Thanks for that are they 753 or 752 would love the 753's back

Just flew TCX from Man-Alc return.Outbound offered extra legroom seats for £5 each at check in.No brainer took their offer,no problems.It was a 757 300 on way out,row 25 loads of room.
Coming home this last Saturday given row 25 again but it was a 757 200 and got bog standard seat.I will never fly TCX cattle class again,people struggled to get out of their seats to go to loo due to awful legroom,what would happen in an emergency?.

GLA will be 752 currently.

Anyone know what CWL is planning to be next year? A320 leased again or A321?

LBALAD - what would happen in an emergency...!?


PAX would evacuate in the 90 second limit that the aircraft is certified for with that amount of legroom


Blame the manufacturers and CAA/FAA etc....


the airline are only working within the legal limits

While I don't agree with some of the negative comments about TCX, legroom I do - I've booked extra legroom on my 757-200 flight because 4hrs like that is dreadful. I never find the A320's anywhere near so bad.
Does anyone know what aircraft have had cabin refits and whats been done? I did hear all the 757's had been done now???

TCX
 

I dont really find the TCX Legroom an issue on a 2Hour flight to Spain etc but yes for anything over that like Canaries or Turkey i would agree its worth paying for XRM. I dont think its really that much of a difference to EZY or FR.

Hi Guys


can anyone be kind enough to tell me if on the older A321, does row 12 seat F have a full size window.




Cheers

Has Thomascook finished issueing its 2015 programme just noticed that it has not included its Antalya flight from Bfs or are they going to operate it with a turkish carrier strange it always was very popular.

Wednesday AM slot is still free so maybe that is earmarked for Antalya
Check BFS thread

Antalya, Enfidha and Mahon are all not on sale for TCX, but TCX seems to be using Jet2 for Mahon next year.:)

The new MAN-JFK flights seem to be selling well in the 24 hours since they started, judging by how quickly the cheapest fares in May/June have disappeared. Still some left, but not in the Thurs/Mon combination I was considering :{ Miami also looks to be doing OK, but not going quite as fast.

Hopefully it bodes well for a successful operation.

Yes I was talking to somebody from tcx yesterday and they said New York is doing very well

Ian

G-TCDF arrived this evening as TCX6114

When will thomas cooks full 2015 be on sale as at a hotel and spoke with them and comfirmed thomas cook and hotels4u for next year but thomas cook still not selling it as yet

TCX BHX-RHO
 

Evening.

Were flying out next week from BHX - RHO
Would i be right in thinking the AC would be 757-200/300?
Would the AC have inflight entertainment?

Thanks
Craig

BHX has x3 based 757-200s. In flight entertainment is based on overhead monitors or the old fashioned TV monitor over the aisle depending on which aircraft you end up on.

Good look trying to see anything on a FCL model ! Old fashioned TV in the isle

Thanks for replies.

Makes things easier to keep the younger ones happy.

Flew out from BHX - BJL The Gambia with TCX early last year on an old Air China AC in Thomas Cook livery with no IFE.

That would of been TCBB or TCBC (Egypt coral reef livery) I think they have no IFE

When is DZ due?

It arrived at Manchester on the 14th May from Sofia I believe :ok:

Didn`t think it had arrived in Manchester yet but may be wrong, G-TCDF and G have arrived

Ian

Yeh Ian you might be right, just heard from a few people it came in on Wednesday

tcx glasgow
 

spoke with the captain and first officer on.my flight from glasgow and they think A321's will be based next summer can anyone confirm?

With another 2 A321s due next year , I would be suprised if GLA or BHX wernt the next base to go A321 like NCL

TCX @ BHX
 

According to colleagues TCX will be an A321 operation from this coming winter.
However nobody seems to know how many aircraft this will involve.The winter ops that have just finished saw a single 752 based.This summer sees 3 752s based.A 321s have been used on a number of weekly flights,I think to Enfidha,but not 100% sure on that.:ok:

I think BHX will be all A321s by next summer , GLA might get one more year as a 757 base but I wouldnt be suprised if GLA went A321 too and that just left MAN and LGW with them for extra capacity.

Thanks folks for that i would love the a321 at gla but capacity is high at gla so 753 was used for 3/4years all full so either 753 or 4a321s

GLA getting a based A330 next summer alongside the narrowbodies

Hopefully more capacity on turkey as seems a top seller

Has G-TCDZ been delivered yet? :)

I think G-TCDZ as just landed at MAN as TCX761P from Sofia (SOF) :)

Does tcdz have 220 seats or 215?

Also are any wfu dates for the 757's and delivery dates for rhe next a321deliveries?

abysmal treatment at bristol
 

Flight to Zante overbooked by 62 people today. Or smaller plane used. Or crew gone sick, depending on which lie you believe . Due to fly at 1300, still not gone yet.
Customer service the pits.

Have to say after my TCX experience I would be in no hurry going with them again

62 seems an awful lot - either booked to a A321 and a A320 is operating or there has been a big error somewhere

Looks like BRS-ZTH was operated today by a 148 seat, B733 (LY-SPE) of Small Planet Airlines instead of a 215 or 220 seat A321. If you were told a smaller plane was used, that was the truth.

Queued for hour at check in, as flight getting closer they told us to go to desk 44, which was closed. Promised several times it would open soon. Eventually told us smaller plane used, but no reason why. Bussed us to Gatwick, driver said he was called at 8
Why make us q for an hour knowing we weren't going. Oh, and then all the TCX staff disappeared.
Nobody around at all, left to a policeman to tell us where to go
Told we would fly at 11, then 1.40, now it's 2.55

BRS/LGW-ZTH
 

Must be waiting for the B753 G-JMAB to land from NBE. Aircraft Swap to accomm the BRS overspill Pax. Hence the 3 Hour Delay.

As for the inbound Pax ZTH-BRS, they are planned to arrive back @ 13:00 by Road from LGW.
