Thegambler,

You'll find seat plans for all Thomas Cook aircraft on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). The seat plan you're looking at is incorrect for Thomas Cook, you're looking at a generic seat plan rather than TCX's. TCX A332's are configured more densely than the standard scheduled configured aircraft. TCX's are 3-3-3, not 2-4-2. As Sunaddict corrected says, G/H are together on the starboard column of seats. The seat plan is A/B/C-D/E/F-G/H/J in economy, other than the rear few rows and the forwward cabin.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

Thanks for that. Thought it was strange but when you go into TC they don't want to help as I booked my holiday on the net through TC they just tell me to ring customer services.. Not even one on the holiday but wishing I had booked with Virgin due to bed customer service!

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

I'm flying from Stansted to Enfidha with TC on 13th April and the ticket says to check in 3 hours before for international flights. It has always been 2 hours, which should be more than adequate with on-line check in so is there any real need for this? It is a while since I flew with TC so can anyone remind me whether there is an option to choose my seat when I book in? I have no intention of paying to choose a seat at some earlier stage.

Last time I flew with TCX in April 2012, seating was pre-allocated, no choosing at checkin.
Choice only possible by paying for it prior to the date of flight.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

Thanks, I thought that was probably the case, I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for a window seat - not for the view but to stop my arm being knocked by fellow passengers or crew, as I have a metal plate in the elbow and one screw presses on the skin. :roll:

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

Hi All,
Just a quick one as I am a little bit confused!
We have booked to go to Tunisia on the 3rd April 2013 from Birmingham (txc4028) but there are 2 different departure times.
Our tickets say 5:25 am and then the websites say 6:25. I was just wondering if you have the correct times or an explanation?I think we are flying on a 757 if that makes any difference?

Thanks in advance

Jamie

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

It may be because they have forgotten about our clocks going forward before then, putting us on the same time as Tunisa. If so it won't be the first time they've got it wrong, as I had a similar situation with them some years ago, but then it was the return time they got wrong. According to their timings we would have taken 4 hours to get there but 2 hours to get back. :roll:

See what time they say you arrrive in Tunisia. The flight is just under 3 hours from London and presumably a bit more from Birmingham.

j_mie,

BHX-NBE-BHX (TCX4028/9) are indeed operated by Boeing 757-200. The departure time on the system is showing 05:25 at the moment.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

I've booked a hol with Thomas Cook to Cuba, I'm trying to choose my seat but the system won't let me. Do you have to wait a certain time before you can do it. Tried TC but not getting a reply. Thanks

For Cuba flights, seats can only be booked 90 days prior to your departure date.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

Hello... I'm flying from Manchester to Bodrum-Milas on 27 May 13. TCX2896. Aircraft outbound is 76W_326 (didn't take much notice of the return.) I believe its a 767 with 2-4-2 config. seat pitch 29", IFE is via over isle screens? Am I correct with this? Just want to manage my kid's (and wife's) expectations as they have had seat back IFE and a bit more seat pitch more recently as a result of travelling transatlantic.

Also at what point are you able to advise what flight the allocated aircraft is on beforehand its a 15:55 departure from MAN so presumably is airborne before this on the same day. Its useful to know so you can check arrivals before departing for the airport. Again its about managing expectations. Any help is appreciated.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

It's showing a 767 on TC website. They do have overhead screens for the IFE.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

carl m - we were told by TC that we could book our seats travelling to Lanzarote in August as soon as we had our confirmation. We chose ours a couple of weeks ago. Hope this helps.
