Mon and Tcx Flights from BHX and MAN...

[Mike16]

Hi Guys


Just being a bit spottery here, just booked my holidays and first one is to Bourgas in Bulgaria going in Sept from BHX and just wondered what aircraft i would be on.
Then secondly booked my holiday for April next year to Cuba and flying with Thomas cook from Manchester, and the same thing again what aircraft type would that be, and what is the IFE like on TCX ? and leg room and that lot. Any help is really appreciated

Thanks Guys

Thomas Cook will be on an A330, with 33" legroom in the main cabin. IFE on a loop unless you get on the only one that has On demand movies

Where is it you are going in Cuba?

Mike16.
Are you sure you are on a Monarch flight to Bourgas from BHX, as their booking system does not show it under charter for BHX.
If you have a day of the week, time and flt number l might be able to help.

Hope this helps, looks like the aircraft is based in BOJ then, as of the flight times ??

No, it´ll be flying a W pattern from some other UK airport, say for instance: LGW-BOJ-BHX-BOJ-LGW.

wow a long Duty for crew then that day !

The crew will not operate the whole pattern, but will changeover at BHX.

A/C is a A321 and is on a W from Dublin.:ok:

Thankyou so much for this, you are all soooo good !
What about my TCX flight then from MAN to Cuba, what type would that be ?

As Iain mentioned in the 2nd post - the TCX flight will be on an A330-200 and has operated this same route for a number of years now

[jpoth06]

I recently went on one of their A330-200s to Cuba, on the way out it was the ex MyTravel one with the down stairs lavatories.

Being a real plane spotter as well. I believe the "refurbished" TCX A330's, with the downstairs toilets. Are actually the ex.My Travel Airways ones which TCX took over when the 2 companies merged. And have been flying since 1999!:ok:

[Envoy320]

correct...the "older" ones of the fleet!!
