daz1971,

MAN-CUN-MAN (TCX297/9) are operated by an Airbus A330-200. Only the MYT aircraft remain in the fleet, the ex-TCX ones have all left the fleet. All the details are on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Select your seat details are here.

You can't book your seats till 12th March if flying after 16th April with TC, even if youv'e pre paid for them. I'm waiting to book mine as I fly on 23rd April to Vegas. :que

daz1971, you can book your seats months before, but you need to phone to do it and it costs £5 - can't remember if thats per person or per booking.
However, if you do phone then you need to ring as near to 9am as possible, otherwise it's near impossible to get through.

You cannot book your seats months before. TC Airlines changed their policy last April/May and made it 90 days prior. They are now changing their online system. At the moment any flights on or after 16 April cannot reserve seats before 12 March.

Well I booked mine 2 weeks ago for a Sept flight to Cancun. I phoned, she loaded the flight and I was able to book the seats. :que

Strange!! Thomas Cook Airlines did change their policy, and actually stated that if anyone tried to select seats online early, they would be charged again! The message about not being able to prebook seats until 12 March was loaded onto their website around New Year. I presume the cut off date in March is so there are no seat bookings in the system for flights after 16 April, and everyone has the same opportunity to book seats, whatever their new policy is going to be. Also so that there are no flights with any seats prebooked as I would imagine they would probably be lost in the changeover.

Well I will report back nearer the time and let you know what happens !

I've just looked at my documents and it was the 4th Jan that I booked them. I have the confirmation that I printed off in front of me!

I'd keep an eye on them too, because I know booking them that early is against the exisiting airline policy. I don't know what their doing with the system but I would have thought they stopped prebooking for a reason!

Lydia_girl,

Looking at your posting history, you've asked about your Monarch and Easyjet flights, but not Thomas Cook. MAN-TFS-MAN (TCX2384/5) are operated by Boeing 757-200.

caz k,

MAN-AYT-MAN (TCX2548/9) are showing as operated by an Airbus A321-200. The system I have won't show any changes though as the details are uploaded at the start of the winter season.
