Wamos Air - Thomas Cook Airlines plane change

[Claret1882]

yes this aircraft has been in Glasgow for the past couple of summers I think. A330-300 from Scandinavia. 372 seats all economy.

Flight radar tells me that the Scandinavian TC A330-343 (OY-VKI) did a 2 hour flight from Angeles City in the Philippines returning to the same airport, after no activity so I'm guessing that was its test flight to go back in to service.
It's just landed in Glasgow after flying from Angeles city,(CRK) via Abu Dhabi,
It's scheduled to fly the Glasgow - Cancun route today, My guess is that when it lands back in Glasgow tomorrow, it'll be doing the Orlando service tomorrow.

Landed safe and sound and at the villa. Although pilot decided to do a wee donut in the sky not long after takeoff. Cracking flight

Yeah, another great flight from Glasgow onboard Thomas Cook today and using the two exits to board at gate 30 made for a fast getaway and ahead of schedule arrival.
The circle out over the Minch shortly after take off was a bit strange.
I wonder what that was for?

I must admit the landing was a bit on the fast and heavy side, someone making up their hours up front?

Hello can you tell me if this flight has IFE, as I fly out in Monday.

Is that MT2650 on 24th?
If so, flight radar is showing it as an A333. The only TC one I know of doing the route is the same Scandinavian plane, OY-VKI It's just come back into service after being in the Phillippines, presumably for an overhaul.

flightradar24/data/flights/mt2650
flightradar24/data/aircraft/oy-vki
These links will allow you to track the flight/aircraft

Planerspotters gives the configuration for OY-VKI as Y408
the config for G-OMYT (one of the 3 ex- MY Travel A330-200s with the unique downstairs loos) is W49Y273. G-OMYT has 49 seats in PE and 273 in Economy, so I'm guessing that W49 = PE and Y273 = Standard Economy,
So I'm assuming that OY-VKI is a single Economy class with 408 standard seats.
As it's a TC plane it will have IFE I think.
Keep an eye on the flight radar links.

Thanks for your help k1971.

We flew back on it yesterday and landed in Glasgow this morning. There was IFE and charging points at every seat. There was a fault with it all the middle seats got the economy choice and flying map free. The twos at the side got all the Preminger movies and tv free but no map.

I thought at first we were turning back - sick passenger, something wrong with plane etc. And yes we really thumped down on that tarmac!
