- (G-TCBB) 11/04/15 Boeing 757-236, poor weather departure but with great RB211 sound on takeoff from RWY23R at Manchester Airport. A flight video including the taxi, takeoff, approach and landing of TCX2124 to Palma, Mallorca. On board one of the few remaining Thomas Cook Airlines 757-200's in the U.K, G-TCBB which has the 'Egypt, where it all begins', colour scheme. It was a very busy flight, pretty much full with lots of holidaymakers getting away for the Easter holidays. Sorry about all of the background noise, it cannot be helped since there are a lot of excited people! This was my first return flight from Manchester since I'm used to flying out of the London airports, quite a nice experience. The flight departed from terminal 1. I noticed it wasn't that big, but still had good facilities. The weather wasn't great on departure, quite turbulent and very cloudy! It was pretty hazy coming into Mallorca which meant that the visibility wasn't great. Since the Boeing 757 is my favorite aircraft, I had most certainly been looking forward the this flight for a while. The days prior to the flight, I had tried to narrow down which of their 757's it was, hoping that G-WJAN and G-FCLI would have returned from their winter lease to WestJet. Turns out they hadn't! Still, a great flight, nice crew and wonderful aircraft. The return flight was with Monarch on one of their Airbus A321's later that day.

...and If you have ANY questions please do drop a comment in the comments section below, I'll be sure to reply to all of them. This could be anything to do with more in depth details, parts of the flights that are not shown in this video, reviews etc.
Jut one more thing to add... I would like to thank everyone for their likes, subscriptions, comments and follows on my social media. I really do enjoy making videos and sharing photos with everyone to make it seem as close to the real experience. If I didn't enjoy what I do, then why would I bother doing it :D Thanks
Great takeoff in the rain! Nice engine sound!
***** Thanks man, the RB211's always sound amazing :D
Going on holiday in a few weeks time and petrified of flying usually I have something to take to calm my nerves but noticed watching these before I go seems to calm down haha think it's a way of basically saying see it is safe. Great vid! X
Why would there be any reason for doubt?
I thoroughly enjoyed that flight, doing it for real in 2 days....thank you for sharing, im going with Thomas Cook you put my mind to rest.....thank you!!!!
Great video Conor! Love those RB211s!! :)
MrLeapYearBoy Thanks! Yes they are awesome, hope your enjoying yourself in Phoenix :D
Amazing sound from these RB211's on the majestic 752!! Amazing video!
Nordic Aviation Oh yes definitely, the best part to look forward to! Thanks :D
Fantastic in-flight video Conor! You really can't beat that RB211 engine sound ;)
CogAviation I know right! It was amazing, thanks :D
Nice Video :-) I would love to fly on a 757 one day.
scotrail82 Cheers! Yeah, If you ever get the opportunity, I would definitely recommend it :D
I flew on this flight number in 2014 the weather was good at both ends
12 degrees?!?!? For april!
Great video i love watching videos of flying on planes it helps relax me :) quick question does this aircraft have movies available to watch thanks anyway great video!
This aircraft does not exist in the fleet anymore which is a shame but on particular routes, there was inflight movies :D
12° did it feel like that
Awesome video!
***** Thanks :D
This video is amazing! Definately giving a like! I am flying from Manchester Airport to Palma De Mallorca on the 16th of May (2016) only, I am flying on a Jet2 plane. I am so scared although it is my 2nd holiday which means I have already been on a plane. Also, you've earned yourself a new subscriber! (I'm 11).
Manchester is a really good airport in my opinion!
Another great video bud! If I missed it somewhere apologies but just wondering what camera you are using?
Cheers
Flightsim10HD Thanks man!! I'm using the Panasonic V750 :D
El Arenal is full or dutchies, the other side of the island full of British people...
Do you know what plane Thomas Cook would be operating from Manchester to rhodes in July 2017? Will I have to put up with an Airbus A321 if I go? Cheers and greetings from Sheffield :).Ben
wonder why the pilot added power just before touch down, hence the hard landing? great video by the way love those RB 211s
alan scott It is usually to help the aircraft increase the flare just before touchdown to make it more smooth, doesn't look like it went too well this time ahaha! Never mind, thanks and yes the RB211's are absolutely amazing :D
12°s Get me back to Manchester 😂😂😂😂
iiiiiiiiii🫒
Was it a smooth light no turbulence?
