I'm Off – All TCX news welcome….

When I say I’m off, I have a couple of days to go yet. :diablo:

On Thursday I’m off to Lanzarote with Thomas Cook from Newcastle. I’ve flown Thomas Cook in their previous incarnation (2 JMC A330s in 2002) but this will be my first time on one of their 757s.

So in order to aid my excitement, if anyone has any news, views, pictures, points on what to expect with regard to my two flights, it’d be very welcome!

It goes without saying that I’ll post a trip report on my return. 🙂

Good to have you back Pembo, sounds like an experience on the return, it seems you cant have a flight without a drama at the mo!

Looking forward to the report 🙂

The same delay happened to me Pembo, an hour’s delay going out, and an hour and a half’s delay coming back, hope you enjoyed it though!

Well I’m back.

I will try and get a report done soon; flew out on G-JMCE and arrived half an hour early….greeat.

Not so great coming back (just my luck of late); flew on G-FCLB; an hour and half delay and then an aborted landing/go around at Newcastle on the return to gusty winds just before touch down. I know these things are fairly routine, but when you’re expecting to hit the tarmac and all of a sudden find yourself flung back in your seat and shooting upwards; its scary!

I agree an old noisy 1-11 would be ideal and keep them seperate to ‘respectable holidayers’. In flight catering could be a spam salad.

Bring back the 1-11’s for the 18-30 lot and make their flights between 01-00 and 05-00 am only !!!!!!! 🙂

Club 18-30 aand Twenties peassengers would be better suited to Ryanair than TCX. At best Id put them on a 2335 mid-week departure on MYT DC10 bound for Filakraki!! Haha

Just coz they got the prestigious Thomas Cook name means nowt, they think they are the ‘snobs charter airline’ …

That’s a load of BS…especially bearing in mind a significant proportion of TCX work is Club 18-30!

Take a good book then. Teguise is quite quiet, not for nightowls. There is a few bars but thats it. I prefer Puerto Del Carmen. You could always grab a taxi for a night out. Teguiise is more picturesque, however. Enjoy your holiday babi.

I dont care for TCX much myself, I have done both short and long haul with them and find them no better than any other charter carrier. Just coz they got the prestigious Thomas Cook name means nowt, they think they are the ‘snobs charter airline’ but they are just the same as MYT, BY et al.

I’m trying to resize my pictures from my Lanzarote trip at the minute, and I’m having one hell of a job! I’ll try and get them on before you go Pembo, enjoy yourself! Are you stopping in Puerto Del Carmen?

My experiences are based on G-JMAA and G-JMAB (when JMC) and they are a very good charter airline.

I found TCX an excellent charter airline when they subbed for my MyTravel flight. I flew on a 753, the legroom just the same as any other charter and very friendly crew.
Id think your in for two great flights, have a great time, look forward to the report on your return 🙂
