Hi Darren,

I am scratching my chin over the seat plan on Thomas Cook Airlines website. regarding the choose your seat. I have logged into my booking to choose my seat for the flight to Orlando from Glasgow on 6th October (TCX414)...The airline was recently changed to a A330-300 the TC Scandanavia one I believe. However the seat plan for 'chose your seat' still shows the original plane???? ...so the seat layout is totally different from what I will be flying on. When will they update the site for the correct seating plan????

Cheers,
Mark

would i be able to put in a medical request for the bulk head medical seats on a thomas cook flights?

i have severe asthma and need to get medication quickly at times, i have a fit to fly from the dr so im able to fly... i also have knee damage which results in me not being able to sit in a knee bent position for long periods so need to be able to sit with legs out to a point...

how do i go about asking?

In which case I would recommend against a bulkhead seat, you have less
Room than a normal seat as there is no where for you feet to go and actually makes your legs stay bent for the duration of the flight. I suffer from asthma, all the medication needed can be kept in your pocket and seat area (standard seat)without impeding legroom.

Welcome onboard :tup
If the seat plan is showing an A330-200, then that's what you'll be on. The A330-300 is normally from Manchester and Gatwick. There are two TCX Scandinavia aircraft leased for the summer; A332 (OY-VKF) and an A333 (OY-VKI). You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Just checking on my flight etc

Was looking at Manchester departures and there was no Thomas Cook ( TCX126 ) flight this morning (Saturday) yet there is an arrival in the morning (Sunday) saying 7-15am ( I thought it was a 05-00am return)

I was under the impression these flights were every 2 weeks?

We are flying on the 6th August so by my working out there should have been a flight today

Am i losing the plot lol

littlebw,

When did you check? Departures are often taken off the boards about an hour after departure.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for getting back to me. I really do wish it will be the A330-200 cause thats what we booked with the 'pretend' premium on the way back (and the seat back tele's)...but we got an erratta letter the other week to say the flight had been changed to A333 with no seat back tv and 29 inch seat pitch, and obviously no 'pretend' premium service on the way back (regarding TCX414 gla 9th Oct)....So I am hoping to get in to the 'choose your seat' quickly and get few of those 32 inch seats at the front of A333...but alas its still showing the original A330-200.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi all

We are going to Sanford on 29th July on TCX 472 MAN - SFB returning on 12th August on TCX 473. I know its a bit early to identify the exact plane we will be on but can Darren let me know what type of plane we will be on and where it comes from before our flight please.
Last time over the pond we came back on the 767 rescue plane and it was a bit tight on seat space.

Thanks

Evening all, im just wondering if anyone can give me info on Thomas cook flight TCX3122 (GLA)

what im wanting to know is, this is the flight im going away on in 5 weeks time, but ive been checking every week for the last 3 weeks to see if it gets away on time but not once has it left on time, the earliest it has taken off is 2h 45m's after the scheduled time.

Can anyone tell me why this is?

Thanks in advance

I wonder why they tell you you can't choose your seat online until a certain date, in my case 15th July for a flight in October, but I've just checked today on the off chance and it's let me book them. Luckily I got the seats I wanted as everyone is probably waiting until the 15th. Good job for me, but why give you a certain date and then open it 4 days early?

What date in October are you flying? We're going on the 12th October from Manchester on TCX044 which I believe is an A330-200.

Hi Darren,

I am somewhat confused about our flight to Gambia we are booked on flight TCX2108 from Manchester on the 28th Nov this year, I have read your new information but being a thicky I am still a bit confused.
Im not overlay sure wether or not Gambia is classed as long haul, if it is then the aircraft A300-200 will be changed by the time we are going to being all economy and what was premier will be extra legroom only!
Pressuimg Ive got it right so far when or can I book extra legroom seats in advance and how much are they charging for the privalage?
I am over 6ft tall and 14st I have read your trip report to Dalaman just reading it gives me claustrophobia.
Whilst writing can you please tell me what are the durations of short, medium and long haul flights

Please can you enlighten me.

Thanks Tush

Hi Tush
You can only book extra legroom 90 days prior. The A330-200's have only had the ex premium seats as extra legroom since May this year. I'm pretty sure Gambia is classed as mid haul, not long haul though.

Hi Darren,
You gave me some good advice a few months ago, i just have one final question. we are flying to sanford from gatwick on 20 august and are on the thomas cook scandinavia a330-300 plane. i have reserved 3 seats in the middle in row 4 as i know they have a little extra leg room. however, i noticed that the configuration is 3-3-3 compared to 2-4-2 for the rest of the plane. does this mean that the seats are narrower?
Also, we are travelling with a 23 month old who is classed as an infant. i have tried to book him a meal but was told i can't. do you know if i ask nicely on the plane they will give him a meal if they have any leftover. if so, is this likely. will bring food but would be handy if he can eat on the plane.
thanks
