Any news on the strike today?? I am due to fly with TCX on 16th December from BHX!!!

No news at the moment but I'm sure we will arrange the likes
Of Titan or Astreaus to operate the flights if the strike goes ahead

The ballot of cabin crew was not a ballot for industrial action, it was a ballot to gauge opinion if there were to be a ballot for industrial action, sort of 'let's find out how much support the negotiating team have.' It is a long way from action.

Does anyone know if TC will be using Mint and Astraeus for Summer 2012?

Dog on TCX flight
 

The A330 due to operate TCX125 LAS-MAN on Wednesday, does it operate any other sectors or does it operate as a positioning flight empty from the UK ?

Probably a Cruise flight. Def not on the published summer schedule at present.

The date mentioned is 2013, so would the time tables be out for 2013 yet?

ah, didn't spot that, one of his little jokes then.:mad:

TCX 3416 Flight times
 

Flying TCX3416 (I think) Gla-Tfs Sunday 13th Nov. recieved my tickets adout 3 weeks ago stating 0930hrs take off but just completed the online boarding pass and its stating the flight takes off at 0700hrs. Anyone have any clue what is the correct flight time

It's definitely an 0930 departure on the 757-300. TC are really bad at conflicting timing information and getting utc/local time variances wrong on passenger ticketing and confirmations though - similar confusion has arisen on both occasions when I've flown with them in the last couple of years. If it's bad for people who understand a bit about aviation and scheduling, the average punter doesn't stand a chance!

I to have heard this rumour regarding SFB flight in 2013, although I was told it would be a one off flight

Always go by your tickets. The system that we use for seating and online check-in dosen't always have the most up to date times. Your boarding passes are fine to use, as long as your name and flight number is correct. Hopefully when the new system is in place, this should iron out the problem.

Thanks guys.
One other question are you allowed to take a camera in your hand luggage??

Yes you are allowed to take a camera in your hand baggage. Dont worry about your boarding pass, just checked the TCX system and its deffintly your ticket time of dep.

Point to Point??
 

I`m led to believe that TCX are point to point like Ryanair or EZY..Just that due to a very unfortunate event one of our party is flying out next Saturday instead of Friday with the rest of us, that he was originally booked on . We are all returning together on the following Friday as planned. FlyThomasCook, when you eventually get through to them, say just tell them whats happened at check in so they wont cancel the return....They seem to possess more faith in the Check in system than I do...

Any views..ta

It currently says on their website:
Just also checked with TCX ground staff at BFS, the passenger thats travelling out a day later need to show himself at checkin with his documents in order for them not to cancel his return to the uk. Otherwise pop into the TCX/Handling Agent a day or two before hand.

FlyThomascook should put a note on the booking to say they are not using one of the sectors which will prevent the booking from being cancelled, not that I'm aware of us automatically cancelling any bookings nowadays, as well as reconfirming your flight, which is no longer needed.

Point to Point
 

Thanks for the above info guys, very much appreciated...As a result I have just rung TCX again, no waiting this time, and they have put a note on the file so the return will not be cancelled....Thanks :ok:

They said they are reducing the longhaul fleet.
