Great Video! I need to get myself on TCX to do a trip report as I haven’t flown on them since I went to Antalya in 2014 on their then brand new A321s. They have some great deals at £28.99 for some flights...
Nice one, I still remember seeing it recently after it was delivered to Monarch. It was so cool seeing one of their planes fitted with winglets at the time.
Great video. Wow your so lucky to get G-TCVB! I had its sister, G-TCVD in September last year. Those Monarch colours look fantastic don't they?! Also I think the IAE engine type sounds so much better than the CFM's. What aircraft did you have on the return?
Thanks, Samuel. No idea how excited I was to have VB on the flight to TFS. Nice one, we actually have VD based here instead as VB has had some pressurisation issues. The IAE one sounds a lot better you're right and the TC Hybrid is brilliant. I came back with Ryanair as the return was alot cheaper that way.
Jonathan Winton yeah the 4 hybrids are very special indeed. Yes VB has had a bit of bother in Hurghada. It had a pretty nasty bird strike making a pretty big dent. It flew back home to MAN to have a bit of TLC. Hopefully back out soon. Feel really sorry for her! Down here at BHX we have G-TCVA at the moment, the hybrid colours certainly something great to see on a gloomy day like today! On your flight did any of the passengers or crew make any reference to the hybrid colours, or is it just people like us who take an interest notice?!
@@samuelknight3826 Yeah that's right it flew back via Heraklion. Hopefully its back in service soon. Naah no-one mentioned it at all. Apart from the pilots I talked to. They do you're right, I really miss Monarchs Yellow.
Ah right. Well not on any of the TCX flights I've been on. I doubt you'll get it to Egypt either. Depends where you are flying from and what aircraft is on the route.
@@JonathanWinton123 I cant promise I'll be here, but I'll try to ;) My weekly tv show is tonight and I'm already quite tired. As Always if I fall asleep I fall asleep. But if I dont I'll be here. See ya :)
My experience of the James Martin endorsed prepaid meal is anyone thinking that slop which incidentally cost £9 is anything less that slop has never eaten anything other than junk food and insult to injury after paying in advance you will find you are last in the queue to get served only after the cabin crew have served all the other passengers food and drink from the trolley, perfume and alcohol and even after they have collected the rubbish. We paid £36 for this meal in advance when buying the tickets and it was disgusting only matched by every other aspect of this awful airline from the rudeness of their staff to the late take off of the planes (one hour late both times) . I strongly advise any would be customers to check out Trip Advisor for a balanced customer view of Thomas Cook
I miss this airline nowadays it's not the same 💛
I love your flight report Jonathan
Thomas Cook is still missed by everyone. Thanks so much for watching this and leaving a comment Alex.
Great trip report! Nice to see this aircraft still going - I flew on it when it was Monarch from Lanzarote to Gatwick!
Thank'you mate, lucky you. I never got onboard one of their Sharklet equipped A321s till this month. Ah we all miss Monarch.
Getting hyped for my Jet2 757 flight to the Canaries tomorrow, fantastic report!
Really hope you have a great flight down on it mate. I need to clear a 757 soon.
Thanks very much for watching 😁
I still haven’t watched this lol. Brilliant video Jonathan. You were so lucky to fly on this.
Aww man, well I'm pleased you did in the end haha. I certainly was, miss having the ex Monarch based here. Cheers :)
Brilliant video Jon, thoroughly enjoyed this and loved the commentary. Liked!
Cheers Archie, I hoped it might be worth trying a new approach. Appreciate that mate :)
Thanks this will really help as I am going on thomas cook as well. I am going today and thanks again!
No problem, I'm pleased it has been of some help.
I hope you enjoy your flight with them 👍
I’m going Thomas Cook in 7 weeks, CANT WAIT! The Airbus A320 family is my favourite by far for many reasons
Great Video! I need to get myself on TCX to do a trip report as I haven’t flown on them since I went to Antalya in 2014 on their then brand new A321s. They have some great deals at £28.99 for some flights...
Thanks, mate, this was my first time back with them since 2013 to Malta on the 767.
Definitely get yourself on a flight with one of those offers. 👍✈
Hope you had a good holiday!
Thanks, we had a great holiday. 😁
Very helpful
Thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed that, thanks 😀
Cheers mate :)
I flew on this aircraft AGP-MAN with Monarch in 2014
Nice one, I still remember seeing it recently after it was delivered to Monarch.

nice video the landing was quite firm
It was one of the smoothest I've had all year haha
Good voice over and report 👍👍
Thanks mate, pleased you mentioned the voice over too 👍👍
@@JonathanWinton123 you're welcome. Just published my latest trip report this morning. No voice over (yet) 😊
@@Speedbird1FLY Nice one mate, I'll take a look at it :)
Doh! never got to try their breakfast :(
Pity. It was good too 😥
I went on g tcvc back in may 2018 , I was quite upset because it reminded me of monarch and that was who I flew for my honeymoon
Nice, you got to go onboard. Yeah same for me, it was quite weird walking up to the plane thinking back to the Monarch days.
Don’t Thomas cook have tele and blanket and pillow ?
Not in Economy on inter European flights.
Jonathan Winton oh cause I saw a vid and it was econmey and then it had all that
Jonathan Winton am I’m going Egypt and it takes seven hours there
Jonathan Winton bc Egypt is not in Europe
Ah right. Well not on any of the TCX flights I've been on. I doubt you'll get it to Egypt either.
Depends where you are flying from and what aircraft is on the route.
Hello mate. At 5pm (UTC +1) The school will end. I'll be here at 5.20pm (still UTC +1). See you tomorrow and good night
Hopefully will have a live stream on tonight mate. Stay tuned.

How many toilets does these small planes easily have?
These Airbus A321s have 3 toilets at the rear, and 2 at the front of the plane.
5 if your counting your seat lol
I’m going to Tenerife in August and I live in Newcastle and I’m going with Thomas cook!!
Very nice, well I hope you have a good flight and holiday 👍
Rip Thomas cook
I still miss them.

Well this comment may have single handedly taken them down.
Pity, I always had a good experience with TCX.
@@JonathanWinton123 I did too. Last holiday to Tenerife didn't have a fault. Shame on what happened to its legacy.
