Robo20,

Your flight won't show on Flight Stats until it's departed and not all previous flights are recorded. What is it you're looking for? Previous departure times?

The site lists all the flights going out from Newcastle on the 11th but tcx 947 isn't there. Or am I Reading it wrong???

Robo20,

I wouldn't worry about it not being listed, it'll still be operating. You'll find most of the flights are scheduled rather than charter. Not all charter flights are shown.

Hi, we travelling as a family of 6 on a TCX flight this summer.We have booked seats together which may have been a waste of money, however,with 4 children ,we didnt want to take the risk of being seperated! we dont have back of seat IFE but wondered if there was overhead tv/IFE and which seats would give us best viewing position please?
Reply
The IFE will depend on the type of plane you are on. The narrow bodied planes do not have any IFE. If you post your flight numbers and destination I'm sure Darren will be able to tell you.

Re- the answer you gave Daz about the A320 vs B757 on NCL-REU

Which aircraft is it operated with? Thomas Cook retail list it as an A320 but as you say the row options suggest it's something bigger such as a 757

hambos,

You'll find information regarding the aircraft you're travelling on (Airbus A330-200) on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

NCL-REU-NCL (TCX947K/L) are operated by a Boeing 757-200.

Re on line checkin.

I've never done it before, so have a few queries.

I booked your seat choice in May quite a few months after booking the holiday for 3 of us. Can you still check in on line.

Also what do you do on the way home as in resort you dont have access to a printer, for boarding passes.

Also we booked row 3 in and out bound would the TC system have spotted that and linked our seats to our original booking. Reason being on our ticket book that i collected today, it says no seats booked but i assume that will be because I did the seat choice months later.

Last question I think - if i can check in online, and i find the bag drop in T1 at Manchester, do the people still weigh bags and ask all those security questions. I can just imagine as big a queue at bag drop as there would be at the main desks. I just dont know which is the best todo. We're on the 23 July 4.45pm flight.

Final query : the API for some reason had my daughter as a male dont know why, i've entered all our details and naturally put her as female, her ticket says female, passport is female but where you have the passengers name and the tick box against each name it says her name and (male after) assuming that shouldnt matter as the booking and tickets etc are correct. Has anyone had any problems like that.

Hi Bev

Re: Thomas Cook API - yep I noticed the exact same thing when I logged in to post our details. OH and me were classed as 18! Oh we wish! :rofl and our 13 year old daughter was classed as male.

When I read this I immediately checked our invoice to see if that's what we had been put down as but all was ok on there. It may be just their system putting anything in waiting for you to amend with the correct information. Although I did think it was strange with the mix up in the first place :que

The TCX299L flight from Antalya to EMA is over 24 hours late. I have been texted from a friend on the flight that they were in the air for 3 hours before landing back at Antalya. Does anyone know what the problem with the plane is please?

My friend is a football fanatic, he was going to watch the world cup final with me tonight. I've just worked out he will be in the air tonight (a good name for a song). I bet he's cross!

peekab00,

Welcome onboard :tup
MAN-AYT-MAN (TCX2848/9) are operated by a Boeing 757-200 or Boeing 767-300/ER depending on the day of departure. No IFE will be shown on the 757, but if the flight is a 767, it should have unless they decide to withdraw it from that aircraft too between now and then. Given it's 11 months from your flight, I can't say what the aircraft will be this far in advance. You'll find lots of aircraft informtion on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

If you are flying PE with TCX do you get to fast track security at Manchester Airport? If yes, is this still the case if you check in online?
