Paste the mail LiamNCL I hope its not a pick up at say BHX like a few summers ago! Im coming back on it 7th Oct.

[LiamNCL]

I will get a hold of it off my sister she has the mail , I tweeted TCX and they say due to disruption of the fleet it has had a nock on effect but hasnt answered why this will take an extra hour ! I have also tried a dummy booking a week after i fly and those seats are still restricted on the A321 so a fuel stop doesnt make sense

[LiamNCL]

Ive got the email , The info is in an attatchment so i have cut the time change bit as a picture.

But the flight back takes 1hr less??

[anthbower1234]

Ive just checked my last booking for May same flight and a week prior got a letter saying they had changed my flight! On checking everything the same turned out it was seating plan as based on 220 seats not 215 DF/DD ( I did have to tell the women on the phone TBH! #geek I wouldnt worry. Im on same flight out as you LiamNCL and trust me flight was awesome both ways

[LiamNCL]

I have done a dummy booking for the end of July and the new times apply so i dont think anything at all changes , Im on the flight a week after the booking is in my sisters name so you will be on their flight to SSH lol , Im on the return flight 8th of october though

TCX at NCL

Pleased you got your times sorted. Just a couple of points, the two based 321s at NCL currently (DD&DF) have I believe 220 seats as have all the TCX 321s. Apparently the original 215 seat configurations for the new aircraft was changed. Perhaps someone could confirm this.
Also are the blocked out seats on the seat map not for seats being used by another Tour operator as opposed to capacity restrictions. The last few rows seem to be blocked off on most other flights.

[LiamNCL]

Its DC & DF now , Aircraft swap last night down in HER , I dunno maybe someone whos been on a SSH fligth from NCL could confirm the amount of empty rows at the back ? Im sure the NCL-SSH flight is restricted though

According to the caa g-info max carried 215on tcx's new a321' DB-DF

TCX 321s

Was on TCX6025 TFS-NCL last Friday, G-TCDD. 215 pax on board, 5 empty seats.

Seating plan had back few rows blocked off but all occupied.

[LiamNCL]

I wasnt aware seats were greyed out on other flights too

[anthbower1234]

On TCX 6536 May gents no seats blocked at back however on speaking to the crew 186 on board and spread out on the aircraft to distribute weight. On rtn leg most seat rows had a spare seat which was class!

I know this is probably a long shot but does anybody know if summer 2015's aircraft will be a based TCX A321 or a leased A320? Thanks.

From another forum post, it appears that next summer Condor will base 2 757-300 for TCX flights out of Manchester and the 767-300's will leave the TCX fleet to go to Condor permanantly from the end of Summer 2014. Will operate out of Frankfurt over the winter but will return to Manchester for Summer 2015 as per other posts but will remain in Condor colours and will operate as Condor flights like the 2 757-300 with the DE code. So in essence will not be TCX aircraft. Unsure of what will happen regarding registrations whether they will remain G- registered of will become D- registered.

[Funderblaster]

The 767's will be TCX Aircraft. It doesn't matter what it says on the side. They will be flown by TCX pilots which means they will remain on the TCX AOC and remain on the G reg.
The TCX pilots can't fly the Condor aircraft even though they are type rated and vice versa.
They have independent AOC's which prevents sharing crews (for now)

[EK77WNCL]

They should give NCL some of the German hospitality and rotate a 753 through once in a while

Also More news on the TCX Fleet:
4 757's are to leave the fleet this winter. G-JMCD and G-JMCE are two of them, other two TBC.

The 757's will be replaced by 4x A321 from Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia as follows:

OY-VKT will become G-TCDV
OY-VKB will become G-TCDW
OY-VKE will become G-TCDX
OY-VKA will become G-TCDY

Four new A321's will then go to Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia.

Not sure when this change will happen but I assume it will be around March/April of next year
