Please help - TCX459L
Hi im picking people off a Thomas Cook flight TCX459L from Dalaman-Belfast tomorrow [03-08-2009] and they arrive at 19.30 but was looking up their flight details [they made a copy of flight tickets] and it says depart Dalaman at 16.30 and arrive Belfast at 19.30 , but if you take off -2 before you depart which will be 14.30 [uk time] it makes a flight of 5hrs ??
is this flight stopping off some where as i just returned from Dalaman a week ago on an Onur Air A321 and it was only 4.10 hrs

Scheduled Flight times
It is not a 5 hour flight. What has happened is TCX have scheduled a 5 hour sector time for the flight taking into account taxi time on the ground, unforeseen events and flight time. If the winds are not favourable the actual time spent in the air may be longer or shorter than the 4h10m you experienced.
All being well don't be surpised to see the flight arrive on the ground in BFS up to 30mins early. I have handled flights that have landed upto 1 hour early.
So if you leave late from your departing airport, this is how you 'make up time in the air'
