Flight Only / Airline and Airports

Discussions relating to flight only, airlines and airports.
liana,

I can't see a flight listed with that flight number or time. It must exist though or TCX won't have sent it out. It could be an additional flight due to demand.

Strange :( we got a letter saying our flight going out is changing to the 8 am one due to change in the timetable ?? should i ring them up or is there a chance of the flight showing up later?

original one was due out about 14.30

liana,

No need to call as you'll only be told what's in the letter. With flight changes, it can sometimes take a while for timetables to be updated. Everything will be confirmed when you get your tickets.

Does the online check in allow you to turn up with your cases later than you would normally be able to check in?
What is the latest I can do this before travelling?
Many thanks

if you go on line to whatever plane your flyng with, i think you will get all the details as far as checking in on there , would hate to give you false information. but i dont think it means you can turn up late. tammie :)

You've still got to allow enough time to get your bags tagged and weighed. How long the queue is depends on how many people are there at the time, like normal checking in. Plus you've still got to go through security so I would arrive at the airport at about the same time as you would for normal check in.

OK. Can't see any benefit then. I've already done the your seat your choice option, so no rush for good seats. Thanks for the replies :tup

How much do Thomas Cook charge per kilo over weight? Do they only charge for whole kilos, or if I was a half kilo over, would they round it up?

I don't know off hand what the excess luggage charge is but if they do charge (check in persons discretion) I would think it would be per kilo. If it was only such a small amount and they wanted to charge I would just put some extra clothes on till I got on the plane.

Mobor One,

TCX are very strict with luggage weight and will charge for anything over your allowance. They'll round it up normally. It's £12 per kg currently on mid / long haul flights, £10 on short haul (cheap by some long haul scheduled carriers prices, up to £35 per kg!).

Is it possible to check in the night before with Thomas Cook at Manchester Airport?

If not any idea what time in the morning the ticket on departure desk opens at Manchester?

Tickets are lost in the post and I don`t fancy long queues, waiting for a ticket on departure, then another queue at check in.

Thomas Cook no longer offer day before check-in. The ticket desk is open from the early hours. Queues shouldn't be too bad at check-in this time of year, especially for flights departing before 10am or after lunchtime.

All,

Could someone let me know the registrations of the A332s TCX will use over this winter for the UK ?

Many many thanks in advance !

Hi there,
flying to Hurgarda from Manchester on 19/2/11 for 1 week. flight no TCX253K/L. It says is a B763. I know Thomas Cook have stopped IFE on short flights but does Egypt count as short or might we have IFE?
Also this flight departs at 9am, will it be coming from another destination, if so where??

thanks in advance because I'm sure someone will know, they always have done in the past!!!
merry Christmas to all

Borogirl,

TCX no longer show IFE on their narrow bodied aircraft, it's not really determined by destination. As your flights are operated by the wide bodied Boeing 767-31K/ER (winglets), IFE is still shown. Egypt is classed as a medium haul flight. You'll find further details on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

I'm mobile at the moment to can't check on the flight before. I'll have a look when I'm back in the morning.

EDIT: It looks like the aircraft lands in the early hours then has 5 or 6 hours on the ground before operating you flight. I can't tell you where from as the ACARS log is a callsign rather than flight number.
