Thomas Cook's Red Eye Flights?
Does Anybody know the red eye flights that thomas cook operate??
|
Well, personally I would class the following out of NCL as red eye flights - certainly some of the passengers have red eyes I bet!!
IBZ departs 0145 saturday morning IBZ departs 0050 sunday morning ZTH departs 0015 sunday night/monday morning :\ I'm guessing they can be very lively flights - particularly those destinations. |
if this helps you, i'm flying tommy cook on 9/8/08 dep bhx at 21.40 to lpa and arriving back to bhx on 17/8/08 07.15... great can't wait!! p.s has thomas cook improved?, last time i flew with them was 6yrs ago and the worst flight ever. no leg room, poor inflight service say no more.

If flew to SKG from BHX with thomas cook in 2006 was it, the last year they operated the flight, and i measured 29 inch legroom, no meals we ordered, uncomfortable seats, poor service, bumpy landing, and we had to go around at bhx twice because of traffic, and the aircraft was old and noisey, and since then i dont believe there has been much change... I flew with thomson from EMA last year, and it was fine, more legroom, better service, and a cleaner aircraft.

I left it to the last minute to book my flights to lpa. I can only check in to my hotel on the sat. Could of had xl from lgw but worse flying times. Not many flights to lpa on a sat. Hence i was asking have thomas cook improved any since my last flight with them to lpa from lgw 6 years ago. I think it was a 757 an old one!

The jets are 6 years older now!

bumpy landing, and we had to go around at bhx twice because of traffic Although passengers like nice, smooth landings, what's more important for the pilots is landing at the right point on the runway at the right speed (to make best use of the space available, especially on shorter runways) - sometimes this means a slightly heavier landing in the process. The aircraft are designed to take this and more so, again, try not to be too alarmed! Go-arounds, although relatively rare, are considered a standard, "normal" manoeuvre by crews and trainers - one of the main reasons this way of thinking is instilled is so that there is no hesitation at performing one if things are not exactly as the crew would like. I'm sure you'd agree with this philosophy! Having said that, they can feel quite dynamic to passengers in the back so it's understandable that people are slightly wary of them. They also often come with little warning, which can't help. Lastly, don't be worried if you hear nothing from the flightdeck for the first few minutes after a go-around - they are busy climbing the aircraft away and following the missed approach procedure before coming up with their next move. Best regards, B&S :ok: |
In reality all charter airlines have the same legroom for shorthaul fleets (737, 757, A320/321 etc etc). Thomson wouldn't have been any better, unless it was one of their LH B767s.
