littlebw1995,

It will be one of the two class configured aircraft that operates your flight. A specific aircraft isn't assigned to a specific route, it'll be one of the aircraft from the fleet. They are rotated regularly. From May 2015, an aircraft (G-VYKG) is on lease from Air Tankers. It isn't an actual air tanker, it's just leased from them and will be in the standard two class TCX configuration when it enters service. Whether this will be used on your day of departure or one of the others is anyones guess.

Just booked flights to Barbados 20/12/2015 TO 29/12/2015

IT IS A a 332-232 AIR TANKER coming back


The online seating plan shows it as the Air Tanker lease which is going to be in single class all economy, according to TCX website.

We are flying to ACE from MAN on 3rd June 2015 on TCX2024, returning on TCX2025.(I think)

What aircraft will we be on and is IFE available? IPad on standby if not...

Cheers, Iain.

IainB999,

Are you sure of the details? There are no flights showing on Wednesdays, only Monday, Thursday and Sunday. IFE details are linked on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Apologies - idiot mode installed!

IainB999,

I thought there must be a problem!

MAN-ACE-MAN (TCX2024/5) are operated by Airbus A321-200.

Make sure you go to the airport on the right day!

We're staying over the night before, which may have added to the confusion...

Thanks for the info Dazbo!

We're booking to go to Lanzarote in the summer on flight TCX 6018/9 from Newcastle. Our youngest child will be 14, but hes 6 ft tall and still growing. Looking at the seating plan the only extra legroom seats are in the middle of the plane and are only available for over 17s. I did notice the seats in row 1 are available but pricier than standard seats, will these have more legroom?

sheeshon,

Those seats are behind a bulkhead and are therefore available to those under the age of 17 etc. Being behind a bulkhead, they do offer greater room over standard seats, but less room than an exit row as they have the width of the door infront. Those behind bulkheads obviously have a limit to which you can stretch your legs out.

Hi Dazbo,

I just spoke to Thomas Cook online and they have advised that my flight from London Gatwick to Cancun on March 30th will not be an refurb plane. It states it is a 332-321 airbus with a 2-4-2 configuration, but I cannot get that to match any seat maps on seatguru. Can you help at all? I am interested in seat width, pitch and if the IFE is on demand or on a loop. When I flew with them last year, they had a premium economy section, but this year it doesnt, and the configuration last year was 3-4-3 and this year is 2-4-2 all the way through.

Thanks for your help.

The 30th is scheduled on a refubished aircraft. It's the all economy ex BMI that was refurbished in 2013, when it joined TC. Seatguru haven't caught up with that one yet :que

IFE is on demand. Seat pitch is the same as all their A330s, 31" and width approx 17/17.5" on the ex BMI.

BON VOYAGE,

MAN-AYT-MAN (TCX2548/2559) are operated by Boeing 757-200 / Boeing 767-300/ER respectively.

Morning!

On the TCX 172 GLA-LAS on 6th July, I believe a new Air Tanker A330 with all economy layout.

My question is of the layout of Seats 2A & 2C. Is there a bulkhead between the seats & the galley/door or is just open to the world leaving all & sundry to mill about whilst I try to get some kip? :)

Thanks in advance!

BobAgg,

There's normally a bulkhead but as the aircraft isn't in service yet, I can't say I've seen it!

Thanks Darren!

The seat map when 'choosing a seat' & the map on the 'Fleet Info' page of the Tam Cook website are different!

Time will tell!

Cheers again!
