Hi Darren
We are travelling from Glasgow to Tenerife on Friday 13 July, returning Friday 27 July. Flight numbers are tcx3212 and tcx3213 and invoice says Thomas Cook Airlines B752. I am assuming this means a B757-200? I have had a look at your aircraft details page, but it isn't clear where the windows are! As we are travelling on day flights both ways for a change, we would like to choose seats with a window. We can't actually select seats until 90 days before travel, but wondered if you could let me know the rows which definitely don't have windows? Our preference would be the front section of the plane if possible, but will depend how quickly these seats get booked by others, so would be helpful to know middle section as well - def don't want the back of the plane, bad experience there last year!
Thanks in anticipation :wave:

theyoungcrew,

That's correct; B752 = Boeing 757-200. The windows are on the majority of the rows with seats A and F being next to them. As long as you avoid the rear of the forward cabin, approximately rows 13-16 and 30 in the centre cabin and row 40, you'll be fine.

Hiya,

We have booked a holiday to Turkey, could you please tell me which aircraft as it looks like two different ones.
Manc-Bodrum 14th May dep 13.40 (B752)TCX 2896
Bodrum-Manc 25th May dep 22.55 (A321)TCX 2719

Travel agent told me I could pick seats straight away but when I try it says you cannot until 12th March, is this correct?

Are Thomas Cook like Thomsons now with no in-flight entertainment?

Is there any seats to avoid, we like to sit forward of the engines and don't want to pick a windowless seat any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Anne

paradiselover,

Aircraft types are as stated in your post; Boeing 757-200 / Airbus A321-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seating is personal preference. There are no 'best' seats. All I would say is avoid seats adjacent to toilets as you get people queing in the isle. Thomas Cook withdrew IFE a while ago on short haul flights. All but the rear row in the forward cabins have windows.

Thanks for that Darren,

Does that mean the on board camera's and maps don't work either? Do you think they will bring back the in flight entertainment at any point, I hope so it makes the flight better, I'm sure its better for the staff as well to have passengers entertained.

Cheers,
Anne

There are no onoard cameras on these aircraft (only the 767 / A330) but maps may be shown if available on the aircraft on the day. Due to costs and competition with low cost airlines, I highly doubt mainscreen IFE will be brought back on short / medium haul flights. PSP's are available for hire at £7.50 per flight.

olivaaar,

Please quote your flight number(s) when requesting aircraft information. There are often several flights. This ensures we get the correct information for you. Assuming it's EMA-AYT-EMA (TCX5516/7), they're operated by Airbus A320-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

GARETH28,

Welcome onboard :tup
I won't be able to confirm them until May, but your outbound flight (MON3726) is operated by Monarch Airlines and normally an Airbus A300B4-605R. Your inbound flight (TCX2625) is operated by Thomas Cook Airlines and is normlly operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

thanks for that Dazbo, one site I looked on said that the monarch flight was operated by thomas cook , is this because it is a charter flight?

GARETH28,

Each airline has it's own 2 and 3 letter prefixes. Any flight with the prefix MON is operated by Monarch airlines. It's their code and only Monarch can operate flights with it. Monarch are MON / ZB (charter / scheduled respectively), Thomas Cook are TCX / MT.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does the airline allow double buggies as your allowance or do i have to take a single pram each?

Sparkles81,

Buggies are permitted and don't count as part of your luggage allowance or hand luggage. It'll be taken from you at the boarding gate.
