MAN-HRG-MAN (TCX2518/9) are operated by Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

PS There's nothing wrong with the Airbus A32x, they're great aircraft with British built wings!

Perfect!!

Thank you so much :)

Nothing at all wrong with them no, just a bit cramped for a 5 hr flight :tongue

Thanks for your help :)

Doodah86,

The 757 and 767 fleet are just as cramped as the A32x, they share the same seat pitch! I've done up to 7 hours on the 752 (bearable at best!) and 10 hours on the 763 (no comment!).

Hi Darren:

I'm flying to Holguin, Cuba on March 7th from Manchester. I assume the aircraft will be the ex BMI A330-200 Airbus TCX244. Can you please tell me where this aircraft will be flying into from?

G-CHTZ should be inbound from Barbados (TCX815/6).

Hi Darren, we are flying on an a321-200 and I just wondered if there are any rows that there isn't a window? Many thanks

lklaura,

All rows have a window view although some are a half window depending on the seat position.

Hi again
Just been informed that the following flight has had a change of equipment therefore we have to rebook our pre-booked seats, type changed from B757 to A330-200 I presume, flight details as follows 5/9/2014, TCX1683 LGW to Hurgarda.
Seat config as follows, Row 8 DEF, Row 9 ABC DEF GHI, continuing towards the back, overwing exit Row 14, 4xToilets by Rows 27 & 28, 43 Rows in total.
My query is that if this is one of the 4 A330s operated by TCA, How come the seating plan on their website doesn't match up with those displayed on seatplan link.

Regards
Joe

It's because the ones linked on our What Aircraft? guide are the long haul configuration. You'll be flying on a higher density short haul configuration that are used over the summer months. Seat plan will appear here at some point.

Thanks Darren, thought that might be the case, any ideas why they pulled the 757?
One thought, have they consolidated their flights, therefore a330 from Manchester picks is up from Gatwick.

joe3400,

Its not that the 757 was pulled, they needed a larger aircraft plus there are less 757's around these days due to retirement as they've reached there passenger service life. Its not a flight consolidation as far as im aware, its not operating MAN-LGW-HRG.

Hi Darren

I have just booked TCX2462 Manchester to Arrecife on 9 June 2014 returning on 16 June. I've booked extra leg room seats and the configuration on the seat plan was 2-4-2. Just wondering what aircraft this would be?

Thanks very much.

Hi Darren,
We're flying back from AYT to LGW on TCX1727 19/4/14.
The seat plan shows 3-3-3 with the toilets / stairs as per old MYT downstairs config.
Are they using their old long haul A332 for short haul long term with seats packed in tighter, or are we getting the benefits of extra leg room etc for our short haul flight? Interestingly, the rear section of the seat plan is not selectable making me think they haven't decided this themselves yet?! (the seat plan goes to row 42, with 32DEF onwards not selectable, the window seat pairs are "twined" and seem to be selectable though).
Thanks.

rhodgreen,

An A332 is normally converted for short haul work in the summer months (354 seats). This is normally a TCX Scandinavian aircraft leased in for the busy summer season with the downstairs toilets just the same as the UK aircraft, but it's probably yet to be confirmed. It's unlikely to be long haul configuration.

Hi Darren.
am i right in assuming flight tx126 on 17th april to orlando has only 31" seat pitch as opposed to the normal 33". i am asking as this is a 2-4-3 instead of the 3-3-3. you pointed out in my earlier Q that it would be an ex bmi Airbus A330-200.
