Hi Darren,

Many thanks for your reply. As long as someone can sit with him, that'd be fine. I see that from this summer, premium economy becomes extra legroom at 35" pitch. I think I will write/call TC to explain row 1 would be best as he is unable to bend his knees 90 degrees.

Is it correct, the rest of the cabin will be 33" inch pitch? (We are a tall family). Have come across a few posts where aircraft changes have resulted in 29". Also, would tv screens be available on both out and inbound flights. Not only am I concerned about my brother, but also keeping my 2year old happy!

Thanks for your help. I get the job of booking the hols for the whole family and travelling with my brother is a big worry. Any help/advice is gratefully received.

The A332's used on long haul have had 33" seat pitch as standard in economy since May 2008. Premium is 35" but as you know, the premium product is being revoked from the end of April and these seats will become extra legroom. Aircraft used on Canadian Affair flights last summer (on contract to them) were reduced to 29" seat pitch at their request. Odd flights have been changed to Boeing 767-300/ER's when an aircraft has a technical problem or is having maintenance carried out. You should be informed if your flights are effected by maintenance, but obviously not if it's a technical problem at short notice. IFE is available on all long haul flights. The main thing is to discuss your requirements with Thomas Cook so they have your needs on record and can make the necassary arrangements.

NCL-NBE-NCL (TCX6014/5) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi. Just to let you know as he cannot bend his leg, row 1 def would be unsuitable as there is shorter leg room for him. 1ab 1hj would be more suitable, as the legroom is much better here.

Hi ButterChickenGirl,

Thanks for your comment... would you mind just clarifying what is the difference between row 1 and 1A/B and 1H/J? Are the latter in the economy section and row 1 in premium? Sorry, getting a bit confused... Want to be clear before I book.

Many thanks!

All of row 1 (AB DEF HJ) are in the (premium) soon to be legroom cabin. No difference in legroom between 1AB or 1HJ, just a bit less legroom on 1DEF as there is a bulkhead/wall in front.

Flying on TCX173K tomorrow from Manchester to Tenerife. On the Manchester Airport website it is already showing a delay of 2.5 hours?

I would be interested to know why since currently the only TCX flight showing a delay is Long Haul. Perhaps the plane (A320?) is coming from another airport?

Any Help appreciated

If there is a delay, it's not always due to the aircraft coming in late. There could be unscheduled maintenance for example.

Thanks

Interestingly on our tickets it is down as an A320

Showing as a 752 on my screen! It may be out of date though.

One plane out of action tomorrow, so your aircraft doing an extra flight before. Your aircraft will be due in empty, positioning from AYT at 1745. It is now on an a321

on Thursday they told me it was cancelled and I couldn't get refund until it was confirmed by letter, and on Friday they phoned me to say that the flight wasn't cancelled but when I go on to website and look up there are no holidays available for summer 2011 from Glasgow .

You can only go off what Thomas Cook have told you.
