TCX trans-atlantic B757s

This summer TCX will be using a B752 to go across the pond, any ideas if these will have PTVs? Or if not, what kind of IFE will they have? I am going on one on my return YYZ-MAN

Cheers

As far as I am aware they have two 757's reconfiged to around 187 pax with one a/c each at MAN and GLA flying the canadian flights on behalf of Canadian Affair. The aircraft are to be FCLJ and K I think because they are ETOPS equiped and heavyweight aircraft. I do not think the IFE is being changed at all for these services but I stand to be corrected, certainly the newer 757's in the TCX fleet have the drop down LCD monitors much the same as the 320's. Hope this helps

Hi,
The a/c are fitted with leather seats and increased leg room and pitch aswell.

Thanks

Yes around 50 less seats with a 35" seat pitch although I am not sure if this is just the front section or the entire aircraft

Entire a/c is 35 inch pitch leather seats. Standard IFE i believe though.

6 rotations a week from LGW, 2 from BHX and the other 6 from MAN / GLA.
