JAMIE2k9, thanks for pointing out the accuracy of my statement. TCX are not regular visitors to DUB at present, but since we never know from one year to the next where an a/c may operate, if we see a TCX a/c in DUB next summer, no-one in the airline would be surprised, particularly if DUB is a growth market and the UK is struggling. The MINT AIR/AURELA 75's you allude to are in NCL this year, two of them were in LGW last year, next year, who knows. They do, however, work using TCX callsigns and flight numbers (unlike MON et al.) and cabin crew.
The DUB nightstop a few years back, was a welcome break from the general monotony of summer flying. Lets hope to see it again.

My apologies if this has been coveted but I read on another site (that I do trust but still would like to double check) that from November tcx will be changing the seat pitch on their 3 remaining A330 to 29". Is this true?

AFAIK it's not all of them. A 767 is being used on long haul which is causing a few problems for pax who have booked C cabin inbound, and I think at least one A330 is 29in seat pitch, which is already used on long haul.

Are the two 757-300s still moving down to LGW in August? What flights are they doing? I remember reading somewhere that we will be getting them in BOH on the DLM and/or AYT W-flights, is this true?

or this?

I am sure I read it as MAN-HER on another forum but as it was JMAA
it had to GLA I suppose. Spotted on flightradar24 with emergency squawk
on at the time I believe.

Is the 767 on long haul a short term replacement or is it a potential problem for the rest of the season? I would not want to book a long haul (Canada) in October to find no premium cabin available!

I think the 763 is on shorthaul for summer mostly PMI and DLM and is operating our longhaul in the winter. Canadian Affair is on the 757 in the summer and 3 A330's are going to TS in the winter.

Not sure where your info comes from Sunny...No Canadian affair on the 757 this summer...the contract finished ! And the 767 ain't doing the long haul this winter..2 or 3 330's in Uk !

Anyone know what has happened with TCX1265 (LGW-HER) this evening? Got a text from my sister who was onboard saying they had to stop at 'some random Greek airport to help fix another aircraft', and the return is now expected an hour and a half late.
