Hi
Can you please tell me which aircraft (reg) if possible will be operating Newcastle-Faro flight no: TCX6318 this Saturday 20th Aug 2011, I know it is a 757-200 apparently already.

NCL currently has X4 based 752 I understand at NCL this summer x2 of which are the leased a/c from Mint Airways, and Astraeus, and the other 2 were planned to be TCX a/c, I have checked on TC website and our flight is not scheduled to be operated by either the Mint or Astraeus a/c and it states that seeing as our flight is not listed it will be operated by a TCX a/c.

Also, can you please tell me which flight it operates before the Faro.

Thanks a lot
J

jays25,

Aircraft registration makes little difference as all offer essentially the same interior and facilities. Aircraft are rotated regularly so it could change between now and then. It's one of the TCX fleet. Your flight is the first one of the day so there isn't a flight immdiately before it.

Thanks for your help.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

Hi Darren,

We're looking at flying from Manchester to Sanford, FL in September. Flythomascook are the cheapest, but we're a bit worried about the type of plane/cabin .: leg room/in-flight entertainment using a chartered flight over someone like Virgin or Delta.

Flight ref: TCX 472

What plane is scheduled for this flight? Is it likely to have TV's in the headrests etc?

Many thanks,

James.

gulf,

Welcome onboard :yup

Luggage scales are fine in your hand luggage. They aren't a restricted item. IFE is changed every 3 months so it'll be different from your flight in June. August-October IFE is listed in the inflight magazine, linked on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

Jimb0loes,

Welcome onboard :tup

You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). MAN-SFB-MAN (TCX472/3), subject to the dates of travel, are operated by an Airbus A330-300. This is the high density aircraft with 29" seat pitch and IFE screens over the isles. Seat pitch is slightly less than the likes of Delta and Virgin.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

We are due to fly next year on the TCX216 and 217 return. I know it's a long way off but is there any way of telling which type of aircraft this is?
Also is it worth the £50 return upgrade price...Are the seats any more comfortable?
Thanks

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

Hi Darren,
flying (hopefully) on Sat, Gat to San TCX172. Do you think there will be any problems with Hurricane Irene? It shoild hopefully have passed by the time we land on Sat, but could flights from San on Fri to Gat be affected, resulting in delays and/or cancellations?

Any idea on such occurences?

Thanks

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

LEE163,

I'm not a meterologist I'm afraid! You'll just have to wait and see what happens and contact your airline / check on the website for any updates if it's expected to be around when you fly. It's possible there could be knock-on effects but you'll just have to keep an eye on things.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

Fair enough, any idea where TCX172 is coming in from prior to Sat? Will it just be the same plane returning from San?

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

LEE163,

Yes, it should be the TCX246/7.

Looking at the projected track I doubt Irene will cause any disruption to air travel. You can see the projected track herehttp://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?5-daynl#contents which shows it well off to the east.

Re: THOMAS COOK AIRLINES - FLYTHOMASCOOK .. Q&As

rachie-m,

I assume they are long haul flights? LGW-Punta Cana-LGW (TCX216/7)? Flights are operated by Airbus A330-200. The old premum seats are expected to be removed at the end of the summer season.

Darren

Thanks Darren, yes! I wonder why they are selling these seats when they plan to remove them?
