flying with Thomas Cook

[daisysun]

we are flying with Thomas Cook to turkey this year, we have always used thomson but thomas cook was quite a lot cheaper. Anyway, does anyone know what they are like re food, entertainment, service etc??


thank you

[kentcabbie]

Food is the usual flight meals,entertainment is nil, service ok,but just hope you,ve got short legs, legroom is minimal...Rog.

sounds great! do they have tv's or radios?
well we are not very tall but we have got children, one of which will be on our knee as will be only 1. Looks like it could feel like quite a long flight! will make sure we take plenty to keep us entertained and some snacks etc.
do they supply pillows and or blankets for the children? (we are on a night flight), i know Thomson did the last time

Used Thomas Cook last year, we don't do in flight meals, but there was a Film on both ways, take your own headphones (mono only due to adapter needed) or purchase on flight.
Enjoy Steve

ah thats promising, it would be good if there was a film on our flight

We are flying with them this year and it actually states that there won't be flight entertainment,but that you can hire a psp with pre loaded movies/games on them for a ridculous price which was also the case when we flew with them last September and no blankets or pillows. You can buy a pack from them which includes a small pillow and small blanket.

hire a psp?!! hmm i think not. And thanks for telling me about the pillows blankets, we will get some travel pillows for the kids and maybe pack a jumper as it can get cold i think on flights. They will do anything to get extra money out of you wont they! even down to the little things which always used to be free as standard. Im pleased i asked so i can go prepared

They sell meals on board but these are just small microwave meals and are not that good.
Its best to get a meal deal from Boots at the airport.

The movies on TC have been stopped. Food is basic inflight meal.

I've just got myself a tablet computer rather than an ereader for books as it also plays films. Total bargain at £59.99 and plays films a treat from a micro sd card - will save a lot of money on "hiring" them on the plane and we get to load up the films we want to watch too. Saved a ton of space (and weight) in my case on the amount of books I'd be taking as I read a lot. Would defo get the boots meal deal or fill your bag from the lounge at the airport if you're visiting

hi noodles1609, would you mind telling me where you got your tablet from please? thx in advance

[noodles1609]

Hiya

This is the link - I was a bit skeptical but it's brilliant, comes already loaded with kindle and a bunch of other apps. If you want to play films you'll need some conversion software but you can get that free online too, to convert dvds to api files, I'm no technie and managed to do it ok
