Darren,
Any ideas why OY-VKI did MAN-MBJ yesterday? I'm on that route in a couple of weeks and have had no indication an A333 may be doing it, seat plans still shows OY-VKF I believe. It was late so I'm guessing mechanical? VKI replaced scheduled aircraft on arrival from YYC?
Ta much

Hi Darren
Just read elsewhere that TC are removing IFE and reducing seat pitch to 29" on all longhaul flights from this winter. Any truth, do you know?

sunaddict,
That's correct, effective November 2011 from what I've been told. Three long haul A330-200's are leaving the fleet (G-OJMB, G-OJMC, G-TCXA) and the remaining aircraft (G-MLJL, G-OMYT, G-MDBD) will revert back to their high density, all economy configuration with 29" seat pitch with Recaro seats. Seat back IFE will be replaced by mainscreen monitors above the isles. I haven't updated the What Aircraft? guide as yet with the details as it doesn't come in to effect until the end of the summer season, but I will once I have confirmation.

Thanks Darren. Is that going to cause problems, as they are advertising 33" and seatback IFE for winter onwards. Aren't they selling something they know they cannot supply? Could be interesting.
Sunaddict,
I don't know about it causing problems, but it's in their term and conditions that aircraft specification can change at any time so they're covered for existing bookings although it's probably a little naughty if they are still showing that for future bookings when it's likely to be changing.

That's really sad news!
If true, then my next holiday will be the last TCX long haul flight I'm doing!
Sounds like good news for Thomson and Virgin though!
Thanks Darren.

Not long until the last long haul flight anyone will be doing with TCX.

Any definate dates yet?

It's a strange situation isn't it?
Few years back we had four main charter holiday companies, each with their own airline and all doing long haul.
Then 4 became 2 with the mergers, so this would leave Thomson as the only UK charter airline doing long haul. I don't count Virgin as charter and Monarch have already announced their plans to be a low cost scheduled airline (do they still do Caribbean anyway?).
Won't this lack of competition be bad for us, the holidaymakers, Thomson could increase their prices even more! The 2012 prices already seem double what we've been paying over recent years! Moan over! Looking forward to 33" outbound and 34-35" inbound three weeks today with seat back tellies

It will be bad and I think we already see the effect in the Maldives for example. Prices have increased 100% in 3 years with Thomson party due to fuel etc but Thomas cook stopped going
I think the only two routes are going to be SFB

thanks darren your a star, you've really made my day 
Hi all, it's come to that time of year again, to book seats!! Yayy!! Can anybody tell me what type of aircraft flight TCX4014 B'ham to Palma 20th August will be please. Last year booked seats but didn't have a window - hubby was not too pleased. Don't want to make the same mistake this year. On invoice it says Thomas Cook Airlines B752 - would that be a boing 752, if so it's the same plane as last year. Any info would be much appreciated as always 
752= Boeing 757-200 series.
Hi
Got a friend flying MAN-AYT 2 July TCX2538. Can you tell me what aircraft type is operating this flight.
Thanks
