I take a record/messenger type bag... easily big enough for tickets/mp3/book/money and they usually have a couple of zip up pockets for the tickets/money etc. Well within size too.

Similar sort of thing to these which are at Argos for example..

Tweetie I wouldn't worry about your hand luggage! the check in staff check are bothered about the weight of your hold luggage but didn't even look at let alone weigh our hand luggage outbound or inbound. Not like the Ryanair passengers we saw who were being made to put their bags in a very small looking trolley thing to check they were the right size!

You'll be fine with the hand luggage bag you have got. We took 2 normal size rucksacks but saw people with bigger bags than ours and no-one got asked to weigh or measure them.

I think it must depend on the check in staff and maybe the airport. The last time we flew Thos Cook we didn't have to put it in the guage, although it was at the gate. However the check in staff did weigh it and I think they might have said something if it was obviously too big. They give dimensions so that the bags can be put in the overhead bins utilising the space efficiently. If everyone's was too big there would be a problem with getting all the hand luggage in. If it's a squashy bag it's not too bad.

hi....thanks for replies. ...was sat having a mini panick after I posted....hoped someone would have a little gem of info...and Id go buy a new bag ....had to go into work last night....and as was stuffing stuff in the bag I use for work the clouds parted and the sun came out .....it suddenlt dawned on me that he had used the bad Ive been using for work for thomascook last year....my old work bag had fell to bits and Id started using that bag instead not long afterwards....its a small mans holdall and is 36 x 25 x 23...a bit smaller than the regulation one but ideal to get all he needs and wants in....so panic over...turfed all the junk out of it I take to work and his stuff is sorted into it now....

natalie....where do they weigh your hand luggage...at the main check in desk with your hold luggage or at the gate before you board the plane....cant remember what happened last year....tweetie

by the time the lads get to the gates they would be lighter ....they will have munched some

Hi, I'm flying to Sanford from Manchester on the 6th of August (TCX092K/L). When I booked was told it was 33" pitch and seat back entertainment. When my seats the layout was 3x3x3 so thought that all was good and booked 2 row of 3 . Went on to TC website today and I hadn't book the meals and the layout has changes to 3x3x3 and 2x4x2! and our seats have change to roughly the same area but now 3 rows of 2. Phone TC and they say that the plane has not changed! and is a A330-300 398y and that all the seat have 29" pitch and no seat back entertainment.

So can anyone please confirm that this aircraft will be 29" pitch throughout as the guide on this site says that the forward cabin has 32" pitch as if they are I will try and change my booking.

They have also reduced the select you seat to £10 per flight from £16 when I booked . so 6x6x2 = £72 less then I Paid not happy.

Also can one use a netbook on these flights. The last time I flew TC they said not laptops, phones in flight mode, games consoles could be used.

Any help would be most appreciated.

rgn999,

Welcome onboard
You'll find detailed aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Your flights have unfornately been changed to an A333 (OY-VKI). You'll find details under the short haul section on the What Aircraft? guide for TCX. You can use a laptop, but you need to make sure any wireless devices are disabled and CD/DVD drives can only be used in the cruise. Games consoles have always been permitted, apart from at take off and landing.

Darren

Thanks for the reply Dazbo.

I've had a look at the guide, but can't see A333 (OY-VKI) listed! Can you tell me the seat pitch please?

I thought laptops were ok if wan is disabled.

Thanks Again

Sorry,

This I've worked it out. Is it the A330-300 ? If so can you confirm that it's 32" pitch in the front 11 rows please. Thomas Cook thinks it 29" throughout!

rgn999,

Refer to MikeBravo's post for seat pitch confirmation.

Darren

Hi Darren,

Could you possibly tell me the seat lay out ie: 3 - 3 or 4 -2- 4 on our aircraft going to Palma please.

Flight no's TCX 832K outbound LGW - PMI 26/7/10
TCX 233L inbound PMI - LGW 31/7/10

We haven't flown with these before so I am curious.

Also, we have to pick up our tickets at Gatwick, again haven't had to do this before as always booked in advance. I assume their office is easy to find at 3 am in the morning!!!

Thank you so much for your help.

Deb.