19:20 looks the best
Can I use this audio in a FSX video? I'll give full complete credit
+JordanCO_ TV Go for it, thanks for letting me know :D
Conor010 Aviation Channel ✈✈ Thank you so much! I'll have to crack out the 757 for FSX soon
hi....was thinking about picking seat 8a for our holidays. was it a good window seat, or was it one of those seats where you were you are between 2 Windows ? no probs if you can't remember.....Really good video btw
Mark Graham, To be totally honest, it's irrelevant from this video because Thomas Cook doesn't have Boeing 757-200s anymore. So it is unlikely to reflect the aircraft that you will be flying on. Sorry about that, have a nice flight :D
Yeah I know that, I'm flying Thomson, but the plane will still be the same.....thanks anyway
Close to ground kid says is this the airport what a noob, great video
RioLetsPlays lool
RioLetsPlays Yes I had that in my ear hole for the whole flight lol. I cut out a lot of the pushback, they both said, I didn't know planes can reverse... and another one was, Oh look its that airline with the harp on the tail, she started talking about eharmony, the dating website ??? Thanks anyway :D
Magaluf full of people like that :-)
Conor010 Aviation Channel ✈✈ LOL......Fortunately, you had those amazing RB211's in your ear hole as well. ;) Congrats on 1K subs, Conor! Well deserved. :)
turbofanlover Thanks man!! Glad you noticed and of course the RB211 would drown out the noise! :D
What is your next flight going to be?
I flew on this exact plane (G-TCBB) on 08/04/15, 3 days prior to you as flight number TCX3126 Glasgow - Fuerteventura. The least I can say is we had a 'few issues'... really wouldn't have liked to be you on that plane after! The following link kind of explains the situation.
www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/13305678.Holiday_flight_SCARE_after_mid_air_instruments_alert/
I was on that flight and now I see it was back in service on the 11th which makes me slightly confused. This is mainly due to the fact we had a fuel leak and a problem with the entrance/exit cabin door.
We were delayed in Glasgow Int'l Airport for around an hour, during which time we were notified of a problem with the door. Then, somewhere over the Irish Sea, we were notified of a fuel tank failure of some sort and the pilot was faced with a dilemma. He announced we would have to change planes at London Gatwick after jettisoning some fuel near Cork/Wexford. Upon arriving into Gatwick we were told to change over to a long distance Airbus as the Boeing 757-200 would be in repairs for the next week or so. The minimum amount of days for these repairs should be 4 working days however, you travelled on it just 3 days after me. This poses the question, was it fixed at all or were you flying on a potential deathtrap(!!!). :)
The FlightRadar24 twitter page below clearly shows my flight on 8/4/15 and its flight path up to (almost) Wales. (So you can know I'm not lying xD)
twitter.com/search?q=tcx3126&src=typd
Also, the French ATC were on strike at the time (again...) so we ended up diverting from Gatwick in the newer Airbus via Cornwall and over to Portugal, skirting the outer rim of the Bay of Biscay Flight Jurisdiction Boundary.
In the end we arrived over 6 hours late into Fuerteventura!
Just thought I'd let you know you may have been on a faulty plane!
;)
Evan Lockey I appreciate the concern and detailed comment but I flew on G-TCBB not BC which appears to be the plane that you flew on that had the technical problems. BB and BC both had the Egypt livery so maybe that's how it has confused you ;)
Conor010 Aviation Channel ✈✈ I have a photo from outside the plane and it appears to be G-TCBB I was on... idk though :)
Evan Lockey if you look at the screenshot of the twitter post, it says BC, but they're both very similar on the outside
Are you Flying back to Manchester with Thomas Cook ?
Lewis Farmer No, we flew back with Monarch on board G-OZBH Airbus A321 back to Manchester :D
Ok Thanks
Wait, this is the video from cogaviation, I remember those kids voices arguing in his video
No winglets???
VeniVidiAjax Nope, not on this 757
The touchdown looked very slow!
i can see my house from there lol ,
