Hi Guys,

Just another question, does anyone know what headphones TC use, are they split/do you have to pay for them on a/c or can you get them highstreet? Flew TC last year to Kefalonia and we could use our own but not sure about long haul as last went with First Choice 08 to Florida. We are going on TCX092K/L 23/07/10 to Sanford. This IFE is becoming a pain in the proverbial!!

Cheers guys

lattridge,

If you have bags to check-in, online check-in probably won't be much of a time saver for you so I wouldn't worry too much if you can't gain access. I know there have been a few issues with logging in to the various TCX sites, eg API and seat selection so maybe it's another glitch?

Sunaddict,

I was told it's subject to demand. If interest is high, they'll consider keeping them but at present, the decision is from May 2011, they'll be removed.

OY-VKF has the same configuration as the short haul TCX aircraft. OY-VKI is all economy although the seats in the front cabin have a couple of extra inches of seat pitch than the other cabins. This aircraft doesn't have seat back IFE.

we were informed about the change of aircraft about 3-4 weeks before we flew, never again with thomas cook the only reason we went with them was the hotel we wanted to stay at is no longer used by first choice you live and learn, that poor women at the check in, i passed on all our information to watch dog because i believe we paid for servces that were not forth coming from thomas cook we were the first to choose our seats about 12 weeks before we flew my seat did not even exist

Hi dazbo

Got the tickets yesterday from TC and they said that the GLA-DLM (TCX165K) on 9th July was to be operated by a 757-300!
Is this info correct or just a typo because i didn't think that TC ran 753's out of Glasgow anymore? But i might be wrong.

Many thanks

The information is correct. Both of the 753's were on the apron in GLA the other day. LGW have A330's doing mid haul work out of LGW, freeing the 753's on some flights. Turkey is very popular this year, probably due to the euro and Turkey being a great and less expensive place to holiday, hence the increase in capacity and the use of the 753's. The 753's aren't much different than the 752's from a passengers perspective, they've just very long!

By the way Darren is the seat pitch better or worse on the 753's than the 752's

Hey everyone :wave: Can anyone tell me anything about flight TCX44K from Belfast Intl to Sanford on Thurs 24th June?(TCX44L return on 8th July.)
I know that it's definitely an A330, but would like to know if the plane will have seat-back tvs instead of aisle tvs? I thought until today that all A330's would have the seat-backs but someone was saying that it might be an older plane and therefore not have.
I'm praying that there is, as 9 hours is long enough without no good IFE.... I might need to buy every magazine in the newsagents to pass the time...
Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Unless you have been advised otherwise by Thomas Cook, your flights are operated by the long haul Airbus A330-200. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi all

I thought that your seat your choice was starting at £12 each and then £6 extra each per flight if you booked more than 7 days before your holiday.

I assumed that once it went down to 7 days and less it would go back to starting at £12 each return to book seats.

Have I got this right?

As we fly next Monday but when I logged on this morning to book seats it's still showing as totalling £50 odd. It's charging me £13 per person per flight.

Can anyone help?

I was going to book if it was just £13 each return but if it's still over £50 I think that's a rip off and not prepared to pay that much.

Thanks
