Thomson flying from Aberdeen

"..and no hard sell every two minutes....."

Such as ?

[Jacqui Harvey]

Such as T.C. pushing a trolley up and down for most of the flight flogging stuff.  It's really quite peaceful on the Turkey owned flights.

flogging stuff ?

The only thing I have been offerd on a TC flight is Duty Free (which I am grateful for) and scratch cards which I would hardly classify as "hard sell"

[Scunner]

Are you kidding H? First it's drinks, then food/snacks, then duty free, then scratchcards, then another drinks trolley and I'm sure I've missed one or two out!

[Highlander]

First it's drinks: that'll do me - 3 G&T's for a tenner, bring it on.
then food/snacks: same trolley surely.
then duty free: that'll do me again - 2 Litres of gin - one large one before we go out for a meal and one large on our return
then scratchcards trolley: accepted
then another drinks: I respectfully refer you to my previous response.

OK £13.75

Well if you were on a flight from Dalaman to Glasgow, leaving Turkey at 2am and arriving in Glasgow at around 04:30 and then a drive home, and were given the aisle seat in the last row (which is narrower than all the others and I am not) and have to listen to all these trolleys being prepared just behind your head, then each one wheeled up and down, for the entire flight, combined with TC staff talking at full volume continuously (again within 18" of your seat) about the biggest load of cr*p you've ever heard, when all you want to do is perhaps sleep for one hour out of the 4.5 you are on the flight so you may not end up driving your car into a concrete bridge on your way home at daybreak...

...then maybe you would hate Thomas Cook as much as I do.

and your point is

H - you must have the tolerance levels of a saint.

Realising that I have no choice but to take a TC flight if I do want to go to Dalaman, really makes the whole airport/flying routine even more of a pain.

I also realise that this is something of a first world problem and that I am actually very lucky to be flying anywhere.

I read in the press and it was also highlighted by a member on this Forum a few years ago that T.C. give 10p to Charity from every scratch card they sell for £1.00.   As the Americans say "you do the math"
