Hi Darren
Further to andyjardo's enquiry about psp's. A TC staff member has just posted on their forum, that the airline has confirmed they are still available for hire on short haul!!
Struggling to work out who to believe at TC these days.
On the PSP being removed from the flights it seems this was done about the time Sony Playstations were hacked?????? But next they will be charing a surtax if you are using your own entertaintment system??????.
Hey. I was wondering if you could tell me what aircraft Thomas Cook usually send to Sharm El Sheikh from London Gatwick both in the winter season and ummer season?
I would usually fly with Thomson but im bored of 757s
Thanks

jackd166,
There are several flights so I'd need a flight number to comment on specific ones. It's normally Boeing 757-200, odd ones the 767-300/ER. You might be bored with the 752, but they're excellent airframes.

Hi have Thomas cook re configured their 757- 200. booked exit seats 11 D and E Newcastle to dalaman 23/09/11 the plane was the standard configuration back in march, have just had a look again and the plane configuration has now changed 233 seats 41 rows, toilets 1 front, 1 where exit seats 11 B and C was and 2 in the rear. Same seating chart for the return on the 7/10.11
lostsoul,
TCX haven't reconfigured their own 752's, no. However, some flights are being operated by Astraeus on subcharter. Are you on the TCX6566/7? If so, the difference is due to the change of aircraft.

It wouldn't matter anyway because they are running a custom firmware and software and are not internet or PSN connected.
Hi all,
My bad, PSPs will be removed at end of May or end of June...(I hadnt done shorthaul in a while and didnt know they had extended it)

shaper546,
Welcome onboard
Details of the 'premium' cabin and how the seating is allocated is given here and the following page. In essence, you can't pre-book them for tax reasons and can upgrade to them once onboard. IFE remains the same, but obviously there aren't the extra premium movies now.

thanks for that seems a weird way but we have booked row 9 3 middle seats so we shouldnt be too bad i hope,
looks like this is really causing some headache for everybody, will get worse next year as i see they are reducing long haul and i always go long haul. planning domrep next year but might have to check out other operators

shaper546,
3 long haul aircraft (G-OJMB/C and G-TCXA) are leaving the fleet at the end of the summer season, part of the cutting back on long haul routes. Like you, I can't remember when my last short haul trip was, 2007 or 2008 I think. TCX long haul isn't too bad in economy and personally, I didn't think the upgrade was value for money for slightly wider seats and 2" extra seat pitch, especially with the tax increases. One of the reasons there's no more premium. Thomson Airways are certainly worth a look for the destinations you're looking at. As much as I like the A330-200 as an aircraft, the cabins on TOM's 767-300/ER's are better in my opinion.

You'll be waiting a while yet before they'll be entering service, about 13 or so months before the first is due but it won't be in long haul service until November 2012. The 747 is a beast!

Darren,
Sorry to be a pain
When looking for my plane on the MAN - LPA - MAN TCX 2216/7 you said you beleived it would be a 757 however when booking seats it showed a 2-4-2 layout.
Can you confirm whether your system (or whatever you check) still reads 757?
Cheers
Pete

peterb1203,
Still showing as a 752 here but things do change and TCX's seat booking system won't be wrong! 2-4-2 is a Boeing 767-31K/ER (winglsts).

emmacat,
You can pre-book extra legroom seating now, subject to availability. You'll need to speak to your travel agent or Thomas Cook Airlines.
