Thomas Cook

[lgordon6041]

Hi All,

I've had a quick look on here but I can't find anything on Thomas Cook Airlines. I am flying with them to Cuba on 27th and don't know much about them at all.
Anybody had any experience with them at all?

Many thanks

No experience of them at all Lee, why not Google search for TC reviews?[msnwink]

Lee,

We have flown with Thomas Cook Airlines from Newcastle several times (before they handed over the contract to Excel) and I was always very satisfied with their service. They were using Airbus 330's on that route which were newish planes with adequate seat pitch and seat back screens. Very few delays on our flights and friendly, smart and businesslike crew. There are always exceptions to the rule, but for me they have always been one of the best charter companies. As they are still the major tour operator on the Thursday flights from N/C I can't quite understand why they found it more economical to let Excel take over the flights. They must have given an extraordinarily low tender.
I certainly would have no worries about travelling with Thomas Cook again, but it doesn't look like we will get the opportunity as I understand Monarch are doing both Thursday and Saturday
next year from Newcastle. [msnsmile2]

Thanks Kevin & Julie,

All of my trans-atlantic flights over the past couple of years have been with Virgin & Air Canada (once) so I haven't been able to see what the charter airlines are like recently.

Im sure it will be fine!!

Thanks again!

PS I haven't forgotten about your sons visit to Valley Julie, I'll know quite soon when im going to be back there[msnsmile]

We have used them for short charter flights to Spain without any problems but prefer scheduled flights on long hauls as you tend to get more leg room, larger luggage allownace, drinks inlcuded.
Not sure you can get a scheduled flight to Cuba.
