Gregg,

What are your dates of travel? Your flight numbers may have changed, that's all.

re - your seat your choice.

I rang Thomas Cook Airlines, got through straightaway and was told that my booking of £6 per sector meant I was only entitled to book 7 days before hand but I could pay an upgrade and book now if I wished to

My sister told me that last year when she travelled to Benidorm with Thomas cook. She was one of the first people at the airport. Yet her and her family were given seats at the back of the plane. She did not enjoy it as she got bumped on the legs every time the flight crew came with trolley's. I don't want this to happen to us. Can you tell me if it's allocated on a first come basis why she was given seats at the back of the plane.

If you have not paid for a meal - approx 60% of the plane, you are pre sat from the back working towards the front.

This is so passengers who are eating are all sat together, pretty standard for this for airlines who offer meal opt out.

You don't want to have opted out of a meal and then be sat next to someone eating, also creates hard work for crew serving.

You can pay extra to pre book a seat towards the front if required

JKKne, don't understand that at all. It cost me £6 per person per flight when I booked last month for September. How much was the upgrade and did you?

Don't understand how your sister got her legs bumped more sat at the back of the plane? The aisles are the same width, so she would have got them bumped just as much at the front. Or am I missing something?

I am flying from Leeds Bradford to Dalaman 2 April and returning 10 April Tcx 152 k/ Tcx 152l
the invoice states its a A320 airbus will this be the short haul one they use with a 28 inch seat pitch or might we be lucky and get a bigger seat pitch. Thanks in advance.

My wife and I are travelling to Mexico in a few days and want to combine our luggage. We have 20kgs per person allowance and want to check if anyone knows if we can combine this allowance so that we have one case up to 30kg and one up to 10kg or whether each case has to stay within the 20kgs allowance? Its a bit unclear from the faqs on the website, it does state that baggage can be combined as long as one item does not exceed 30kgs lifting allowance but doesnt state whether this is still the case when checking in more than one item.

Hope this makes sense and thanks very much in advance.

Regards

Hi Andy

We combined when we flew TC last year. The case weighed about 26kg and the holdall about 13kg. They just weigh the first bag and then put the second on to get an overall weight.

Hi jus a quick question if anyone can help, I have booked to travel to the Dominican Republic in September and have also booked the Premium cabin upgrade. I have received my confirmation letter from Thomas Cook with the holiday details however there is no mention of the premium cabin upgrade. I have spoken to customer services who confirm it is on the booking, can anyone tell me if it will show on the tickets or do I just have to take their word that there will be no problem at checkin?

It will be clearly printed in your ticket booklet, should also be on the official invoice

You can combine, but if it is a gram over 30kgs, TCX have the right to ask you to repack. This is for health and safety reasons for the handling staff who load/pick up your luggage. They are not permitted to lift anything over this weight.

Hi

I've read that Thomas Cook will be using aircraft with a 30" seat pitch for their Canadian Affair flights this Summer. Is this true of all flights? We're booked to go Glasgow-Vancouver return (not short haul by any definition!) and booked premium for the increased legroom. If they're using the 30" pitch planes there is no premium cabin, is that right?

I've checked on the website and they're still taking premium bookings for our flights. Would they be doing this if it was already decided they were going to use a different aeroplane?

Does anyone know if there is any way I can check? I probably would cancel and rebook through another airline if I can confirm the change before I'm supposed to pay off the rest of the tickets. 30" to Vancouver??? No way!

Thanks

starfire,

Welcome onboard :tup
You'll find aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). 2x Airbus A330-200's are be reconfigured for summer 2010 to cover the Canadian Affair contract. These will be back to the 354 seat high density configuration with 30" seat pitch in economy. The premium cabin will remain untouched with 35" seat pitch.
