I thought TCX were using MCO now? I've noticed a few flights still to SFB lately, have they changed their minds?

Flying Cancun to Manchester next October, just had flight change. TC are saying its it's a A330 but when I've went to choose my seats the configuration is 2-4-2 all the way down the plane. It's TC325, any information on this flight, IFE, seat pitch etc.

Thanks,

Jim

jim98,

Details are on our What Aircraft? Guide (link below). It's the ex-Bmi A330-200.

Oh dear, I can't believe they're still flying that load of junk all the way from Mexico. Long-haul flights with no seat back screen and 31" pitch. Just as we'll it's a night flight, but it'll still be a nightmare.

I was under the impression that the ex BMI A330 had seat-back screens. If you google it there appear to be responses from Thomas Cook indicating that to be the case. Maybe we won't be certain until the plane actually enters service.

The ex BMI will have seatback IFE.

There's a cabin photo here. The economy cabin is the only one applicable.

Darren,

So at least I get it straight from the horse's mouth; you've actually flown on it. I can see it's got setback IFE so I'm ok with that. Strangely enough I contacted Thomas Cook through their web chat service and the 'advisor' said he had no knowledge of TC having this aircraft, I know it's not in service but I thought they'd have some basic information.
Thanks again.

Thomas Cook confirmed a while ago, the seats they had chosen would have IFE fitted. I think the seats it had when BMI operated it were stripped out, as it was originally going to be scrapped.

There's been a lot of confusion over this aircraft for the last few months and TCX will received it on 1st November for preparation for service in December from memory. Advisors don't always have the information to pass on.

Wizard,

LGW-KGS-LGW (TCX1372/3) are operated by Boeing 757-200. Make a change form an Airbus!

Any idea of the IFE on the ex-BMI A330 after the Paris flight?

Does anyone know what the heck is the matter with TC's website? I've been looking for a flight from Stansted to Enfidha on 3rd May and have actually seen the TC one on the Travel Republic website. However, when I go into the TC website to compare prices, it keeps returning me to the beginning. On one link I actually got as far as inputting dates and number of passengers (1) and a price came up. I ticked to proceed and it said I needed to put in the number of passengers, which I'd already done, and threw me out again. :banghead: I'm obviously in no particular hurry but this has been happening for weeks now and it's driving me crazy. :que Incidentally this flight is not showing on other sites I've looked at.
