Hi all

Will the gla-bjv route be opperated next year by tcx as its currently not on sale?
getting reports it will by travel agents but some say no.

Our flight out on monday was 224/233 on G-WJAN GLA-BJV
Where they swaped G-WJAN for G-TCBB IN BJV.

you said a few posts back that thomas cook made you an ambassador for them.
i have a question.
all the posts you post are spotters questions that if thomas cook did as you said, you can get imformation from them, and a lot more sensative information than you can get on here. so whats the deal asking these questions,and also on this forum,as they should be asked in the spotters forum.

I believe he meant a self appointed ambassador.

I believe the Ambassador reference is possibly alluding to a person visiting travel agents to promote Thomas Cook as a company. They may not be employed directly by Thomas Cook but by a third-party and conduct product training and trade campaigning.

Spotters or not, these are not really the updated rumour posts I want to be reading in the TCX thread ie about what planned rego swap happens downwind.

Thank god it's not just me thinking this :ugh:

This thread has just descended into someone's personal, possibly school project and risks (hopefully) getting shut down if it doesn't move on and quick.

Mods can you have a word please :ok:

Has somebody got a list of the routes the Condor 757-300 is flying from Man this summer, flew back last night on ABOA and I have to say what a smart looking interior and very clean, couldn't fault the flights.

Given the current publicity surrounding Thomas Cook, they may soon need all the help they can get.

Hi folks
My message was route relatedand i have been in contact with the.product teams within and outside the airline
No one is willing to comment on the popular route which generated income alot in fact and just wondered if anyone else knew anything as customers have been asking this quedtion


I am in resort in bodrum area and no news out here at the office.

A holiday rep/spotter! Awesome.

Scandic
Aircraft change almost daily as aircraft change over at destination usually
with an aircraft from Frankfurt

Think he meant what routes are Condor doing from MAN on the 753 ?

Speaking of Condor anyone know why A321 D-AIAG Got delivered to Manchester direct from XFW ?

Air Tanker/TCX
 

Flew MAN/CUN recently on the recently introduced air tanker A330. What a retrograde step this aircraft is, seat pitch is good at 35inch but the material is very hard grade cloth. No seat back IFE system just three wall mounted small flat panel screens on forward bulkhead and six drop down screens for the rest of the cabin. From our seats on row thirteen our nearest watchable screen was fifteen feet away. Row one six and seven have a toilet door very close to them (premium seats) TCX management need to look closely at thompsons 787s. The crew who were all Scottish were excellent and the meals were much improved over last year. James Martin now overseeing the cuisine. Cheers Sam

Air Tanker Jobbie
 

This particular A330 is part of Air Tankers surge fleet, which means it comes in basic military format, and is leased to TC with the agreement of the RAF. In a national emergency it can be recalled `to the colours` as it were, to be used as part of a troop airlift. I would imagine the lease rates are much cheaper for TC and as its a new aircraft it should be reliable..

Maybe best to avoid this one though if you are going long haul on holidays..Its basically a squaddie carrier

Christoph Debus has said the Air Tanker is being taken out of service in the next couple of months to be completely refurbed to the standards they requested ie the same as the rest of the A330s. 31" pitch and seatback IFE. It will remain all economy as originally planned.

Air tanker/TCX
 

That's good to know its getting an upgrade, 10:30 flying time outbound and 9:20 on the inbound leg were the most uncomfortable I have done for a long time. I believe they are leasing a second one next year. Cheers sam

Seems peculiarly strange to take an aircraft out of service, in the peak season,to refurb it, especially when it has just been delivered from Airbus..still you never know with TCX these days do you?

TCCB back from Abu Dhabi to Man then straight out to Dalaman, has it been for maintenance plus paint job?

Just maintenance. The B763's aren't getting the new paint scheme anytime soon if at all

TCX848
 

TCX 848 heading from Manchester to New York has returned to Manchester after heading out over the Atlantic. Didn't declare emergency and made a safe landing. Doesn't appear to be anything too major as you'd have thought they'd have diverted to Shannon, but does anyone know what happened?

TCX1603
 

Diverted from Gatwick to Stansted...anyone know why?

Declared emergency, ran too low on fuel whilst holding for LGW so diverted to STN

G-TCDY
 

Hi as this gone in for Maintenance as was Stansted based and my friend were booked to go out to Antalya on a A321 but got Bonus 767 Titan instead

G-TCDY
 

Hi G-TCDY is back now STN based

No it's not.
No TCX aeroplanes are 'based' at any specific airport.
It may be there for a short while or an extended period, but it certainly isn't based anywhere.

Im sure that was what was meant, and is what is familiar to most of us. The same tends to apply to TOM etc

Once again this thread descends into another 'Spotters Forum' :ugh:

from our point of veiw at glasgowtcx is that well at gla we have our 3 x G-TCBB,LI and AN BASED 752's

Other than Spotters who is actually interested in the registration of the based Aircraft ?

Quite so. Time to send this to the spotters forum

Not flown TC before so wanted to ask if you can pre book seats on their flights from Gatwick to Gran Canaria?

Plenty of time, we don't go until March next year but I forgot to ask the Travel Agent if this is possible or not.

MTIA for any answers.:)

Just go onto the airlines website where there is plenty of info.

reserved seating
 

We offer this on all of our flights
We also have a bundle deal for customers 3 extras for the price of two e.gseats together and extra 5kg and meal free

Hope it helps
Www.thomascookairlines.co.uk

To a base registrations matter as all aircraft have different load limits , different seat config like WJAN as it has a row 1 a,b,c and other 75's dont in the tc fleet it also has no row 30 A,b,c and carries 2 less seats.

different take off weights BB has 108T limit and WJAN has 115T limit,
Plus for flight deck the ex chinese 757's have different fma's than the others
Also important for aircraft swaps ,maint,

Not quite. The offer is prebooked seats, 20kg luggage (not an extra 5kg) and a meals is free (not on longhaul).

Janey TA - I was refering to package holidays in my example as its standard 15 KG and the 3 for 2 offers an extra 5 to make it 20
but on flight only its pre- booked seats and 20 kg and meals as 20 kg is the flight only minimum.

I don`t care how good the inclusive package is, until they improve the absolutely awful and unacceptable leg room on short haul, they won`t be getting any business from me...worse flights I`ve ever had

alasdair, as you posted that on an airline forum, perhaps for the sake of clarity you should have said that then, as it isn't something the airline offer. It's offered by the TO/TA and doesn't apply to all packages that they sell.


Congratulations! Ambassador to employee :rolleyes:

im sure that was a quote from said website (albeit poorly formatted) rather than a vetbatim phrase.
