You would think so although for a change, I was pleased I was was flying back to MAN with TCX rather than TOM last Thursday as our flight only had a 3 hour delay due to a technical issue, the equivelant TOM flight had a 6 hour delay due to crewing hours. Still, it gave an extra afternoon on the beach for those effected so not too much lost

I've came back last week from Holguin with Thomsons. I think we did really well. Flight went more or less on time. Bit of thud landing at Holguin, some of the oxygens masks dropped down.
Coming home we took off slightly early. The pilot announced he had been given the ok for a straight run into Gatwick, that or hold, so he went for it. Quite a steep descent with hardly any corrections. Good landing and we were about 15/20 mins early. Still had a 3 hour wait for the shuttle up to Manchester though!!

Flying Man-Pop TCX126 on 25th June returning tcx127 on 9th July,return landing is 07.45 which is 2 hours later than usual, Is this flight going via Belfast ? Thanks

Welcome onboard
MAN-POP-MAN (TCX126/7) are showing as non-stop on my screen and the flight times also suggest this.

ihin,
As above, it's not showing this on my screen and the return flight time suggests a non-stop flight; 17:40 - 07:15 gives a flight time of 8 hours 35 mins, including the 5 hours time difference which is about right a non-stop flight (I flew back from PUJ last week in 8 hours 40 mins).

Thats ok as i dont like landing
As we have never flown on Thomas Cook Airlines and note that our Thomson Airways flight to Sharm in September has been changed to a Thomas Cook flight (No notification from Thomsons Holidays???) we paid on booking our holiday for Seating Together are Thomson passengers allow to prebook seat on Thomas Cook Airlines???? Also i note the luggage allowance for Thomas Cook is only 15kgs Thomson Holidays is 20kgs how will this work????
Hi qatarman,
Who informed you of your change of airline and where are you flying from? We have booked to go to Sharm late August with Thomson, and due to a problem with Thomas Cook a few years back have never booked with them since, and wouldn't be very happy if we were transferred to a Thomas Cook flight!
Regards,
Pat

Hello Pat when we booked the flight number given was Tom 0294 flying on a Saturday from Manchester (3rd Sept). If you look on Thomson Airways web site you will see the flights that have been changed to Thomas Cook.I have just come off the phone to our Travel Agent(Thomson Holiday Shop who still had not been informed of the change) and it has been confirmed its Thomas Cook.
But again Thomson holidays don't consider it a Major Change they are as usual covered in the small print????cancel and lose your deposit.

qatarman,
It's not uncommon for Thomson holidays to use flights by another carrier such as Thomas Cook or Monarch and vice versa. They sometimes have seating allocated on other operators for their own holidays. Your booking conditions via Thomson holidays should still stand in terms of luggage allowance etc as your contract is with them and not Thomas Cook. You'll need to speak with Thomson in terms of seating allocation as you won't have a Thomas Cook reference number to select seating yourself so they'll have to do it for you, especially if you're paid the extra for pre-booked / selected seating. I would agree this isn't a major change unless there's a big difference in the flight schedule (more than 12 hours). Flights with Thomas Cook are pretty much the same as with Thomson Airways other than IFE so you've little to worry about.

To Darrens' comments, I'd add that I believe there's currently a difference in meals quality between TOM and TCX.
Personally, I much prefer TOM meals - I even liked "Zilligrub" when they did it!
-however I've just noticed that Thomson will discontinue pre-booked in flight meals for all shorthaul flights, starting winter 2011.
And there's the rumour that TOM may also be going to discontinue shorthaul IFE also.
So distinction between the airlines appears to be disappearing....
Hi quatarman ......... Just checked on the Thomson Airlines web site. We are flying from Gatwick and our flight is still showing Thomson aircraft. Hopefully that won't change!
Hi Darren ....... As we have booked extra legroom seats on our flight to Sharm, what would happen if we were changed to a Thomas Cook flight, would our seat numbers still be guaranteed?
Thanks,
Pat

That's assuming they've been booked, not all passengers opt for them these days, especially on the shorter legs and probably the reason why they're reviewing wheather it's worthwhile offering them (or not from November I suspect). I would agree that meals onboard Thomson Airways have the edge over Thomas Cook (in my opinion), but I wouldn't say there's that much in it.

From November 2011 on short haul the way I understand it.
Darren
pat,
You would have to take it up with who you booked your holiday with. There would be no guarantees of extra legroom being available until it was looked in to and rebooked.

Hi Darren,
not really bothered about the food ect its the sitting together and select our seat that we are more concerned about as my wife is a bad flyer/bad back and we prefer on a 3-3 side by side in the isle.I checked with our travel agent who told me that she called Thomsons for clarification and meals and sitting together will not be charged to our invoice????.She also said that they would be able to arrange seats together???
I dont know if this is a sales ploy or not??

qatarman,
That's normal, I wouldn't worry. It's not much different to you doing it yourself, but since you're flying with a different operator via a travel company, they have to do it on your behalf. I wouldn't worry, you'll get everything you've paid for. Have faith in them!

With the Travel shop telling us the "Select your Seat" which we payed at the time of booking will not be charged to our invoice it indicates to me that we cannot book this service however they say you can "Reserve your Seat".Hoping for better info from Thomsons as a letter is supposed to be in the post,depending on what that says we will decide if we want to change flights or the holiday.

Hi
Just wondering if you could tell me if our flight will be the old myt series or the new tcx series as there has been an aircraft change for our flight to Holguin (4th May tcx244) I have been on your seat your choice and instead of having 42 rows the aircraft now has 43 (hoping it will be the myt series as we want the belly cams and stuff)
Thanks
Oh... and I loved your pics of cabin on you recent trip very detailed
