Sunaddict,

Oh no what is the seat pitch now? I always found thomas Cook long haul to be good.

It's a minimum of 31" in economy, the same as most scheduled airlines. The seats are the new slim line ones though, so actual leg room is about the same as before.

Just wondered what I can expect from our flight from Man to Cun February '16.

I was expecting the flight to be one of the refurbished A330's with Premium but have gone online to reserve seats and its showing flight TCX116 with a 2-4-2 configuration and no standard economy all the way through.

Is this likely to be an old seat configuration flight on an A330 or something else?

Thanks

Sorry. Question should read "TCX 116 with a 2-4-2 configuration and no standard economy all the way through." I.e. No Premium Seating?

Thanks. I must admit I'm disappointed there are no Premium seats. It's a treat for my wife...
Good job she's only 4'9"

G - TCXB positioned up from Perpignan into Manchester last night, and is now currently doing TCX848 to JFK!

G - VYGK is not currently flying so assuming has gone into refit today.

Also of note G-OMYT went Tec (again) in Cuba yesterday again, due to land into Manchester around 20hrs late!!!

HI Fly to LAS, that's gotta hurt!


The Hi-Fly to Vegas did hurt, I take back my previous post about their A330 on the TCX contract! Squashed into a 3-3-3 configuration, 4 films on the IFE 2 of which were in French. I know there's no time to give the long-haul cabins a thorough clean but this one was filthy! Can't wait for it back to Glasgow later today, my window seat hasn't got a window!

Hi all,

I am flying from Birmingham on 15th August with Thomas Cook but on an Evelop flight - no E9 3403. Can you tell me what type of plane it is please and which seat would have a window? We normally seat 3 or 4 rows back from middle exit door

hippyjak,

They use Airbus A320-200. The seats you mention have a window.

Hey

I have family flying on TCX2416 to Kos today, they have been informed that it is going to be operated by a A330 instead of the normal 767 due to "operational circumstances". Any idea as to why the change?

Operational circumstances can mean a lot of things. Does it matter?. Consider it a bonus!

Hi, I'm a seriously terrified flyer but still put myself through thr ordeal a few times a year. On 22/8 I'm flying man-mah returning 5/9, tcx2442/3. We did these exact fights last year and the outbound flight was switched to a 767 which was great, lots of empty seats. The flights this year are still showing as a 757-200. I assume last years switch was probably a one off tech issue?

I've booked row 12 seats def, which are close to an emergency exit, at least seat f appears to have lots of legroom but does d and e? Also does f have a window with a good view do you know? W

Any general thoughts on the way tcx look after their 757 fleet? Last year the plane seemed very ropey. We had to get off at Mahon as soon as we had boarded due to an engine fault, after re boarding the pilot told us the dusky hadn't been fixed but we could fly back as it was. After that the hold door wouldn't seal and took a few mins to fix.

Hi,

I am flying on TCX162 from MAN-CUN on 19/08/15 at 09:20am, and then the return leg 2 weeks later (TCX163 from CUN-MAN on 03/09/15 at 15:40). I was just wondering if its at all possible for you to tell which aircraft we'll be travelling on? I think we've got the A330-200(?), but I'm hoping we've managed to avoid the AirTanker one.

Thanks.
