19ashfield,

Aircraft changes aren't a common occurance, but they do happen for various reasons. I don't have a list of flights that are changed, but I can check on specific ones if needed. I wouldn't say they are decieving customers as they are informing them of aircraft changes usually well in advance. However, I can understand your dissapoinment at booking a holiday being told of 33" seat pitch etc, and not getting it. I fly with them in 8 weeks and won't be happy if I don't get what I've booked either.

Welcome onboard :tup
BFS-SSH-BFS (TCX565K/L) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. TCX no longer offer IFE on narrow bodied aircraft. Hand held players (PSP's) are available for hire at £7.50 per flight.

GLA-SFB-GLA are operated by an Airbus A330-200. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? Guide (link below).

Probably be a bit early for summer season but here goes

TCK2438 0700-1230- 11/7 - MAN-CFU
TCK2439 1345-1520-18/7- CFU-MAN

The turn around time suggests a 767, but the kids especially on the 11/7 will still be at school. Coming back it does look likley that it would be!
Bit of an early request!

Cheers,
Nick

It's a little early as yet as I don't have the S11 schedule to hand at the moment. It would normally be a Boeing 757-200, but I'll know a little closer to the time.

Hi

I'm flying to Cayo Coco from Manchester on TCX174K on 30th January in the premium cabin. Can anyone tell me if the IFE is on demand in premium. I've read varying reports on this.

Hi Imbrugliasboy,

Unless you're flying on aircraft registered G-TCXA, I'm afraid it won't be on demand, even if you're flying premium.

I'm sure Darren will be able to confirm.

Hi, I hope am posting in the right forum.

This may seem like a daft question, but we are booking to fly to Goa with Thomas cook. I just wondered how long into the flight the meal would be served , the flight we are interested in is economy - leaving Manchester at 08.20 in the morning, and I was hoping to be able to get asleep for a few hours also.

We have never flown long haul before and as its an 11 hr flight - was wondering should we also pack sandwiches etc. The furthest we have flown is Egypt so wouldnt usually do that as the meal is usually enough. Any advice would be appreciated.

Suo,

Meals are normally served approximately 2 hours in to the flight. The pre-landing snack is served approximately 90 minutes before landing. Snacks are available for purchase onboard, but sandwiches may be a good idea if you think the meal won't be enough.

Hi Darren,

We're travelling to Punta Cana with Thomas Cook on Wednesday 26th January, departing Gatwick at 0850, returning two weeks later, arriving into Gatwick at 0730 on Thursday 11th February, TCK013K/L. I already know that it will be on an A330-200.

Just a couple of questions:

- the flight operates via Glasgow in both directions. Can you let me know what time we are due in/out of Glasgow in both directions?
- do you know which flight the aircraft will be operating before ours so I can keep an eye on potential delays?

Regards,

Tom

TMW9725,

You'll normally be on the ground in GLA for 1 hour. I can't give you the times though, I don't have them to hand. The flight comes in from Cayo Coco / Holguin, Cuba or Orlando Sanford.

Hi Darren, thanks for that info, 2 hours into flight should be great and then I can hopefully nod off for a few hours! Good to know they serve a 2nd "snack" I was wondering about that on such a long flight.
I am quite apprehensive about the flight , because 11 hours just seems so long.
We cant afford the premium seats as its a xmas holiday, which is costing double what it would cost any other time.
Hopefuly the seats should be OK as they are advertised as exactly the same as Thomson and First choice in long haul economy. thanks - S
