Debgreg,

MAN-PUJ-MAN (TCX048K/L) are operated by an Airbus A330-200, normally ex-MYT. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Everything is detailed on our What Aircraft? guide. Seat back IFE is throughout. RED is the blockbuster movie outbound. I've seen it before but it's pretty good so don't forget some popcorn!

No need for that, you'll see me having a walk up and down with the camera at some point.

Hi darren

I am flying to punta cana on 23/6/11 and i am lookin at reserving our seats our flight number is tcx314 from manchester can you give me any info on the seats at the back of the aircraft where it narrows that are configured in two s are there any bad points about these seats did not want to share in a 3 also my hubby is quite large are the seats just as wide as all the rest.
thanks marg

xxmargxx,

You'll find lots or aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including links to seat plans and I'll post cabin photos next month. The seats in the pairs at the rear are identical to all the other seats in the economy cabin apart from they are arranged in pairs (rear 5 rows). This is due to the fuselage starting to narrow at this point. There aren't really any disadvantages of these seats other than the one closest to the wall is set sligtly away from it so you might not be able to lean up aganst it like (you can on the row with 3's) and being at the rear, near to the galley, you'll have cabin crew working behind you going up and down the isles and may hear their activities. Other than that, they're great seats if you're travelling as a couple. I've sat in them many times with various airlines on the A330 and A340.

Hiya we are off to antalya again 3rd april from man 18.35 i think thomas cook, on the Api page it says on line check in open end of march, ive never done this before or heard of it, does it save you queuing up when checkin opens? also we are stopping near man airport the night before someone has said with the online check in you can leave your bags the day before is this true?

Thank you xx

One last thing someone i know lives out in turkey and they want some english sausages can i carry them in my case or hand luggage.

Darren I will look out for you and give you a wave

liana,

Online check-in is straight forward, but you still need to check your luggage in at the airport so it's not always a time saver. If you get a lot of passengers using online check-in, the queue for baggage drop off can sometimes take longer than checking-in the usual way. I don't use it when taking luggage really. Online check-in is best when you only have hand luggage. Thomas Cook no longer offer day before check-in at Manchester. Again, it's not that much of a time saver (needing to go to the airport twice) and it means you don't have access to your luggage on the day of your flight. Things like toiletries that you might need access to for the overnight stay can't be carried in your hand luggage in the main due to security restriction, ie liquids / gels in quantities more than 100ml, razors, so you have to make sure you have what you need for your stay and in your luggage. If you want a change of clothes, that has to go in hand luggage and TCX are very strict on weights. That's just my opinion though. I would be very careful with taking meat products as there are restrictions, don't put them in hand luggage. Saussages are available in Turkey, I know they aren't pork in the main but they aren't that bad!

Darren

Online check in really doesn't work for charter airlines and this was questioned when the contract for the technical side of things was discussed. What ends up happening you get all passengers checking in online then still needing to wait in line to drop bags off.
The best implementation as Darren says is when you have no bags and can just sail through security which I just did today with bmi and that was easy

Thank you Darren

Friend now lives in turkey and misses the pork but wont bother taking any. Thank you also for the info on the online check in i will just do it the old way xx

We are on fligth tcx253k to hurghada from manchester can some one tell me is there any films showing on this flight thanks

Does thomas cook bag drop at manchester airport open 4 hours before you fly please

sorry another quick question why cant you pre book seats in row 11and a few other rows thanks

Are there any premium seats like on long haul thanks

Hi Darren, I am looking at booking MAN-ACE TCX2462/3 (01/08 & 15/08) which is operated by the 763. I have read your information but I am still not sure if the IFE is in use on this plane now as it is only short haul. Can you confirm please.

a judy,

Please refer to previous replies to your posts (click on your user name) as we've answered your questions previously. There are no premium seats on short haul flights, only long haul until the end of April. There will be no premium seats on any flight from May, they are available as extra legroom seating.

Darren

Son Of Homer,

IFE is available on the 76W's being a wide bodied aircraft. It's only the narrow bodied fleet where IFE isn't shown (A320/1, B752/3).

Darren

Hello

Do you know which aircraft operates on TCX1062, LGW - PVK (Preveza in Greece) in May 2011?

Thanks for any replies

fpa,

LGW-PVK-LGW (TCX1062/3) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Darren

ajudy, ask your travel agent why you cant book those seats as i booked a holiday to fuetaventura for october half term with thomas cook and pre booked my seats and got row 11 on both flights there and back,also confirming dazbo,s comment t.c will not be operating a premium service from may [because of the passenger tax i think],but only on the outward journey you can book it for the return journey.

amitchy
There is no premium service inbound on any flights from May. On long haul you can prebook the ex premium seats as extra legroom, but there are no premium benefits.
As ajudy is not on a long haul flight there will be no ex premium seating.

EI-BFS,

Welcome onboard

I'm mobile so I cant check at the moment, but it'll be a Boeing 757-200 (most likely) or Airbus A320-200 . I'll confirm it in the morning for you. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

EDIT: It's a Boeing 757-200.

Hi Darren,

Excellent, thanks for letting me know. Does this include IFE?? So is TCX basing a B752 in Belfast for the Summer (May-Oct) ???

Hi, I have just read on another forum that an A321 is scheduled to be in BFS in July. Is this a mistake.?? Am i flying on a B752 or a A321.???
