What a rip off, I have gone right off T,Cook after last year, and will avoid flying with them in the future,whatever next, got to laugh though, we are talking about a no stress break in the sun, and it involves, being ripped off on the plane, getting a cheap transfer/car hire,having bank card stolen, problems with hotels, being ripped off by tour operators, watching out for snakes, and dread the thought of having to visit the doctor by the roundabout,or being dragged in a car, changing money from the clothes shop man,then a delay on the way home and having to pay a fortune in the airport, hahahaha, Roll On August,:P

Re: the scratchcards -on a TC flight I asked them how much of the £1 was actually donated to the charity (the one that God-awful Jonathon Woss promoted)  The princely sum of 10 pence.  Wonder where the other 90p goes??

The scratchcards cost £1 and if you are lucky enough to get one with a £1 prize they don't give you a pound coin in return they just give you another scratch card. It goes on like that until you lose.

I just hope someone starts up a rival airline that offers the same frequency of flights, apart from the film charge which I would easily forgo for more leg room for us all. Tcook must have the smallest distantance betweeb seat back to seat back, you only need a clown in front of you to put his or her seat back and you are squashed in.

I would have thought having the seats so close together is also dangerous.  Last time I was on a flight with them I think the distance was around 14" between seats.  Perhaps someone would like to measure it next time they're on a flight.
You can barely manoeuver out to go for a wee, God forbid who knows what would happen in an emergency?

It is also strange how we are advised to adopt the brace position in the event of an emergency, as follows:



And the chances of getting your head anywhere near your knees on a Thomas Cook flight are...

We always pay for emergency exit seats. I know they are a total rip off but.............
