The Thomas Cook Airlines flying program is geared totally towards their parent company Thomas Cook Holidays in the same way as TUI and Thomson Holidays and are both charter airlines, Thomas Cook Holidays arrange the accommodation and their in house airline Thomas Cook Airlines provides the flights (even if it's third party flying). This is classic inclusive tours as the full holiday package with accommodation and charter flights.

Several scheduled airlines including EasyJet and Ryanair provide accommodation but it's generally booked separately via a hotel booking engine and not an inclusive tour package as you would get with Thomas Cook Holidays.

The way that Thomas Cook Airlines works is to take passengers booked on package Holidays to their destinations which may vary every year.

Although Thomas Cook Airlines have opened up a base at Manchester serving transatlantic destinations these may be scheduled in a similar way to Condor operation in Germany but at the end of the day beside the fact that they fly to the likes of Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, etc from Manchester on a scheduled basis they are still very much a charter airline.
