Code:
Could I just ask, who do TCX code share with at the JFK end to allow onwards there?
A quick dummy booking on the Condor site Manchester- Minneapolis offers Sun Country toward connections.
The MT (Thomas Cook) sites also show the same with the code shard DE flight number !
The Condor codes show up in many booking engines and the consolidators however the Thomas Cook code doesn't.
Would expect some of the connectors were to Germany and some domestic.
The domestics offer Flybe services to/from Manchester (not a code share but interline) and the German services using Lufthansa group.
Likewise want to go to Anchorage Thomas Cook will sell you via Frankfurt and onto Condor.
Really believe ALL the group long haul schedules should be sold under the Condor brand irrespective of UK/German origin.
The Thomas Cook brand used only for UK short haul and mainly inclusive tour flights
As per the 753 both brands can be displayed anyway.
The simplified common brand with Condor codes already showing on the major booking engines would very much increase presence and awareness of the offers.
BTW much if not all the back office of the UK and German operation are close to unified .
