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.

Afternoon Darren,

I am looking at booking a two day break to Salou and wondered what aircraft type would be operating the following Thomas Cook flights:-

LGW - REU TCX1224 09.09.11
REU - LGW TCX1283 11.09.11

Thanks for your help.

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).

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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