Thanks for that Dazbo, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. I suppose it doesn't really matter that much but anything that helps to keep 2 near teens entertained is a bonus. :lol:

Hi,

I'm travelling with Mytravel on the 2nd June, 2007 from Glasgow to Sanford. Flight number outbound: MYT065.

Can you find out what plane this will be as I am considering upgrading to the Premier seats and wondered what it is like.

Much appreciated

Thanks
Louise

Loobyt,

It'll be one of their Airbus A330-243's or Boeing 767-31K's. I can't say as yet since my sources only go up to the end of the winter season, they don't show the summer season as yet. Regardless or aircraft type, both will have 30" seat pitch in economy (the A332 being configured 3-3-3 to the 763's 2-4-2) with 35" seat pitch in premier gold configured 2-3-2. The biggest difference is with IFE; the A332 having excellent seat back IFE installed with flight external cameras etc.

If anyone is flying for the first time with MyTravel to Goa this year, I have to say that they are excellent.

We flew with them from Gatwick on 16/12/06 and there was a delay from 1750 til 1515 the next day. They handled it very well (overnight in the Hilton) and the flight itself was very good.

We re-booked with them to fly this year from 15/12/07-06/01/08 on flight only and they explained about the 1 nights accommodation and what it meant etc as we haven't flown flight only on charters before. They told us that they weren't operating from Birmingham after the current season which is a shame as it is only 40 minutes from us, but then again the duty free is better at Gatwick!

Excellent flights, excellent customer service.

We've had the invoice through for the flights to Goa and the time is hugely different to last year.

MYT068 is due to leave Dabolim on 06/01/08 at 12:15 and arrive at Gatwick at 19:50. MYT068 last year on 31/12 was 12:00 and 17:25.

Any ideas? Does that mean we will be stopping somewhere?

we are going to goa next month and due to the long flight i decided to go for the premiar tickets at cost of £159 each inc 90 mins check in and 30kg baggage allowance.Got tickets today and they say 20kg luggage allowace and we have to be there 3 hours before the flight :roll: .I rung my travel, and was on the phone for half an hour waiting, and then got a bloke who said it'd be fine cos ive booked and paid for premiar tickets and it does say premiar on the ticket.i said i wanted tickets showing what i've paid for and he said he'd ring me back but he hasn't :evil: :evil: I don't want to ring them back but am not looking forward to justifying everything at the airport and feel i shouldn't have to. :roll: :roll: :roll:

A similar thing happened to me 2 years ago.When I got the tickets it had 15kgs instead of 20kgs.I phoned Thomas Cook and they just told me to pay the excess and keep the recipts.I wouldnt accept this as I had nothing in writing.I phoned about 5 times in all and in the end they refunded the amount I would be charged for the excess baggage.

We had a similar problem a couple of years ago.

We contacted our holiday company who arranged to have new tickets printed and we had to pick up tickets at the airport.

Any time I,ve used the premie service with Monarch the only difference in my ticket from the normal one was a small p. I cant remember where exactly on the ticket, after the flght no. I think. I was a bit dubious, as everything else on the the ticket was as for a normal one, but it was accepted at both airports without question. In actual fact you will be in the comuter records for the flight as a prmier passenger so you should be o.k. anyway Alan

Hi Salucy
We have flown premair gold to Goa the last two years and have just got back, the luggage allowance on the tickets has always said 20kgs but we have never had a problem at check in, although this time our luggage was not off first at either end, but the extra space was well worth the money

We've booked flight only with MyTravel for the end of the year and I'm wondering what happens if the return flight is delayed? Do they provide you with a number to call to check before-hand, and if there is a delay do the same rules apply as if you had booked accommodation ie overnight stay if applicable?

We were delayed going out from Gatwick last year and MyTravel arranged accommodation at the Hilton. One of the guys we were chatting to over breakfast was flight only so I'm presuming it's the same if you are delayed on return.

I called MyTravel to check, spoke to two different people and neither of them knew! We haven't booked a flight only on charter before so would appreciate any info.

mands,

The MAN-LAS flight is normally opperated by one of their excellentAirbus A330-243's. These are very nice aircraft with seat back IFE (movies, radio, flight cameras & flight information) and 30" seat pitch. This is the seating plan.

Have a great time. Hope you win plenty in the casinos!

Hi Darren
Thanxs for that info we paid for extra leg room hope it was worth it. As long as the drinks trolley comes around often enough i'll be fine as i'm not keen on flying never flew this long before, but i'm sure the holiday will make up for the long flight

The schedule is showing they are using an Airbus A330-243 for your flight. These are excellent birds.

Have a great time,

Darren
