MAN-DLM-MAN (TCX2824/5) are currently showing as a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Booked to go Newcastle to Sharm el Sheikh on 11th March 2012.
My original documentation from Thomas Cook says flight is TCX6536 departing 9am. However looking at Thomas Cook website today, and doing a test booking, it suggests flight TCX6648, with exactly the same departure time.
Are there two Thomas Cook planes departing at the same time? Sounds unlikely.
So are they messing with flight numbers changing them?
I've got no tickets yet so I don't know what it really should be

And - is it still going to be a 757 does anyone know please?

I'm particularly interested because I've prebooked and paid for specific seats on TCX 6536 - I don't want to lose them

ukbill,

I can't check on your flight numbers at the moment as I'm mobile, but your flights are operated by Boeing 757-200. Its not uncommon for flight numbers to change from the time of booking. There's only one flight, not two.

EDIT: Your flight numbers are showing as TCX6648/9

Thanks for the prompt response Darren.
Hope I don't lose the pre-booked seats, done on-line about a month ago, I printed it out, but I don't trust computers....

The aircraft (G-OMYT) is inbound from Barbados (TCX372/3). It's due back in MAN at 0530 in the morning and is on-time at the moment. Anything could happen with snow predicted over the next 24 hours though.

Welcome onboard :tup
Your flight numbers are on your booking confirmation and tickets when you get them. Assuming you're on the MAN-SSH-MAN (TCX2624/5), your flights are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi Darren

We are 4 adults flying on TCX324 Man / Cancun 5th May, returning 14th May on TCX153.
Can you advise what plane we are travelling on, will it have IFE, if so is it on demand, which are the best seats to reserve (we can do this online from March 12th) and with there being 4 of us, do we need to sit behind one another to save one of us from being split from the group? Apologies for the many questions, but we haven't flown long haul with TCX before, always Thomson.

Many thanks

MAN-CUN-MAN (TCX324/5) are operated by Airbus A330-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) that will answer most of your questions with links to aircraft and cabin photos and a seat plan. IFE is looped, not on demand (AVOD). Seating is personal preference. There are no 'best' seats. All offer the same basic facilities so it's whatever you prefer, eg window, isle, front, back etc. Seating is configured 3-3-3 for the most part. If you're travelling as 2 couples, you might want to look at the rear 5 rows that are 2-3-2 and look at the pairs of seats. That way, each couple can sit one behind the other. Alternatively, it'll be 3-1 or 2-2 on a row of 3 seats. It's whatever you want really. The long haul experience with TCX isn't that much different from when you've travelled with TOM. It's just a larger aircraft with slightly different seating confoguration.

Wow Darren, thanks for your quick response.
Thanks for the info. I think we will attempt to secure seats in the rear so we can sit behind one another unless we try to be crafty and book middle and aisle seats in the hope TCX don't fill the window seats ;)
Will this plane be one with the toilets downstairs?

Thanks

Cadge16,

Yes, it'll be one with the downstairs toilets as the ones with main deck toilets have now left the fleet. Aircraft are normally full so I wouldn't bet against seats not being filled.

Thanks Darren

This will be a new experience for us, never had to go downstairs to the toilets :)
Think we will book the 2's if they're available. I was a little concerned that passengers would congregate at the back of the plane waiting to use the loos, but this doesn't seem to be the case now.

Thanks

Hi :)
We are flying manchester to dalaman on the 7th of June with thomas cook - TCX2868 and back to MAN on 21st of June - TCX2869

Please could you advise what aircraft this will be and what the seating plan is? We've paid extra to pre book our seats so are wishing the days away until we can get them booked :rofl

Many Thanks

That's great :)
Guess we must have got lucky in 2009 when we had a plane with a seat plan of 2-4-2 (think it was a 767-300) lol

Thanks a lot for your help x
