Mobile Thomas cook - Manchester

Looking at flights out of Manchester for next Saturday and can see there one at 11am and 12.20. On the earlier flight it says operated by Air Tanker but doesn't on the later one. I'm assuming then the later one is not the air tanker and has IFE?

We want on the 12.20 flight last month and it was the Thomas cook planes with premium. Great flights but the timing not great as we arrived to a long wait in immigration.

Thanks for that. I was surprised there were two flights so close together. Did wonder if they merged them at times!

We are on the 11.00 flight on the following Saturday. We are three adults and the lack of IFE does not bother us at all. We could not turn down the price we got, and we all get off at Orlando, at the end of the day.
Hope you get sorted xx

Couldn't agree more. IFE is nice, but I would always have my iPad/phone/kindle with me to keep me entertained for the flight.

We are flying at 11.55 this morning with TC - our details say it is an Air Tanker plane but it apparently has IFE. I have our tablets loaded with films and have my kindle so not too worried if that's not the case.

Have an amazing holiday 😊. We're meant to be flying at 12 noon when we go and it's also the Air Tanker. From what I've been told ours has IFE - there is no premium but our configuration is 2-4-2 So fingers crossed.

As the later has Premium it’s not an Airtanker leased A330 Airbus
If you look again you will see the second( and TC have only leased two) AT lease is going to New York from Manchester at 10:35

Just do a dummy booking on their website and it will tell you.
