Indeed, that's what i thought.
I was told that the ex BMI would be configured 3-3-3 and that is not the configuration for the seatmap of the plane i'm on?
Maybe TC are putting in new seats as it no longer states that there will be "no seatback IFE" in the important information section of the booking advice.

The important information is incomplete which is obvious by looking at it.

Flight: Premium cabin is not available on this flight.

Flight: This flight has 31

That's it. Not even 31 inches :yikes There's nothing about the return flight, and on some properties the important information box is just blank.
Not saying there will or won't be seatback IFE, but I wouldn't read too much into it, just because the important info has changed.


Hi Sunaddict

The important info changed a while back.
I was referring more to the seat map change.
As Dazbo said, originally the ex BMI was due to be configured 3-3-3 which would have meant TC re-configuring and maybe changing the seats.
Now it's 2-4-2, maybe they are leaving the BMI seats in place and these already have seatback IFE?
Don't know for sure.
I'm booked through an agent and they no longer have the " no seatback IFE" information on their screen?

Pass lol! I give up with Thomas Cooks sometimes. Their Customer Relations is getting some stick for never answering phones, and the airline are the same.

They were using it for Cayo Coco as well, but all reference to it has disappeared, and the flights are now showing a premium cabin. I'm sure they know what they're doing :yikes

alboy29,

Are you sure it's not the TCX1242/3 you're travelling on? This fligt is operated by Thomas Cook on one of their Boeing 757-200's. It's the first flight out for that aircraft at 0510. The aircraft comes in this evening, then it night stops for routine maintenance before your flight first thing in the morning.

Have a good holiday :cheers :sun2

Just found out we have been allocated seats on Thomas Cook charter from Manchester to Barbados by P&O to join cruise on 19 Dec 2013, flights No. TCX 254 and return 14 days later on TCX 255, was hoping for Thomson.

Booked premium seats but heard Thomas Cook Premium nothing special. Any thoughts?

Does anyone know if they are planning any improvements to long haul fleet before December 2013.

Thanks

kk70,

Your flights are operated by Airbus A330-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). There's no changes to the aircraft before flights in December.

wxmwayne,

Welcome onboard :tup
I wouldn't say it's normal for TCX to change flights, but they do need to change from time to time for operational reasons, especially in the peak season. Thomson and other airlines need to change odd flights too, it's not exclusive to TCX.

Hi Dazbo, sorry if this has been asked before....I had a trawl back and couldn't find it!

Flying Manchester to Las Vegas again this July, is it the same type of aircraft as last year?

Yaaay for the increased luggage allowance but boooo for the price increase :-)

Hello
I'm flying from bristol to turkey on the 17th july and wondered if anyone knew what aircraft I would be flying on, I'm not sure if I seen on the tickets that it was a A320??? confused because my brother has just flown to turkey on a 757 aircraft?

joannew,

Welcome onboard :tup
Please quote flight numbers and destination when requesting aircraft information. There are often several flights and there are several airports in Turkey. This ensure we get the correct informating for you. BRS-DLM-BRS (TCX7518/9?) are operated by Airbus A320-200. Different flight (numbers) and dates have different aircraft. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Flying from Newcastle to Lanzarote in August, flight no. is TCX6018/9.
Would you happen to know where the plane is coming in from, or are we on the first flight of the day? Think we are due to leave at 7am.
Also, we have pre-booked row 12, paying extra for one extra legroom seat. Is there a window as well?
Reply
sheeshon,

Your flight is the first of the day. The aircraft comes in the evening before and night stops. Row 12 has a partial view out of a window.
