Thank you

It might be me being stupid, but if thomas cook fly to las vegas direct from manchester every wednesday why is there no flight info
on the Mccarron airport website or Manchester airport website. Is there somethingi dont know about!

andreaB,

There are selected dates where there are no flights and it's not uncommon for charter flights not to be listed on schedules at major airports. You'll be informed by the airline if there are any changes to your flights, don't worry

Darren

Thanks. but why is that?

andreaB
I have just had a look and Thomas Cook flights are listed on the Man Airport website.

andreaB,

Flights only operate from March - December, there aren't any flights at the moment. With the larger airports, it's not uncommon for charter flights to show on schedules as there are so many scheduled flights.

What happens if TC change airports? I am not expecting the company to crash, but in view of ther financial problems I think they could change their flights to some destinations. My nearest airport for Tunisia is Stansted which TC serves, but if they pull out of there and move flights to Gatwick would this be considered a major change, which would allow me to cancel? I know it is still a London Airport, but if I have to travel to Gatwick I prefer to fly with BA, who are not only quite a bit cheaper but have a decent luggage allowance included. I'm holding off from booking for a while as I don't want to get caught out. I would be grateful for any thoughts on this.

Aslemma,

Thomas Cook are fine, they won't go under and won't be changing airports. It's not that simple anyway. In order to use an airport, you need ground crews, agents, fuel, catering and cleaning contracts, runway slots etc in place, unless it's an emergency so you can't just change an airport. As for departure airports, no changes have been anounced and there are none on the grapevine either. If your departure point is changed, Stansted and Gatwick won't be considered a major change. Gatwick to Manchester would be, but the difference between Stansted and Gatwick isn't all that big. Don't worry though, it's unlikely to happen.

Part of the problem with all the negativity with Thomas Cook in the media is people are holding off booking with them. It's understandable, but is the last thing they need. If they don't get bookings, they will go under. They have the finance in place so things are fine at the moment. If I find the holiday I want for March, I'll be booking with them. You'll be fine. If it's the flight you want at the right price, go for it.

Good evening and Happy New Year to all

We are booked on a Thomas Cook flight TCX124 from Manchester to Las Vegas on 4th April, returning on 12th April TCX 125.

Looking at the seat plans on their website it shows that the rear most seats 43 A B H & J do not recline. We would like to book these seats as we had them on a TCX flight back fron Orlando last year and they did recline and despite being near the toilets and galley we both slept well.

Can Darren or someone else advise if they recline or not please. I believe we are on an A330.

Thanks

Thanks for your prompt reply Darren. Unfortunately it is as I thought, as though there is not much difference between Gatwick and Stansted from the airlines point of view, for me there is a big (and expensive) difference. I can get to Stansted on a free bus in just over an hour, whereas Gatwick involves either a mixture of taxi, train and underground or a door-to-door mini-bus at a cost of approx £60 return with a lot of hanging around. With the cost of BA from Gatwick, including 23kg hold luggage, being over £60 cheaper than TC, it works out roughly the same for me to fly from Stansted, but I resent having to pay TC prices from Gatwick (plus baggage). I'll hold off for a while I think.

Hi All,

I am flying MAN - CUN on 09/01/2012 TCX296. I understand it's an A330, but do we know which one it could be and where its coming in from on the flight before

Thanks

LBA73,

MAN-CUN-MAN (TCX296/7) are operated by an Airbus A330-200. It's too early to know which as they are rotated weekly. I'll know the day before. The flight prior is TCX138/9 (Goa).

Darren

Thanks Darren, I'll be in touch

Hi

I am flying from Glasgow to Mexico on July 16th with Thomas cook. Can you confirm if it will be a Thomas Cook plane or a Monarch plane? Are you also able to confirm what size of seat pitch it is likely to be and if we will have in flight entertainment on the back of the seats or if it will be shared communal tvs?

Thanks

mcassidy3,

Welcome onboard
Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft or flight information. This ensures we get the correct information for you. Are you on the GLA-CUN-GLA (TCX152/3)? Flights are operated by a Thomas Cook Airbus A330-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft and cabin photos, seat plans, seat pitches and IFE.

Darren

Thanks Dazbo, I was looking for the information as you posted haha. It is Thomas cook TCX152 and TCX153. Il have a look at that link thanks

Hi
Please can you tell me what type of aircraft is planned to do Manchester-Hurghada TCX2514 on 20th January.
Thanks

Sunaddict,

MAN-HRG-MAN (TCX2514/5) should be operated by Boeing 767-31K/ER (winglets). Odd flights have been operated by the smaller Boeing 757-200, but it's mainly the 76W.

Darren

Thanks Darren
