Thanks and sorry for not giving flight numbers!
I rang and emailed TC and was told i do indeed have seat back IFE thank goodness!!!!
The girl when i booked clearly didnt know what she was on about , she told me the planes with seat back IFE were being swapped and used for turkey/egypt flights??
Its a good job no one else had this hotel available as if they had i would of actually booked with someone offering seat back ife, all becuase she didnt know what she was on about!

Thanks for the food info they told me they will heat whatever ive got with me.

She may be a few months out of date in that case. A few were configured for short haul / Canadian Affair over the summer with 30" seat pitch for use on short haul and Canadian Affair contracts, but they still have seat back IFE! She may be getting confused with the Boeing 767-300/ER's. Whatever is the case you won't be on these!

All unconfirmed at the moment just stuff that comes out of Thomas cook towers. Reason would be cost and demand.

I'm shocked if it's demand - I've never been on a transatlantic charter that wasn't at least 95% full!!
(and I do 2-3 a year).

Thomas Cook are also returning 3 of their long haul aircraft (A330; G-OJMB/C and G-TCXA) by November 2011 to the leasing company.

Darren, looks like it means more chances than ever before to end up on a 763 by January 2012, isn't it ?

Standard seats means the standard long haul aircraft and seat pitch, 33".

Darren,

You kindly confirmed that T Cook flight TCX51L Varadero - Manchester on the 28th January would be on a 'short haul' aircraft. We only found this out on receipt of our tickets. Is there any way to find out how often this happens re this, or any other long haul flights? Thomas Cook trumpet that all their long haul flights have 33" seat pitch, this is not true! They were able to inform us 6 weeks prior to our return flight that the aircraft would only have 29" seat pitch. If they know 6 weeks in advance that they will not be using an A330 it can hardly be an emergency replacement 767W.
It is my belief that T Cook are deceiving there customers intentionally with their advertising relating to seat pitch.

Thanks
