Tail Number CS-TFZ

Yes it was the same plane they used last year!

Source: jethros.uk/fleets/fle...irlines_uk.htm (I emailed him and he did some asking and updated the site)

Old posts from last year:
blog.thomascookairlines/a...fly-need-know/
and search in here for hifly to see how bad it was... TC compensated people - even if they didn't ask for it

Reason I'm interested - I booked in June 15 for June 16 with PE, 330 days out - they changed the plane to hifly - after reading all the bad reviews I complained to HQ and they tell me it will be much better this year - spec better and better IFE.

Have checked out Hifly and they are a perfectly good airline, excellent record and previous employees all praise them. Just bad reviews of the craft and service last year - shame as TC seem to be doing well with their other planes.

Re the online Seats Fiasco - my booking now says:

Looks like they have given up on the reliability of their website now and just refer you back you your booking - and my seats are on there.

Just googled the flight and see it is advertising on demand IFE

Its currently being used by Condor (TCs German operation)Munich to Dom Rep. (using a weird 4 row PE and 2-4-2 in the cabin)

But when we get it for 3/4 weeks in Glasgow (Late June - Mid July) then its of to Stansted (Mid July to Mid Aug) its being sold as 3-3-3 with the front 6 rows WERE being sold as extra leg room - but now just being sold as all economy - Strange.

Nothing 100% conclusive here - just joining the dots.

Found 2 dibbers who will be on the plane before me and have asked them to post details - but I'll post for sure on 28th June at 7pm (FLORIDA TIME!)

Pay for it all on Tuesday so will ask some hard questions in store just for some reassurance... but I have to say the store ppl have been great - if not a little just reading off the screen - but they can only recite what they have been told.

On an interesting note if you look closely at the Jethros fleet site - they have ordered a new plane next year so could be the last year of the hifly?

PM

See more...

Please feel free to carry on...

Has anyone flown on the Hifly from Stansted this summer yet?

I'm loving these 'better than expected' reports, but I don't think I've seen anyone reporting on the Stansted flights - and we are on those in August!

As far as I know they don't fly from Stansead until the end of July. I'm going from there on the 8th August.

Oh I see! - I didn't realise that! Thanks for letting me know.

I doubt we'll hear before we fly then, as we fly on 11/8, so no one will be home to report back!
