Hi Daz
Asked befire and wondered if you can confirm now we are closer to time....
Going on TCX 244/5 4th and 18th May
On seating plan on line there are 7 rows at back... is it IFE seatbacks etc...
Can you have a guestimate at which plane of the TCX series it will be??
Thanks

A330-200. I can't give you a likely registration until the day before as aircraft are swapped and changed all the time.

fairypants,
Routing depends on weather, the jetstream position and other traffic on the day, but you're likely to fly the standard trans-oceanic routing. You'll depart MAN then head out over the Irish Sea, across Ireland then trans-oceanic across the Atlantic towards Newfoundland. At that point, subject to traffic, you'll either stay offshore and route down the eastern sea board or on odd occasions, transit down the east coast of America towards the Bahamas then soon after start the descent in to Cuba.
It's 4428 miles and you'll normally be slightly closer to the coast than this great circle map shows.

fairypants,
Sorry, I read that as what routing the aircraft would take! Too much time sorting flights out today I think
The flight before yours will be coming in from one of Holguin (Cuba) or Sanforf (Orlando).

Haha, no worries
I'll have to take plenty of pictures whilst I'm onboard. Off topic - Is it free to join airliners.net to upload pictures?
Cheers

For the purposes of uploading aviation photos, yes, but having photos accepted on to the database is not easy, they have exacting and very high standards almost down to pixel level. You might want to have a look at Jetphotos.net as the required quality standards arent as high to begin with. Airliners.net is notorious for their high standards and as such, it's where commercial aviation photos are often sourced. You may even have seen a few of mine in brochures and airports around the world!

dont think my 12mp camera will cut the mustard then! haha i'll just stick to facebook with them
You beat me to it David! I was just going to say, feel free to post them on here for the benefit of other members.

Hi,
Bit premature but I have been reading all sorts on this topic over the web. In short I am due to travel with Thomas Cook from LGW to Cancun in November 2011 flight number TCX248 returning on TCX249.
However I have heard Thomas Cook may be cancelling some Winter 2011 long haul routes. The source of my concern is that I cannot find any reference to this flight on the Thomas Cook website when I check and if I go down the line of trying to book another ticket on the website the only option for the date on the Thomas Cook website is a flight by Thompson!
Question is this due to the flight being fully booked or cancelled?
If I check the Itinerary there now seems to be no Tuesday flight ex Gatwick to Cancun for the whole of the winter 2011 Season?
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers

gavinmcconville,
The way I understand it, Thomas Cook are withdrawing some of their longhaul programme as 3 of their long haul aircraft (A330-200) are leaving the fleet at the end of the summer season. As a results, those flights are no longer being operated. Passengers effected are therefore travelling with other operators, mainly Thomson Airways. You'll have to speak to your tour operator for further details.

Hi there< does anybody know if TC issue comfort packs on their long-haul flights
diner-lady,
It depends what you mean by comfort packs. You get a pillow and blanket on the overnight (normally inbound) flight, but that's it.
