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.
