cabot,

TCX's long haul fleet is a mixture of former My Travel and Thoms Cook aircraft. The ones with the downstairs toilets and flight cameras are the ex-MYT aircraft. Your flight should be operated by one of the former MYT aircraft as the former TCX are operating short / mid haul and Canadian flights this summer. We won't know the registration until the day before, but I would expect it to be G-MDBD. Have a great holiday.

Hi we are travelling to egypt hurghada on 13 july with thomas cook we are hearing different stories about in flight entertainment can any one confirm whats happening
cheers mick

mickturtle,

The latest IFE information is listed on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Flights operated by narrow bodied aircraft won't have IFE. Flights operated by wide bodied aircraft will have IFE. On flights with no IFE, hand held players are available for hire at £7.50 per flight.

Darren

Our tickets say its a a330 with 354 seats what type of plane is that

mickturtle,

It's an Airbus A330-200 in the high density (former long haul) / short haul configuration, ie 354 seats compared to 323 on the long haul aircraft. More details are on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Darren

So it should have ife then

mickturtle,

The A332's have seat back IFE.

Just booked our seats for our flight to Kephalonia, next month. We don't normally pre book, but as there's only the 2 of us going this time we thought we would. Had a reasonable price I think - £30 return for the 2 of us.

So when they say no IFE does that include radio/music onboard

Thanks

As far as I know yes, no IFE at all.

Hi there,

I am flying from Manchester-Puerto Plata on Saturday 10th July on flight TCX062K. Was wondering what aircraft would be used, if it has on demand IFE, and what incoming flight it operates so i can check for delays?

Thanks so much for any of your help in advance,

David

problem with thomas cook!

I booked our pre-bookable seats via thomas cook airlines on TCX820K in janurary..

I checked online last week only to discover they were no longer booked, and the seating plan on the plan has changed.. I rang them, and oh my word, it took an hour on hold in a que!

Anyway, the call handler explained the plane had been changed and our seats were no longer available, but they dont do refunds because they had cancelled or changed the flights, same flight, different plane! after another 45minutes on the phone i got a £26 refund and they re-booked out seats, 30 A+B right at the back..

I asked for bulk head at the front but she said they were medical seats only, i explained i have problems with my knees and could get a drs letter as evidence but apparently its not a medical condition!!

so we're now sat at the back in the corner infront of a loo!!!

We went to Varadaro flying Thomas Cook in Premium seats.

We chose the last 2 rows window seats and when we got on the plane another row of seats were behind us.
We have travelled Premium seats on all long haul holidays, ie Mexico DR more than once We booked in ok but when it came to get on the plane we were LAST to board not as usual first. It says complimentary drinks throughout flight well we got offered 2 on the outward flight-the screens at the back of the seats were all ripped and when you put the earphones in the seats you had to sit and wobble them about to get to hear anything and sit and hold them in position- we decided just to watch the map!!!! Lunch we were last to be served "You can chose today is beef or chicken but we only have chicken" we decided on chicken they were ok with duty free but didnt need to buy so pass on that one).We saw a gentleman going back to his seat with about 6 cans of lager which were put in the wife's hand luggage he then went and got another 4 so we went to the front and asked for 2 cans 1 each only to be told bar is closed we are serving tea in half hour (complimentary drinks throughout the flight??????????? ).
After a wonderul holiday we had to come home
We went to the airport booked in ok in the premium seat queue with the help of our rep Alex and went upstairs to wait our flight. We watched our plane land and saw our luggage being put in the hold. We were then called for our flight and it was a mad scramble to get through why? it wont go without you.
We had the same seats--this time we were offered just 1 yes 1 drink from the trolley going round, it didnt come round again didnt even bother with the tv. We did get a lovely quilt to settle down and go to sleep. Duty free again didnt buy. The cabin lights were dimmed when the sun was rising so no sleep.Again we spotted people going to the front for drinks my seat partner had 3 coCacolas and 3 ribena drinks and put them in her hand luggage . We then had a light breakfast scone or muffin again my seat partners boyfriend went up from 10 minutes before we landed and came back with 5 cocacolas and ribena's which again went into the ladies hand luggage which she covered with a coat
All in all its just a rip off to pay all that money and you sit in a plane which is being ripped apart no sound and guests are putting drinks in their hand luggage by greed. we have decided not to fly tc premium seats ever again and therefore looking at going to DR again and with Thomsons where they know how to look after their passengers and polite and availale all through the flight. Also they have at least 6 premium crews just to help not 2 as on Thomas Cook.

OK rant over anybody got any comments thank you

Just wondering,

Does TCX062K to POP stop at Belfast on the way? When you search the flight it says it departs from belfast?

Hope it doesnt....

Hi

We are flying out on 3 August to Sanford on TCX35K, we booked this direct from Manchester, any ideas what plane this is on, documents show Standard Inbound/Outbound cabin, nothing about 29" seat with no IFE.
Also is this direct from Manchester as I keep seeing this flight number pop up and mention Glasgow
thanks
