I recall travelling on a Caledonian L1011 that had the central luggage bins removed throughout the aircraft. Gave a tremendous spacious feeling but nowhere to store bags.

Summer 2010 is not on sale and wont be for a about another month at least.
TCUK and TUI travel are holding back the launch of Summer 2010 with th exception of the longhaul flying ie CUN, POP, SFB, LAS etc.

a delay of that length is usually not as bad as it sounds....crews go out of hours and then need 10hrs hotel before opertaing again....

it could be a 3 or 4 hr delay (bad enough!)

MA has a hole in the side thanks to the guy driving the steps up to the rear door forgetting to stop in time. Flight is being covered by Astreus and pax being wined and dined in a local hotel while they wait for the replacement aircraft.

Are you referring to -YA? I'm pretty sure we don't have a -MA.

TCX 757-300 at MAN/ LBA Aircraft 320 or MAN 330

Hi

Anyone know what routes Thomas Cook are using the 757-300 on this summer (roughly september time) - i know types can change just wondering if there are specific routes from Manchester it goes for the summer season.

Also is the A320 based at Leeds Bradford a particular plane or does it always change. Heard they are a bit of a mess inside???

Also on the off chance anyone know if either Thomas Cook or Monarch use the A330's on short haul routes on a regular basis - from Manchester also.

Cheers for any help

Both TCX 753's are based at LGW for S09, so no routes will be 753 operated from MAN.

Thomas Cook use their 767 on European/Egypt flights over the summer and I think Monarch will do the same on some flights.

The A330s usually will come in from the Caribbean in the morning and sometimes, instead of sitting on the tarmac all day waiting for a flight out to Male, they may be put on a return leg to PMI or AGP etc. I think Thomson do this quite often...

You won't be just limited to the above, MAN has the following a/c based for S09: 2x A320, 2x A321, 4x B752, 2x B763 and 3x A332 - it will of course depend where you are travelling to.

Monarch to use the A330 from MAN on the following Shorthaul flights.
LXR on Mondays, LCA & KGS on Wednesdays, SSH on Thursdays & Sundays.
The B767 to ACE on Thursdays & SSH on Saturdays.
The B767 operates more flights out of LGW this summer than MAN.

The current based A320 at LBA is G-BYTH, and certainly isn't a mess inside.

oh not hoping for 767 at all (unless its a thomson one), not been on since the monarch one which was a mess, think its ex airtours/mytravel isnt it, and from memory TCX didnt operate them before they merged with MYT so if its another ex Myt one then i'd rather go on somethin else

So MON do 330 on wed from manc to LCA interesting, is this all through summer then?

Also G-BYTH is ex mytravel too, have thomas cook refitted them or did it just get new paint. Never had good luck with flying on MYT always got the DC10 and was never that impressed.

I'd try and get on a Thomson 767 but would be gutted if it wasn't the longhaul config ones or the FCA ones. Don't they have 767 specifically with a short haul config - the ones that had the world of tui scheme but then got updated too. Mind you still better then an MYT one lol

Anyone know exactly where these are flying this summer?

I can find out what routes from MAN the A330 and the B187 are scheduled to operate this summer, but you will need to give me till monday.

I know that the Sunday Dalaman from Glasgow is the A330 if that helps.
