Hi, here are a few pictures from my recent holiday to Majorca. We flew with Thomas Cook Airlines from Leeds Bradford to Palma.
Over the skies of Europe:
G-TCAC was the outbound A320. Very cramped and dirty for a fairly new plane. The seats were grey leather, not the usual MyTravel dark blue leather.
What a way to end our holiday …..
FCA 757 whilst we were on the bus to the stand:
One of many Thomas Cook aircraft on the ground on this Tuesday morning.
Shame these will soon be Thomas Cook Scandanavia.
Our ride home:
G-GTDL has the ex MyTravel leather seats with much more legroom and overall in much better condition.
Legroom was fine coming back home.
Bye Bye Majorca … as we taxi off the stand.
Comments welcome 🙂

Cheers for the comments! 🙂
Interesting shots, Charlie, although that terminal on your way home looked like a total nightmare!
Dam right! I like to bypass the shops normally and head straight for the gate to watch what was going on but our flight was called for boarding while we were just passing the xrays and we were at gate C49 or something like that which seemed like a half an hour run from security! Luckily we were sat on the bus for ages so managed to get those shots.
Any pics of the ramp at LBA?
This is the only one I got at LBA … It was too dark and we were too busy enjoying breakfast at 4am! 🙂

Nice shots, I’m always a bit sheepish of taking photo’s airside at any airport through fear of getting arrested lol.
All they’ll ever do is tell you to stop, you just have to make sure you get the photo you want before they do! If I didn’t get shot taking photos on the ramp at Moscow Sheremetyevo last month you won’t get shot here or pretty much anywhere in Europe! 🙂

Cheers, yeah honestly ‘AC was the worst plane I have been on! I always thought the legroon on a charter A320 would be the same but it was shocking! No joke I could not put my legs parrallel together out the outbound flight, but on the inbound I could and there was about an inch spare between my knees and the seat infront.
Is she called Sam? If she is one of my mates was eyeing her up all the way back home, he wouldnt shut up about her for about a week after! Dont think she noticed though!
Yep, she is! 🙂

Great shots, shame you got probably the two worst A320’s in the TCX fleet!
