Was not aware that Thomas Cook had a tie-up with Air Transat. Thank you for the information.

I'm trying to find out what season they operate the LGW-CPT? It started as 2 or 3 rotations a week but when they say 'seasonal', I'm not sure if they mean Northern Winter or Northern Summer?

Thanks.

FFHKG 19th Nov 2018 19:01

Try looking on their web site and put in a dummy booking!

Rutan16 19th Nov 2018 19:33

Simple January to March Northern Winter period.

FFHKG 20th Nov 2018 08:10

Tried a couple of dummy bookings LON to CPT and BA proved to be cheaper on several dates, with a price that included meals and luggage

TCDW Currently on way from MAN to Montreal

PAXboy 21st Nov 2018 22:07

Thanks folks. When I tried putting in dummy dates, it always returned bookings via Germany with Condor - which was a kind of answer but it's a redious way to find out when they do start the route.

FFHKG 22nd Nov 2018 09:28

The Thos Cook web site shows clearly which dates LGW>CPT operates..... it highlights the days with a little yellow aeroplane! Nothing could be simpler!

Sky News: Thomas Cook profit warning Link

If we are to believe methorolgists that our UK summer's are set to become dryer and warmer, and if good weather becomes more consistent then for some airlines this will threaten their business models. Of course, a boom for domestic UK tourism as increasing number of us defer foreign travel in the hope of hot British summer's.

TCA may very well be in more trouble than Flybe.

shamrock7seal 27th Nov 2018 09:14

Not sure about that since they are still profitable. They are expecting 210m odd profit for the year versus Flybe's losses. However, the profit warnings and the share price/marketing capitalisation falls are concerning and show an inability to prevent negative perceptions of the business.

Planned growth of EZY Holidays could also have a serious impact going forward for both TC and TUI!

Right - I'll bite - given your troll-like post...and given that TCA is in profit (read the press release) what actual evidence do you have to support your intentionally mischievious statement?
Suggest you put up or shut up...or better still apologize for the un-necessary alarm you may have caused amongst the many good people that work there only a month before xmas..

Sharklet_321 28th Nov 2018 01:18

All names taken:

Firstly the staff would have been kept fully informed of the financial performance of the business ahead of anything being released to the stock exchange/media. They already know that bonuses will be much reduced this year (or nil) as a result. If not thats a whole other story.

Secondly, the very public 'alarm' was raised by Thomas Cook themselves (not my post!) with a 2nd profit warning. The share price is also public knowledge and has fallen over 70%. Similar falls to Flybe (between 70-90%).

Let's not pretend there are no weeds. There is good reason for Thomas Cook to put the airline part of their business up for sale for their shareholders who are seriously pissed off with a 2nd profit warning and have seen the performance of the airline part of the business gradually reducing in line with more intense competition and sensitivity to weather.

I want to see a Thomas Cook that competes more effectively with the likes of Jet2 and Jet2 Holidays and right now this is not happening.

The air transat deal was done I believe over 2 years ago before monarch went out of business.

TCX are now tryjng to fill the gap that monarch left in the winter but because there own aircraft have been agreed elsewhere they are now having to lease in extra aircraft. I'm guessing next winter will be different as they will be scaling back so not the need for the extra lease aircraft

I could be wrong
