mikeandrach,

Do you have any flight numbers or dates of travel? I can't check specific flights without some details,

Tcx2442 is the Saturday flight I believe. I imagine a 767 in place of a 757 as the Airbus 320 series may be too small, praying they don't use the 757300 on this route!

mikeandrach,

MAN-MAH-MAN (TCX2442/3) are operated by Airbus A321-200.

Thanks, is,it,the same for flights 2478 and 2234 and 2364? Looks like there are more flights this year so,maybe that's why smaller,planes. I,know,the 757 300 planes are staying (1 each at gatwick and Glasgow?), but are there any 757 200's left? The dreaded g-fcli that always seems to curse me has I believe been sold to dhl and actually delivered today to be converted to a freighter

mikeandrach,

MAN-MAH-MAN (TCX2442/3) are operated by Airbus A321-200.
MAN-MAH-MAN (TCX2478/9) are operated by Airbus A321-200.
MAN-MAH-MAN (TCX2234/5) are operated by Airbus A321-200.
MAN-MAH-MAN (TCX2364/5) are operated by Airbus A321-200.

All are subject to the specific dates you are wanting to travel.

G-FCLI was withdrawn from TCX service on 02/01/16 for delivery to DHL on the 4th. Other than that, only the two 753's remain.

Thanks for that, I would be flying in August do you think they will stick with the Airbus or are we likely to see the bigger 767 at all?

So far as I know the 757-300 planes are based 1 each at gat wick and Glasgow, are these likely to stay based here? Any plans to sell them? And are all the 757's gone now?

It would have been useful to mention August when asked originally so I could check for the month you were planning on flying. Aircraft are scheduled a year in advance so unless there's a technical issue, it's unlikely to change. You'll have to ask Thomas Cook if they plan on selling the 753's!

As I mentioned above "Other than that, only the two 753's remain".

So, I've read a few reviews about the premium economy (P.E.) vs regular economy and it seems that the reviews are either really good or really bad! So I have questions...

Are all beverages free or do you have to pay for them in P.E. & are they "unlimited?
Do you have to pay for head sets in P.E.?
Do you have to pay for upgraded TV or is that complimentary in P.E.?
Do you get blankets and pillows on request in P.E.?
Is there a separate staff for P.E. or is there just one service for all?
What was your overall experience in P.E.?
Is it worth it?

Hi

I have just booked a flight to Cuba in May and just discovered that TC no longer gives out ATOL certificates for flights. Just concerned in case anything happens. Is anybody else concerned about this

Thanks :que

No. My travel insurance covers me. As you're travelling independently I presume you've bought the correct cover for that sort of trip?

I don't know if it was you the posted the question, but this was asked and answered on the Air Travel forum on Trip Advisor yesterday, so if it wasn't you it might be worth you having a look on there.

Can anyone tell me if Thomas Cook Airlines ever offered a flight from Manchester to Heraklion departing Manchester at 07:00 on October 4th 2016.
I know that it is not on offer now.
I have tried ringing but after being put on hold for over an hour I gave up.

I didn't think that TC ever gave out ATOL certificates for flight only bookings? I fly with them to Cuba every 12/18 months but my ATOL certificate is always issued by the small independent TO I book the holiday with.

The flights were Atol protected for just over 3 years from October 2012 to November 2015 when the flights were being sold by TCTO. The airline went back to selling their own flights from 15 November 2015, so not Atol protected any longer.

Hi.

Just a quick query. Flying TCX2496 Manchester to Arrecife 29 June. I think its a B767. Any info on the plane type. Thanks

Malchester,

MAN-ACE-MAN (TCX2496/7) are indeed operated by Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Does anybody know if the b767s are returning from condor for the summer season? And will they be repainted into the new sunny heart livery?
Cheers

Cheeky999,

They are leased to Condor for the winter season. They'll be back in the UK for summer 16. They already have the sunny heart tail.
