Hello... I'm flying from Manchester to Bodrum-Milas on 27 May 13. TCX2896. Aircraft outbound is 76W_326 (didn't take much notice of the return.) I believe its a 767 with 2-4-2 config. seat pitch 29", IFE is via over isle screens? Am I correct with this? Just want to manage my kid's (and wife's) expectations as they have had seat back IFE and a bit more seat pitch more recently as a result of travelling transatlantic.

Also at what point are you able to advise what flight the allocated aircraft is on beforehand its a 15:55 departure from MAN so presumably is airborne before this on the same day. Its useful to know so you can check arrivals before departing for the airport. Again its about managing expectations. Any help is appreciated.

It's showing a 767 on TC website. They do have overhead screens for the IFE.

carl m - we were told by TC that we could book our seats travelling to Lanzarote in August as soon as we had our confirmation. We chose ours a couple of weeks ago. Hope this helps.

Massive delays on TCX2658 to Antalya this afternoon. Any idea why? How long a delay till they have to give out vouchers?

We're now told delay is due to aircraft change. Where's the other aircraft?! 8 hours at the airport and they give us £7 each. Absolute shambles

kris1978 There will be an information sheet on the wall of the airport regarding your rights when a flight is delayed. Or ask for one.

Lanzarote isn't Cuba! Seats for Cuba are still 90 days prior at the moment, although that may change.

Realised I'd read the post wrong after I posted, but it might help other travellers.
There was no need for sarcasm

No sarcasm, just pointed out that Cuba isn't Lanzarote, and that at the moment Cuba has different conditions for prebooking extras.

Just booked Man-SFB flights for April 11th. In row 10 ghj seats, but does this row have window? Can't seem to find any info on this, so any help appreciated. TIA

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think row 10 on their A330 does have a window.

Thanks for the help yesterday. Am I correct in thinking the a330 has the downstairs toilet towards the rear of the plane?

The stairs down to the toilets are at row 28, so about 2/3rds the way down.

Thanks Sunaddict

Does this mean much traffic, or restrictions on extra legroom?

Does row 9 have toilets, or this better for extra legroom (centre 3 seats)?

TIA
