we flew with thomas cook according to the website you have to have pre booked seats to check in online. No we weren't on seperate bookings there was 3 of us and it was two sheets of paper for each boarding pass each way, you think they would manage to format it so that it was smaller or takes up one sheet each lol. Silly thing is it said online check in not available at Palma But when i handed them what i had printed they then gave them back to me to use for boarding whereas at stansted they insisted on printing out a new set !!
