What would we do without you Darren. :kiss Now perhaps you could answer a query for me. As mentioned, I booked my TC flight via Thomson's and received the tickets yesterday. There is nothing about being able to check-in on line but just the standard recommendation to check in 2 hours before the flight. I will be at the airport 2.5 hours before so it's not a problem but I haven't checked in at the airport for ages and do prefer to do it on-line to save all the queues. Is this possible??

It doesn't matter, everything is held electronically on their system so you'll get your seats.

Don't worry jonny. As Darren says, they are held electronically and you've seen them on screen so they will presumably be printed on your boarding card.

Aslemma,

As you probably won't have a Thomas Cook booking reference, I doubt you'll be able to use online check-in.

Another your seat your choice question.

We have booked a holiday with Thomas Cook through a travel agent, when we booked the holiday we paid £15 a person to prebook our seats.

I have entered our details onto the Thomas Cook Airlines website and selected our seats, but when I went through to the confirmation screen it says I have to pay £15 a person to book them.

Do I have to wait to select my seats because I booked through a travel agent?

fossman,

If you've pre-booked seat, this isn't the same as select your seat. Pre-booked seats just means you'll be allocated seating together. If you want to select your specific seat, thats an extra change and can be done once your flight is loaded on to the system.

Thanks for the reply Darren but .....

We went on holiday last month and when we booked the holiday at the travel agents we pre-booked our seats, when the tickets arrived it said we could log into the Thomas Cook Airlines website and select our seats which I did and it cost nothing.

I booked a holiday last night on the Thomas Cook website and there was no option to pre-book your seats, so I entered all our details into the Thomas Cook Airlines website and was able to select our seats again it cost nothing.

This is why I don't understand why it's asking me for £15 per person for my other holiday.

Please be advised, that if booking an ultimate style holiday or indeed any holiday which have a 'your seat, your choice' on it as a freebie, it will only be free if you book within 99 days of travel. If, for peace of mind, you decide to pre book your seat choice outside of the 99 days you will be charged the applicable price.

Do TXC have a day before check in at Gatwick? If I do the online check in, can I drop the bags in the day before?
