Darren mentioned about strict weight limits, i overheard someone trying to check in a 41KG suitcase yesterday and were quite happily shouting across the terminal about how the check in agent was doing them wrong, which to be quite honest is ridicilous, needless to say they were not allowed to take it until it was below 30KG (apart from they actually were

because they argued that it was one case for a family of 4.)

Also problem with Your Seat Your Choice not being available overseas is a problem with the handling agents and not actually with TC who do send all of the details across its whether the handling agent at the destination is using it.

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

hi, am flying glasgow to faro on july 24th on flight tcx 971k and returning 1 week later on tcx971k. I heard this would be on aurela planes and feel very nervous about this. Should I be concerned?

"Thanks for the quick response! We've chosen our seats already and it looks like a very quiet flight - so hopefully lots of space!" Wouldn't bet on that; only shows those that have selected seats.

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

Hi, could anyone tell me if TCX035K/L goes via Glasgow?
We go on 3 Aug from Mcr but this flight number is also used from Glasgow.

We have our tickets and nothing mentioned re stopping in Glasgow and nothing was mentioned when flights were booked.
I booked TC as it was direct but if it goes via Glasgow thats not direct :duh

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

People often get confused between direct and non-stop. They are different things. Non-stop, as it says, doesn't stop until it reaches its destination.

A direct flight can touch down at another airport to pick up passengers.

OCEANS53,

Welcome onboard :tup

TCX have leased a few aircraft for the summer season. Each of those aircraft are being operated to TCX's high standards so there's no need to worry. There have been a couple of technical delays with the Aurela aircraft, but that's no different than other aircraft in the fleet.

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

Hi Darren,
just trying to keep an eye on my TC flight that I'll be boarding 2 weeks today and according to flight tracker TCX 293 that was scheduled to depart from Cardiff at 8am this morning, is now estimated to depart at 5am tomorrow. This seems like a heck of a delay. Do you have any info on whether this is correct and maybe the reason for the delay please? I know I have 2 weeks to go but am inquisitive. thanks.

shirley h ,

I wouldn't trust the information you've seen. I have the aircraft airborne at 0713 UTC (0813 BST), operated by G-OMYJ.

Hi,

I know that TCX041K (12/10/10) will be operated by an Airbus A330-200 but, is it too early to know the registration no. and whether it's an ex MYT or TC plane?

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

pizzajohn,

It's way too early to know the specific aircraft (registration) operating your flight as they are rotated regularly. Your flight will be operated by a former MYT aircraft though, they are the assigned long haul aircraft for the summer.

Thanks for that Darren,

That means I get to view the bellycam

. You know, in all my travels, I've yet to fly on an airliner with nose and wheel cameras!

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

We are flying BFS - Reus TCX397K & L return. A321 is on the invoice. What are the best seats to prebook to see the drop down tv's? We normally like sitting about 6 rows or so from the back of the plane.

Last time we had drop down tv's on the plane I couldn't see them, too close to one and too far away from the other :rofl

Actually is it even worthwhile pre booking on such a short flight? :think

Thank you

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

jaimec,

There are no best seats really. Screens drop down every 4 rows from the overhead panel, starting over row 1.

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

Hello everyone ! I'm back after a few months ...

Sorry if the matter was already answered but do we know more about the end of Premium on long haul flights for TCX ?

I had a look on the newest brochure and it's not mentioned anywhere ...

I'm thinking ahead for 2012 (2011 is booked for Jan to Cayo Coco but in Eco) and might prefer Thomson in that case ...

Many thanks in advance for your help !

Julmops

Being removed end of Winter 10/11 so no for next summer due to APD tax mainly. If you are looking for 2012 you may wish to consider Thomson as this will be probably the B787 Dreamliner, this may not also have premium depends on APD Tax again.

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

Travelling to Bodrum from Newcastle on 16th August on TCX628 (and back again) - what can I expect in terms of plane and IFE? PSPs and £7.50 each with 28in pitch? Sounds dreadful!

Ta!

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

Many thanks !!

It really is a shame as it was very nice ...

Does TCX plan to enhance their Economy service, like including drinks as well on the long haul flights and will they keep the 33'' seat pitch on their A330 fleet ?
