Fair enough, the stats don't lie. My opinion, on the loads, was based when I used AA MAN-JFK, early last month when on staff travel. Business class was empty.
Nothing will change my opinion that JFK will be an unsuccessful new route but that will be proved/disproved soon. Money and frequency talks!

Hi just wondering does anyone know best seats for legroom on 757-200? Travel agent tells me front row has more legroom, its cheaper than exit seats - could anyone recommend? I appreciate I would have the toilet queue by my side!

I used to be Crew on this A/C type. Row 1 DEF & Row 2 ABC are Bulkhead yes (Row 1 ABC is a Toilet). You would get a little more room but its a slightly cramped/awkward area as all the Wheelchair Pax tend to get Seated In or around these Rows and also the O/H Lockers above are full to the brim of Safety & Catering equipment. Plus as you state the Toilet queue. On a TCX 752 the legroom really is not the best so if your on a flight of say 4 hours its defo worth paying for the Exit Seats at Row 11 or 31. Believe me for a Medium sector its worth every penny and a much more relaxing journey!

TCX to operate long-haul routes from STN in S15
Looks like Thomas Cook will be operating a long-haul network from Stansted from mid July until end of August 2015.
New routes are from Stansted to...
Cancun, Mexico - Sat
Las Vegas, USA - Mon
Orlando Intl, USA - Fri, Sun
Flights and Holidays for these services are already on sale!
Is very early days so fingers crossed this will eventually happen. Fantastic news for Stansted in particular as would be their first long-haul routes since Air Asia X pulled out.

From end of July through Mid August the route is switched to operate from Stansted and to cover the English School holiday period 20th July to 17th August.
Subsequently the flight returns to Glasgow until season ends in October.

Won't they be needing extra aircraft to operate the new routes from STN, MAN & GLA or can they utilise the current fleet?
And some internal consolidation.
The TCX long haul fleet will consist of 5 no A332 frames (including 1 from Scandinavia) -same as this year plus the 3 763 frames plus a number of Condor 753s.
A planned Condor 763 will be used from Manchester to Tobago on weekly basis.
I expect the bases to be
Manchester - 4
Gatwick/Glasgow/Stansted - 1 shared probably the Scandinavia plane.
Gatwick will be the net looser with few flights per week.
