impossible! Why do they give mixed information!

zaglag,

You really need to speak to TCX about this. When you call, try and phone at a less busy time, ie first thing in a morning, lunchtime or the evening, these are always busy periods as it's when people phone around work. If you can phone mid-morning or mid afternoon, it's generally quieter (I've never had a long wait around then). I would assume if those over 18 are designated guardiens for those under 18, in the way of a letter from a parent, then that should suffice. You'll need to discuss that with TCX though to make sure they're happy with it.

Hi - with 2 weeks to go we have been forced to change flights due to the arrival time back at Gatwick being too late for work/school etc.

Anyway - that aside, we are now on the 486K Gatwick - Antalya which departs at 8am. Do you know what terminal this goes from please as it doesn't appear on the Gatwick Airport website.

Hi.

We are in the process of booking our honeymoon to Rhodes. And as im a bit of an aircraft enthusiast, type of aircraft is important to me for this special occasion. I have never flown on 757 And as they are ageing now and they will slowly be declining in numbers from our skys, So therefore the choice of aircrfat will probably play a big part in the date we choose to go. We are looking to go in september, we have seen a TCX flight leaving MAN-RHO-MAN on a wednesday 0900hrs, it has given me the flight number of TCX2072. But normally TCX use a 3 digit number with the k/l at the end for dep/arr. Ive typed the number up on google whith results returning negative. Could anyone help me please, and if it turns out not to be a 757, could anyone let me know on a day flight that will involve a 757 flying us there, many thanks!

onetruenutta,

I'm mobile at the moment so will check the aircraft type when I'm back later. Rhodes are normally a 757-200 though. TCX are changing the format of flight numbers from May and they often change anually so google isn't a reliable souce of flight information, as you've found.

EDIT: TCX2072/3 are currently showing as a Boeing 757-200 for September 2011

Hi of to Eygpt in 8 weeks, four of us traveling 2 adults & 2 children aged 7 & 9. Normally I would pre book my seating but friends we travel with never do and always get sat together, but I keep worrying now and I am panicing that we won't all be sat together on the plane (is it likely to happen :que ). Do you guys pre book seats or would you rather put that money towards your holiday spends?

Also we only have a 15 kg luggage allowance each, which gives us 60 kg between the four of us, I will only be taking 3 cases, can you spread the allowance over 3 cases? ( for example 1 case weighing 19kg and 2 of 17 kg), or will i be charged for going over my weights for each cases?.

We will be traveling with Thomas Cook thought I should mention that as I know all airlines are different!!

Thanks in advance for your helpful replies.

Hi Vicky, first of all the luggage thingy... you CAN spread the allowance between cases, but be aware that some airlines will specify that no SINGLE item should weigh more than a certain amount... this H&S for the baggage handlers... check on the TC website..

next seating... the best advice that I can give you is get to the airport early and get to the front of thequeue.... if you're later then you can have no guarantee that you'll be together... given the ages of the children, the worst case scenario as I see it would be one of you sat with one child, the other with the other child but possibly in different rows....

vicjayhay,

Thomas Cook allow the pooling of luggage for those under the same booking reference. The maximum weight for a piece of hold luggage is 30kg. Anything greater than that won't be accepted for travel. Thomas Cook are very strict with luggage and will charge you if you exceed any of your allowances. I would agree with merseygull regarding the seating. However, many people pre-book or select seats these days so there are no guarantees you will be seated together. Given you are travelling with children though, one adult has to be sat with one child.
