dazbo,

you said the last 5 rows on the a330 are 2-3-2, i have just been on 2 book my seats on tc website and there were 7 rows at the back like this. does that mean im not on the a330.
im going to punta cana on the 11/08/11 from manchester.

holnade,

That's correct for the A330-200 that should be used on your flights. A few flights are being swapped and changed at the moment though and it's possible your flight may be one of them to the larger Airbus A330-300. It is still showing as operated by the usual long haul -200 on my screen though. More details on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

looking at the what Aircraft? guide the seat plan on tc fits more to the description of the short haul a330-200. just annoyed that it only has 29" seat pitch not the 33"

the tour operator has a tendancy to put the wrong seat maps in the ticket booklets and on line for the a330-200s. so the one with 45/309 seems to be placed against most long haul flights when it isn't the case.

You are planned to be on one with 49/276 seats (ex MYT plane)

A330-200. If it's the registration you're looking for, ask again the day before. It's mainly ex-MYT at MAN at the moment.

Hi,

I'm flying to Enfidha from Glasgow on 29 May for 2 weeks. The flight numbers are TCX3216 out and TCX3217 back. Going out it shows we leave Glasgow at 14:15 arriving Enfidha 17:45, and coming back leave Enfidha at 19:00 but don't arrive back in Glasgow until 22:40. Can anyone explain why the flight back is so much longer?
Also do you know what aircraft it will be, or is it still too early yet?

Thanks

Lee

The return journey is longer due to the prevailing wind direction. Outbound, you'll generally have winds helping you along but on the return, you'll be headng in to the wind so it slows you down. Your flights should be operated by a Boeing 757-200.

mickyf,

Please supply flight numbers when requesting aircraft information as there are often several flights. This ensures we get the correct flight information for you. EMA-SSH-EMA (assuming TCX5512/3?) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. Aircraft are rotated almost weekly so it's imposible to give a registration for the flight this far in advance. It makes no difference anyway, they're all the same inside.

Welcome onboard :tup
MAN-SFB-MAN (TCX472/3) are operated by an Airbus A330-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). This type has seat back IFE throughout.

MAN-DLM-MAN (TCX2822/3) are showing as operated by a Boeing 757-200 at the moment (no IFE). However, the Friday flight is often operated by the larger Boeing 767-31K/ER (winglets) with IFE. I'll know more in May.
