I've no idea why they've changed the aircraft. Have you logged into your booking to check the plan again for the outbound, because their website is definitely showing an ex MYT 2-3-2 in the front cabin with downstairs toilets, and the inbound as 767. Try doing a dummy booking on TCX website and it will show you the seating plans for the aircraft that are currently scheduled to operate those flights.

Thanks SunAddict

It is confusing. I have done a dummy booking and when you come to select a seat it is showing (on TC airlines website as an all economy cabin from row 1 back) with the word 'economy' at row 1, and the cost of booking a seat there the same as elsewhere on the plane. However, the seat plan on TC airlines website is exactly the same as the one on Seat Guru which shows it as a premium economy cabin for the first 7 rows. Maybe they are treating it as an all economy seat plan but having the extra leg room for those in the front 7 rows free

It's a short haul flight so they don't have a premium service. It's all economy service. It's a late change and would cause complications if they started to charge extra for seats that people have already booked.

Hi

Anyone know where the plane will have arrived from before going to Lanzarote tomorrow morning. The plane has been changed to A332 from B767 and only one I can see is TCX2149 from Heraklion due in at 00:35

Thanks in anticipation

Hi, I am flying from Manchester to Tenerife on 17/08/16 flight number MT2428. will this be a Thomas Cook plane (the MT reference is confusing us slightly).

I am traveling with my partner and 4 year old daughter so I have booked row 13 seats C-E (one of the only rows on the plane with 3 seats). however I have since read on various reviews that these seats get really cold due to ventilation and people are constantly in the vicinity due to the toilets, does anyone know if this is true? lastly do the arm rests go up in this row? I am only asking as it is a night flight and our daughter will be asleep.

cheers

Hi there.
Can anyone tell me when TC change from their Summer to Winter IFE and if it's possible to download a copy of the in flight magazine? I'm flying from Glasgow to Holguin in October.
Thanks.

Inflight magazine is on their website. Summer season finishes at the end of October.

Hi, we're flying on this plane when we return from a cruise on 5/11/2016. I'm really confused about the seat plan. The one we've chosen our seats from, on the P and O Cruise Personaliser (9F and 9G) shows them to be a middle row, of 4 seats with a partition in front which looks like it has leg room. Although we didn't pay extra for this. There are 2 loos alongside this row, to the left. However on seat guru for this type of plane the layout is completely different. It shows a plane with downstairs loos (which has been the case on my previous TC long haul flights), and row 9 is directly behind row 8 - no partition. Any idea why there's such a difference in plans? And which is correct? I may need to change seats. If the P and O website is wrong.

P&O seat plan will be the correct one for the aircraft they have chartered. TCX A330s aren't all the same. Seat Guru only shows the original ex MYT A330s which as you say, have downstairs toilets. They also have 3 that don't have downstairs toilets. It appears P&O have chartered one of those.

Excellent! I think our seats are ok then. Thanks

Another question! So on reading up a little bit I now know that there is an air tanker 330 or non air tanker, I think! So, any idea is my plane one of these and, if so, which one? Thanks again

Thomas Cook Airlines have one A330 on lease from Air Tanker, but whether they've chartered it to P&O for that flight I don't know.

Thanks :)

We're on a flight to St Lucia from LGW with Thomas Cook a week later to pick up the Britannia, and I've booked premium seats. The Air Tanker aircraft to the best of my knowledge does not have a premium cabin; therefore if you go on your P&O Cruise Personaliser, and look at your flight details - if there is the option to upgrade to Premium Economy on your flight then it won't be the AirTanker aircraft that P&O have chartered. Not to say they wouldn't substitute it due to technical reasons, but hopefully that wont be necessary!

Hiya,

We have just booked my Son's wedding in Mexico. We fly out to Cancun from Manchester on the 26th November 2017 and back on the 11th December. There are 34 of us booked so far and we are going to book our seats together.

Could you possibly tell me which aircraft it will be and which window seats are blanked out.

Also will it be a Thomas Cook plane and what are these air tankers people are asking about.

Thanks
