rhodgreen,

IFE details are on our What Aircraft? guide. I keep it as up to date as I can but things do change from time to time. Up to recently, IFE wasn't available on the A32x fleet. However with new build aircraft now being delivered to the fleet, this is changing with the newer A321's having IFE installed. The older A321's I believe don't. Headphone sockets are 2 pin although most ports are now stereo on the new aircraft so you don't normally need an adapter for them. This is for newer aircraft only, older types (757, 767, A330) you still need an adapter. Seat back IFE is available on all the long haul configured A332's. They normally lease in a TCX Scandinavian A330 for the summer season charters or reconfigure one of the long haul. Depending on which they lease and which they configure for short haul depends on whether seat back or mainscreen IFE Is onboard. I would assume it does as most of the fleet has seat back IFE installed. You'll need a 2 pin adapter for the headphones.

Hi Darren

Hope you can help me with this one, we are due to travel on 5th May from Manchester to dalaman on TCX2708, we have pre booked seats on our outbound flight in row 7, can you tell me if these are window seats and also are they fairly close to the ife screens (this is for my little girl who's so excited about watching telly on the plane!)

Also wanted your opinion about booking our seats for the return flight, don't know whether to book them as this is a late night flight so not bothered too much about window seats but my missus is worried about been split up if no seats all together.

Hope you can help me with this query.

Cheers
Paul

Pa3580,

Welcome onboard
MAN-DLM-MAN (TCX2708/9) are operated by Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including a seat plan, aircraft and cabin photos. Row 7 has windows. IFE screens will be a couple of rows infront above the isle so not too bad. You don't want to be too close to them or you'll get neck ache looking upwards! A and H seats aren't the greatest for viewing the screens either as the overhead lockers get in the way. If you're worried about not being seated together on your inbound flight, selecting seats solves that problem. It's a lottery with seating, you get whatever is left.

Darren

Thank you for your advice

Hi Darren! I have just booked a holiday with TC to Skiathos in June 2014. Just checking the return flight TCX5005 and realised that we stop at a place called Kavala? Is this for refuelling? Would we be allowed off the plane? Also how long would we be at Kavala? Apologies for all of the questions, its just that I am a nervous flyer and the thought of two take off and landings on one flight is beginning to make me feel slightly stressed! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks

Elaine

ELAINE 1963,

As the runway in Skiathos is short, the aircraft can't take-off with the required fuel so needs to hop to a neighbouring island to take on the required fuel. It does mean 2 take-offs and landings, but it's routine and nothing to worry about. You won't be permitted to leave the aircraft during refulling, just stay in your seat with the seat belts off during refuelling. It will only take 30 minutes at the most so there's not enough time to deplane. You'll be fine.

Darren

Ah thanks Darren!

I am sure I can manage half an hour! From what I have been told about Skiathos, it will be well worth it!

Best Regards

Elaine

Hello,

I'm travelling to hurghda on Friday with thomas cook and have selected my seats. On all my corrispondence it states I'm going on a 767 but I've done a little research and seen that last week they flew out an a330 can anyone shed any light on this?

Merged with existing topic. Dazbo HT Mod

Twitter85,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. I assume it's TCX2514/5? It's scheduled to be operated by Boeing 767-300/ER and is still showing as such.

Darren

Hi,

Can anybody tell me which aircraft will operate TCX 5002 from East Midlands to Ibiza on 13/08/14 please?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Dazbo

My flight from LGW to Dalaman appears to be operated by A330, flight number TCX1906 on 20th Sept and returning a week later.

Is it possible to book seats in the premium cabin? So far only legroom seats in rows 8 and 30 are showing as available.

Thanks

I would think only Thomas Cooks could answer that one. They may not sell the seats in the Premium cabin because as soon as they do they have to pay the increased APD rate for them. I would contact Thomas Cook.

LAX2000,

There is no premium cabin. They are sold as extra legroom only. Call Thomas Cook and I'm sure they'll sort you out.

Darren

Can someone please advise me if it's just wishful thinking or did I read somewhere that TC now let you carry a handbag as well as 5kg of hand luggage? Their website still says 1 piece only but I'm hoping it simply hasn't been updated yet.

Wishful thinking. Still one piece, plus one bag of goods bought airside.
