alboy26,

Subject to last minute aircraft changes, you'll get the seat you've chosen. TCX operate a mixed ex-MYT and TCX fleet of A332's so it could be from either/or depending on what is assigned on the specific day. G-TCXA, the one with on-demand IFE won't be used on your flight as it's being reconfigured for mid-haul work based at LGW through the summer season.

You'll find the full retail range listed in Thomas Cooks inflight magazine. You'll just need to register with Ink Publishing to gain access.

Oh no we have just booked and paid in full for our holiday to Cuba in April and after we paid it then said seat pitch is only 29" not what we were expecting! I think I can cope with 29" but know my partner won't, please do you know if we will still have the seat back TV's????

wantaholiday,

It sounds like the flight has been swapped to the standby aircraft; Boeing 767-300/ER, probably for aircraft maintenance reasons. These don't have seat back IFE. It would normally be the usual Airbus A330-200. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Can someone please confirm my flight times are correct. When we originally booked we were given different times then we recieved a letter saying they had been changed. I was looking at glasgow airport's website today and the flights today are ahowing the previous time we were given. The times i have are flying out of Glasgow18.00 TCX913K coming back flying out of Antalya 01.40 TCX913L. On the glasgow airport's website it says TCX913K departing at 08.00 and arriving in 18.50.

mumoftwo1978,

Always follow the flight times given by the airline on any letter they have sent you. You can't go off flight time history as your flight times may be an excption. Airport website information is generally updated at the beginning of each season and doesn't always reflect any changes aftwards. What are your dates of travel? Times will be confirmed when you receive your tickets.

To confirm, you are on an a330, but one of the ones that has been re configured to have more seats in ECON (so the less leg room). 3 x a330s are being re configured in time for May 1st, unfortunately for you and a couple of other flights around end of April, your aircraft is one of these.......so you will have seat back IFE but less leg room

Thanks for the update MikeBravo. So much for TCX saying they won't be using them for mainline long haul services!

They are as follows:

G-OJMB - original TCX
G-OJMC - original TCX
G-TCXA - original TCX

G-MLJL - ex-MYT
G-MDBD - ex-MYT
G-OMYT - ex-MYT

Hi Daz,

So do you think by chance the aircraft I will be on is the reconfig one with less leg room:

13/05/10 TCX174K OB
27/05/10 TCX174L IB

Im hoping row 9 is behind the bulkhead and/or toilets are downstairs (wishful thinking perhaps)

Many Thanks
Candice

Candyboo,

The information I have is the reconfigured aircraft won't be used on mainline Thomas Cook long haul flights, only Canadian Affair (as per the charter agreement) and interim short / mid haul flights. I would hope the above (wantaholiday's post) is the exception. Your flights should be with the usual long haul configured aircraft.
