Those that check in online will be able to use the Thomas Cook Priority/Online Check In desk that will be labelled on the day, make sure you take the boarding cards but they will be reprinted by the agent at the airport so you dont have to worry about taking lots of bits of A4 paper around

Hi Dazbo,

Just a quick one - I tried to book YSYC online with Thomas Cook fro next May but its coming up with a error. When I rang TC they said because its so far in advanced I cannot book online until they load the next flights which would be January 2011? Do you know how true this is?
The reason I ask is that last year I booked the exact same flights and they had codes TCX174K and TCX174L but this year the flights are TCX174 and TCX175
Have they changed all the flight codes for next year? The seem to be doing away with the L and K on the codes.

Many Thanks in advance.

I think you will find YSYC is only available up to 90 days prior to your flight

BRS-ACE-BRS (TCX691K/L) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Candyboo,

Flight coding is changing, they're dropping the K/L format and going back to numbers. Yes, it's too far in advance for boking your seats as you were told.

Thank You.

The 90 day rules isnt true - as last year (and I have email confirmation) that I booked YSYC on the 18th July 2009 for May 2010 Holiday.

Thos Cook changed their YSYC policy from May this year when they introduced the 98 days prior for seat selection.

If the flight numbers were staying the same you would be able to access the YSYC website however because they are changing to TCX123 TCX124 example for long haul, Egypt and Turkey with three numbers and TCX2014 and TCX2015 example for short haul the website doesnt support the new format yet but will do very shortly.

Updated New Flight Numbers from April 2011 due to changing flight planning software + upgrade of YSYC

TCXxxx - Longhaul flights + flights to Turkey and Egypt + Any other countries that dont like 4 numbers
TCX10xx - Flights from Gatwick
TCX20xx - Flights from Manchester
TCX30xx - Scottish Flights
TCX40xx - Flights from Birmingham
TCX50xx - Flights from East Midlands
TCX60xx - Flights from Newcastle/Teeside
TCX70xx - Flights from Stansted

I've just read on another thread that the air traffic controllers in Greece are working to rule. This may cause flights to be delayed or cancelled. We are supposed to contact the airline for further information. Does anyone have a telephone no. for this please?

All phone lines are closed at Thomas Cook until tommorow, the only other case would be if Thomas Cook updated their website with an emergency number which is unlikely to happen, the usual rule is to travel to the airport as usual unless stated on the http://www.thomascook.com website.

Thanks for that. We don't fly until a week tomorrow, so hopefully things might have settled down by then. We travel to Manchester the day before & stay overnight, so I won't have access to the internet. I'll watch & keep my fingers crossed.

If you have access to a Mobile Phone it usually costs about 99p per day to access the internet, maybe you could visit the site that way if you are concerned on the day.

Hi all,

Newbie here. Just got a few questions.

Flying from Gatwick in early september to Cancun on TCX87K on the outbound flight and TCX87L on the return. I'm flying premium economy and I was wondering if anyone new what movies they are showing and if it's just showing on a loop or on demand.

Looking at few posts i'm not certain if the screens are on the back of seats, can anyone clarify?

Would also appreciate any extra bits of info, have only travelled a couple of times and first time with TC so not really sure what to expect.

Thanks

Jimmy

Movies and TV will be released at the end of August for September onwards, with regards to seat back tv's and legroom if you have not received a letter from Thomas Cook then you will still get the advertised service.
