Summer 2018
Thomas Cook Airlines UK - 17 new routes, seven new own-brand hotels for Summer 2018 on sale
Spoof or real? From the Thomas Cook website but the wording is really unusual and I am sure they know what they are on about but I don't.
There is a bizarre list of new routes and then miss the best addition for BHX - Thessaloniki, which is actually mentioned in the text later on. Tell me I am seeing things and they haven't listed "Arecife" as a new BHX destination? I suppose it could be classed as new as for the last 40 years flights have gone to Arrecife - is this an alternative spelling?
I was going to say is it work experience week at TC HQ but that would be an insult to the work experience kids.

Very strange those routes are as you say nothing new at all in most cases.
Apparently TC prices are up 9% and a better type of Hotel.
Only time will tell if the ploy works I suspect the guys n girls at Jet2 and Thomson will be watching

BHX

Well if two is more than 2 then yes but I trust it is a case the press release has beaten the IT team responsible for the booking engine.
I suppose all will be revealed in a few weeks. At a glance it seems a couple of Palma flights replaced by GRO and SKG (apparently it is in the system), Naples has gone back to Thomson but HRG has doubled.
No sign of Preveza in the holiday section.
At least they didn't issue a press release like they did for 2017 with BHX announcing a 5th based aircraft only for it to quietly be swept under the carpet.

But I think the question is, with no apparent reduction in long haul flying from S17 to S18, if both air Tankers are not with TCX then they will need 2 more A330 for the S18 flying programme.
That then begs the question, will the Air Tanker lease be extended? 2 'new' A330 for TCX? Another leased aircraft?

I suspect they will extend the lease on G-VYGK until they decide on a group wide (MT/DE/DK/HQ) order, I think this has been pushed back to 2019.
Some of the Condor 767's are 20+ years old and the ex MYT A330's of MT/DK are nearing 18 years old, so a fleet renewal will be on the cards in the not to distant future.

The forth aircraft to be operated in the UK will remain fully German registered and crewed.

Does anybody know why one of their A330's has been sitting out in Amman for a couple of weeks now?
G-TCXB positioned LGW-AMM in early April and doesn't seem to have operated any flights since. Seems a bit strange as its been half-term holidays here in the UK and as we start to approach the summer season they seem to be one aircraft down?

Hi
Can someone tell me when the Manchester-Antigua season runs from/to for W18. Does it run into April/May 18?
Also does the aircraft used have a premium cabin?
I should also say I've tried looking on the TCX website for the answers but it's not clear.
Thanks in advance.
