We are due to travel 18 May from Glasgow with TC to PEK - this is a Wed flight. I have been looking at the availability and since Friday all the Wed flights are no longer available. I called TC today and they advised no problem flight still ok, however being the suspicious person I am I dont think they are telling the truth. On various other forums I noticed that they have been cancelling flights from Belfast too. The Glasgow Sunday flights are still available, however the later we go the further into the English school holiday we are which we try to avoid Has anyone else got a flight booked?

little camel,

Welcome onboard :tup
You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including IFE information, seat pitches and seating plans. MAN-LCA-MAN (TOM2700/1) are operated by a Boeing 737-800 (winglets), TCX2058/9 a Boeing 757-200. There's IFE on Thomson Airways flight, but no IFE on Thomas Cook. There are extra legroom seats available, these are indicated on the seat plans by the exits. Bear in mind this close to the departure date, chances are, they'll all be booked.

AnneJ0505,

Just because a flight isn't showing on their website, doesn't mean it's not operating. You will be informed if your flight changes. Flights are often removed from their booking system when they are fully booked and therefore no longer available for booking.

Thanks Darren

I do understand what you are saying, however all Wed flights for Glasgow are no longer available, no matter when you want to travel from now until 2 November! - seems rather ominous to me. I just dont know if our particular flight 18 May will be cancelled or when we will be advised or otherwise. If TCook do what they have been with clients in the past few weeks they will tell us 7 days before and I find that unacceptable.

Hi dazbo
Thanx for the info, since last writing to you I have spoken to someone at Thomas cook who told me that the flight would be operated by a b763, is this a 767-300 ? And if so does that mean that they have changed the aircraft from a 757-200 ?

little camel,

I can only pass on the information on my screen and it's showing a B752. B763 is a Boeing 767-300/ER.

Hi,we are flying from Manchester to Sanford (TCX472) on 16/4/11, can anyone give us any info on IFE, meals, drinks and anything else that maybe usefull to know? Also return flight on 30/4/11 only has 29" seat pitch (TCX473) the info I have says the plane is an A330 both ways, so how come different seat pitch for return flight. Any advice would be appreciated and thank you in advance for any replies.

TCX have 7 x a330s, from May 1st 3 of these have more seats put in so give 29" seat pitch. Of course this cannot all be done on the last day of April (planes are flying and it takes 3 days per plane)

The 3 x planes have to be prepared/seats put in, prior to 1st May so all ready, unfortunately it happens just before your flight and you have been allocated this particular plane for your SFB flight home

IFE is seat back, on a loop system, one plane has on demand films. so 1 in 7 chance of getting this one.

2 x meals - main meal and a snack.

drinks chargeable for everyone.

hey mikebravo...

Just seen the post before this, and Im presuming it will be the case that all 332's will have 29" pitch? I flew to punta cana last year and was impressed by the legroom. Im looking to go again in may/june but would think twice for 29" on a 10 hour flight...

Im guessing thats sort of standard now for most airlines. sardines it is!

No, as I said only 3 x will have 29" seat pitch, these do Canadian flights and short haul

Normal long haul flights will op on aircraft with the better leg room (the other 4 x a330s), this will be the norm from beginning of MAy (when the 3 x aircraft have been refitted....) and aircraft are all in place
