Mdollar,

Some flights are uploaded on to the system before the date they are due to be released so it's always worth checking beforehand.

tush,

Gambia is a short (medium) haul destination, not a long haul so there won't be any premium seating regardless of aircraft. Flights to Banjul are normally the Boeing 757-200 that are all economy. Extra legrrom seating is detailed on Thomas Cooks website. Short haul are under 3 hours, medium haul 3-7 hours and long haul over 7 hours.

rapunzel,

Seat widths are the same. The only ones that are slightly narrower are the ones at the from where the tray tables fold out of the arm rest. You can ask if there is a spare meal, but don't bank on their being one.

Hi all,

Mystery flight TCX1152

We're flying Gatwick to Zante on 1st September, booked via Thomas Cook online. I'm keen to know which aircraft type we'll be flying on but cannot seem to see any trace of the flight anywhere or at thomascook.com! :que

If I do a search for a new holiday it appears but not flight only, which was what we booked. Also there seems to be another TCX flight LGW to Zante leaving just half an hour before ours, which seemed a bit odd!

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

J

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-ZTH-LGW (TCX1152/3) is showing as a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Availability will often dissapear from the website once things are fully booked.

Thanks Darren for the amazingly speedy response! :tup

Would you also know about our return, which is TCX1239? Would that be the same?

Still a bit baffled about the flight/times as there's no sign on the Gatwick website timetables or TC flight only site, but does come up if looking at a package hol?!!

Thanks again.

JimboJets,

The return flight should be the same. Gatwicks timetable will have been put together months ago so won't reflect any canges since it was originally published. The selling of aircraft seats is complicated. There are only so many flight only, packages holiday, external agents seats available. Once the respective allocation is filled, it's removed from sale so you can have a situation where there are flights only seats available, but not package holiday seats. Yours are booked so nothing to worry about.

It won't be an issue as long as wi-fi is disabled. You won't be able to use it during take off and landing.

Welcome onboard :tup
MAN-SFB-MAN (TCX414/5) are operated by an Airbus A330-300. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seating is personal preference. Screens are approximately every 4 rows so all seats have a view of a screen.
