TWEETIE PIE,

Seat pitches on tickets are only for aircraft that are effected by changes, spefically long haul flights that are being operated by short haul configured aircraft. You'll not have it on your tickets for your flights. Seat pitches are given on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Darren

thanks Darren.........1 inch better off for us.....make a difference with the tray down...tweetie

Hi darren
Thanks for the info, checked the what aircraft and:
Airbus A330-300. Configuration: Forward ecomony cabin 3-3-3 (rows 1-11) with 32" seat pitch. Centre and rear cabins 2-4-2 with 30" seat pitch. IFE provided via screens over the isles.
This seems to tie with the information for no setback ife and 29" seats on tickets and documentation

However, TC seem to have the seat config for Airbus A330-200. Configuration: Economy 3-3-3 (rear 7 rows 2-3-2) with 30" seat pitch, Premium Economy 2-3-2 with 35" seat pitch (sold as extra legroom seating, no premium benefits).

The tickets, which i picked up the other day does say A333
So something is wrong, the plane for tcx092k/l manchester / sanford 16th July has changed, or the seatplan on Thomas cook is wrong. I assume the plane has changed and seat config is correct, otherwise will be a lot of irate people booking seats
I assume the A333 refers to the A330-300?
Thanks

manc,

I wouldn't rely on the seat plans sent out with ticket booklets, they're not always right. Given the A333 (Airbus A330-300) is leased, TCX (UK) won't have a seat map for the booklets, hence the confusion. Passengers where flights have been changed have normally been notified in advance. TCX092K/L over the next week or two is showing as OY-VKI (A333) is operating it.

Hi Darren
It was the online seat map I was going off, this shows 3-3-3 so must be the A330-200 (29" seats)?
The ticket does say A333, 29" seats, so ignore that and go off the seat config when choosing the seats?
Just want to make sure if choose my seats, these are the ones i end up with.
Never really used this before, always take lucky dip at the airport!
Thanks
manc

manc,

You can only go off the seat map loaded on the online system, but OY-VKI has been operating the flight.

Darren

I would recommend Thomas Cook,I flew with them last year to turkey and they were brilliant. We was put at the front so we had extra leg room lucky for us we didnt even realise until we got on the plane. Meal was decent wasnt brill but it was perfectly fine, would recommend flying with these :-)

Cheers for the info.

Manc, the seat map online is wrong......but if you choose from that you will get those seats but on the a333. so if you choose for example 20ABCD, on line it would look ike 3 and one across the aislie.

Onboard you will have 2 and 2 across the aisle,.

I would choose the 3-3-3 in front cabin as leg room's bigger, (noone knows this apart form those who have read it on here!)

Hello again!

Returned from LPA to MAN with TCX on 28/6 and can only thank you for the info you provided. 763`s were used on both legs, with the return being serviced by G-TCCA which was particularly interesting with the external cameras. Both flights were on-time (in fact early) and service was exactly as expected. Reading through the backlog of posts I just want to confirm to people scheduled to travel short-haul on the 767 series that IFE is available regardless of traveltime.

Just a quick query if you would oblige. I can see on the TOM forum you have dealt with this matter but does the same procedure apply to TCX? I travelled with her indoors and 2 kids, I did not pay to pre-select my seats. On both legs the seats allocated at check-in were identical (24CDEF), quite some odds i considered. But did the airline pre-select these seats for me? If so, would it be fair to say that people travelling with kids could save some cash if they merely want to be sat together with no real preference for exact seat? Will TCX seat adults with their kids prior to departure, for free? Both flights were almost full and I saw a similar point throughout the cabin and there were no complaints re allocations. I just thought I`d post this issue in an attempt to help people save a few quid that may be better spent on the old San Miguel!

PS, there was a medical emergency on the return flight and I thought the crew dealt with the matter excellently and my best wishes go to the chap and his family. Well done TCX!

Thanks for any opinions.

Fergmeister,

I'm glad you had good flights, hope the holiday was great too. Seats are aparantly pre-allocated, but I've not always experiencced that. The flight cameras are great aren't they! I like the rear belly cam coming in to land so you can watch the landing gear take the impact and tyre smoke! When seating is pre-allocated, it's not really a way of saving cash as those that have pre-booked seating together will take first priority along with those that have selected their seats. Other passengers are then allocated seating around them so there are no guarantees you'll get seats together. Most of he time you will, but it's not always the case.

Darren

Hi MikeBravo
Thanks for this, just checked and they have finally changed the seat plan to the correct one for A330-300

Thanks
manc

Hi
A quick question for those in the know. Looking at the TC website, your seat your choice, it says £10 per person each way to pre book seats together (£20 each). The flight is in just over a week, is that the total charge? Just wanted to check before doing this, that there would not be any extra charges.
Also, i have heard that some people have to wait to within 7 days of flight. Never done this before, so just clarifying a few things

Thanks
manc

Hi manc, I am finding the charges totally confusing. I ended up pre-booking seats yesterday online. It was £10 each way. This is for a long haul flight a month away. I am sure it was more when I looked a couples of weeks ago . Received an email with my seat selections immediately.

I can confirm from what the system says the prices have reduced during the last 2 weeks, whether this is a mistake or not is another matter. Short Haul is now £7.50 each way and extra leg room £30.00.

Thought it seemed cheaper Befree!

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is anyway to check that a flight from LGW to Sanford, departing 10 September TCX074K and returning 24 September on TCX074L is full?
Thanks

Sorry forgot to mention we are travelling Premium Class.
Thanks

Sorry no it is commercially sensitive information, you can see how many other seats are booked on the Your Seat Your Choice website.

pirates1,

As mentioned above, we aren't permitted to post such information. Reasons are explained in this topic: SEAT AVAILABILITY QUESTIONS.
