Hi

Is there any chance Thomas Cook will be reintroducing IFE on the Tenerife Flights? We are travelling on 13 July on TCX3212 and returning on 27 July on TCX3213. It would be great if there was something to watch, it's such a long and boring flight otherwise - not even much land to see outside, mostly over the sea!

Thanks :wave:

Smurf1873,

I assume that's a cruise charter? They're operated by Airbus A330-200 normally. You'll find answers to your questions on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

SmartLynx are flying mainly out of Newcastle using an A320, crewed by Thomas Cook. The flights have only just started so haven't heard anything about them yet, and nothing about the interiors. If you're flying on a 752 it won't be with SmartLynx.

All airlines sub-charter, it's standard practice when additional capacity is needed. Both Thomson Airways and Thomas Cook lease some of their fleet out during the quieter winter season, mainly to Canadian carriers and conversely sub-charter in the summer when additional capacity is needed. They generally charter airlines that offer the same facilities as their own airline and operate under the same standards. Apart from the livery and name on the aircraft, and accents of the staff, there'll be little difference so there's nothing to worry about generally. Your flights aren't effected.

Hi,

Does anybody know if this Summer's flight from Manchester to Almeria (Thursday morning departure) is an A320 airbus, (as used last summer).

Any help would be appreciated, flew this route last year and found this aircraft type better than the 757's / 767's that I've travelled on in the past with them !!

markdoc,

Welcome onboard :tup
Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information as there are often several flights. This ensure we get the correct information for you. Dates are also useful as it sometimes varies over the course of the season due to variations in demand, eg school hols. I'll assume it's the MAN-LEI-MAN (TCX2476/7) in August. Flights are operated by Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Please quote all your flight details when requesting aircraft information. This ensure we get the correct information for you. TCX fly to several airports in Turkey and aircraft are sometimes changed depending on the date, for example during school holidays. MAN-DLM-MAN (TCX2822/2869) are operated by Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft and cabin photos as well as seat maps. This aircraft type doesn't have seat back screens, they are overhead. They don't have inflight entertainment shown although they do have external flight cameras fitted so you can watch the aircraft take-off and land from the belly mounted camera.
