Hello

We are flying out on Flight TCX1852 from LGW to ATY on Saturday 22 June 2013, could anybody tell me where the aircraft comes in from before this flight. Can anyone also confirm if the scheduled departure time is 1750.

Thank you

DJT87,

The departure time of TCX1852 is showing as 1750, but refer to your booking confirmation / tickets for times. As we're still in the winter season, I don't have the summer schedule to hand. If you remind me at the beginning of June, I'll check where the aircraft comes in from for you.

Thank you. I will ask in again in June.

The tickets say 1735 but 'Manage My Booking' on the Internet says 1750 so I wondered which time was correct and now I know!

Thank you one again. :tup

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-CFU-LGW (presuming TCX1242/3?) are operated by Airbus A320-200 / Boeing 757-200 respectively. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

I returned from Enfidha on Saturday - flight TCX 7117. Flight was listed as 22.10 from NBE. On phoning transfer company to confirm pick-up time I was told flight was now 22.50. As I didn't know whether to believe them a friend, fluent in French, rang TC and was told the flight was 21.10. Rang transfer company again and re-confirmed pick-up time. Transfer did not arrive as planned so another friend, fluent in French and Arabic rang Enfidha airport and confirmed flight was actually at 22.10 (as originally stated). All OK in the end, and flight actually got into Stansted at 24.30 rather than 01.20 as listed but I have certainly got a few more grey hairs and was lucky to have local friends. :que

Hi, I've just done my API on Thomas Cook and saw the priority baggage reclaim option, has anyone used this and did you really get your baggage first? Thanks

carl m,

Theoretically, your baggage comes of the aircraft first but I've seen many times that this doesn't always happen. It's not something I'd normally bother with as it's not really a time saver once you get to your destination if you then have to wait for others on a transfer coach. If you have private transfers or it's when you return home, it's worth looking at but bear in mind, priority luggage doesn't always come off first in my experience.

Thanks for the reply Daz. I only considered it because we have a taxi transfer. After my luggage not turning up at the destination airport at the same time as me twice in the last 4 holidays I'd happily pay a fiver if they could guarantee that.

carl m,

You need your luggage on the aircraft in the first place for it to come off first though! Standing by baggage reclaim and being the only one left with no sign of a bag is not a nice feeling. Been there, done that. That was with TCX too! If you have a private transfer, you might think it's worth a £5 to save yourself 5 or 10 minutes.

Thomas Cook will be offering connecting domestic UK flights on Flybe to connect initially to its Orlando, Las Vegas, Barbados and Antigua flights from Manchester and Gatwick.

This will allow local departures from 12 UK airports including Inverness Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Belfast, Isle of Man, Newquay, Exeter, Southampton, Guernsey, Jersey and Southampton.

Some of these are already available to book via Condors website.

Smart move I think.

Hello,

We are due to fly on TCX2124 (MAN-PMI) on 27/07/2013. On our booking confirmation it states that the outbound flight is at 0625 but on the Thomas Cook website the only flight showing up from MAN-PMI is at 0640 with the same flight number. Has our flight time changed or are there two flights? Also do you know the aircraft type? I'm guessing an A330 or B763 due to the longer than usual turnaround time in PMI?

Thanks

easyjet a320,

welcome onboard :tup
MAN-PMI-MAN (TCX2124/5) are operated by B763. It would appear the flight time has changed slightly since you booked. No two flights operate with the same flight number at the same time. The departure time is showing as 0640.

Woodward,

Please quote flight numbers and dates when requesting aircraft information. This ensures we get the correct infmoration for you as there are often several flights. Boeing 767-300/ER's are regularly used to Izmir, but I'll need your flight details to check what is scheduled for your specific flight.

Hi,
Just wondering when and how I can check my flight times for any delays or info.
Is it possible to find out if our flight is first for that day.

fn: TCX2518 from Manchester t1 to hurghada. 21/5/2013

Don't suppose anyone knows where the bank kiosks are, as it's now a new terminal, and would rather avoid the "other" kiosks. But I cannot find any info at all about the new terminal.

Many thanks,
Neil.

MAN-HRG-MAN (TCX2518/9) are operated by Boeing 767-300/ER. This is the first flight out for that aircraft at 0930. It normally arrives in Manchester late on Monday evening or early Tuesday morning. What do you mean by bank kiosk? Bureau de Change ? Thomas Cook have one just after security as you go down in to the departure lounge, on your left at the bottom of the stairs. Or do you mean once you arrive in HRG?

I didn't think the new terminal had opened yet, so as far as I know the bank kiosks are still on the left as you enter arrivals.

Hi, thank you for welcome.
Sorry, I mean the kiosks to get the visas. I've been advised to avoid the rep kiosks and get them from the bank, as they are £4ish cheap per person. but the terminal has been changed so don't know where they are now.
Many thanks.
