    I've never has this bad experience as this flight. One attendant (I can name her but...) was bitchy like hell and snapping to passengers for no reasons but her bad temper. I was a one of her victim too. When I point out her mistake gently(I meant really!), she screamed at me! I was speechless (literally)! Plus her breath smelled like garlic... how professional is that?
    Food they served was also... well, even hungry horse wouldn't eat...

    This airline is for package tour, that I understand but ...

    PLEASE - If you are flying short/medium haul on FlyThomasCook - cancel NOW. Don't put yourself through it. We flew Gatwick to Tenerife 30/10 returned 10/11. Only delayed 1hr 10min outbound, and only took 57 minutes for the first bag to appear on Gatwick's baggage carousel. These were the GOOD points. I am 5ft 10, 34 waist, 31 leg, seat width was tight, knees hard against seat in front. Shocking food, entertainment guide useless, earphones (not free) worked in one ear outbound, only intermittent ...

    30/09 Lgw Cancun 14/10 Can Lgw. Both ways landed early. A330 Aircraft good. 35 inch seat pitch excellent, seat width tight for over 13 stones..
    Cabin Crew very good, food OK, Entertainment poor, through our taravel agent we had 25kgs luggage and a free drink and headset and 10 of us together and seats were already pre booked so a really good experience....

    Paid £124 for extra legroom seats 9 months before travel and at check in the memeber of staff asked us if we had any disabilities, which led us to believe we had been allocated emergency exit seats. As you have guessed we weren't and spoke to the Cabin Crew Manager who admitted TCX mistake but there was nothing they could do even though some of the seats were sold that morning. He assured me it would all be rectified and yes you've guessed it when we checked in for our return flight no e ...

    Legroom and overall comfort was the worst ever experienced. The food (which is an extra payment of £15-00 per person) on the outbound flight was poor but on the return flight was almost unfit for consumption. The flight alone was over £360.00 each from Newcastle to Paphos... This was only my second flight with Thomas Cook (the first had a 12 hour return delay)with the same levels of discomfort and this latest experience has convinced me not to fly Thomas Cook again. Not only is the f ...

    After having read some very discouraging reviews, I was concerned. However, we found the Thomas Cook Airline service to be abolsutely fine. The check-in staff and cabin crew were friendly. The outward flight left on time, but the return flight was delayed by half an hour because of a technical problem. The cabin was clean. The leg room wasn't great, with our knees being pressed up aginst the back of the row in front, but it wasn't unbearable. We didn't order any meals or buy an drinks so c ...

    Thomas cook really messed up our booking regarding the bagage. Customer service were bordering on rude even though it was there mess up. The rep just seemed cheesed off and un interested in her job in the resort. Check in staff were plesent though. The Hotel Amalia was nice and very clean, Bali was lovly, we did have a good holiday but as for the service from Thomas cooke, well i won't bother aagain.

    I have been fighting Thomas Cook for 4 months now and they have started to ignore me.

    Our holiday to the Dominican Republic started bad with a 22 hour delay and we had to spend the night in a Gatwick hotel but were not given our luggage back so had to wear same clothes the following day.

    On the way home why we was lining up to check in I was approached by a Thomas Cook employee who asked if me my wife and 9 year old son would like to pay £130.00 each and upgrade our seats, I asked what ...

    Arrived 50 minutes early going but unfortunately engine problems on return and 28 hour delay hence only 4 stars. However must compliment the Handling staff at Zante for keeping the passengers informed of reason for delay and the steps being taken to rectify the problem-with safety paramount. Given snack at airport initially and when fault identified replacent aircraft on way following day. We were bused to a hotel and dinner/breakfast provided, following day ten Euros for lunch and coaches to ta ...

    Thomas Cook Airline really need to clean the cabin area , especially as this is your space for 10 hours, you really should not have to wipe crumbs off your chair, use a wet wipe to clean your table and tv screen, I had a bad one both ways, and lastly the food is an insult.

    Never had so little leg room on any other charter flight. I would never ever use Thomas Cook Airline again as it made a 3 and a half hour journey intolerable. And I am only 5 ft. 6 inches tall. A big plane and very smooth flight, but dreadful lack of space really made the journey exceedingly unpleasant. I have been flying charter flight for years and this was the worst ever experience of being squashed. I would like to have known the space between seat edge and seat in front.

    I paid £60 extra on my Thomas Cook Airline flights for aisle seats. I had the appropriate seat on the outward journey, but on the return trip all the aisle seats had been allocated. I made it clear to the flight attendants that I needed extra leg room because of my height and the fact that I suffer from claustrophobia. I had to put up with a cramped seat for the flight. I was promised a refund by the cabin crew. This has not been forthcoming, despite constant letters. It is now 5 months an ...

    I must say that I had great reservation before going on my flight as I had read so many negative comments about Thomas Cook Airline. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The flight was on time and despite an initial confusion about where the premium passenger check was everything for check in went smoothly. I was also glad I had upgraded as the queue for economy was enormous. On board the sparkling wine was a little cheap tasting but this is a minor thing. Also, the food wasn't great b ...

    Although flight was comfortable and on time the reason i woud not recommend thomas cook airline and in fact chose to pay more to fly with another company later that year is because of the rediculous baggage system they have especially in Turkey (not sure if they do this in other countries??)They only have a 15kg baggage allowance as opposed to 20kg on most airlines as standard even so the reps dump you at the airport in small but so slow ques and leave(at this point you relise why so slow)the Tu ...

    Paid £120 extra for leg room seats near toilets. When we boarded the flight one of the toilets was already Out of Order and had over a 5 hour flight ahead of us. Queues constantly beside us for the toilets due to this and then the other one was also out of order mid flight so only front 2 toilets available for over 280 passengers. The crew only had minimum turnaround time otherwise over flying hours and no toilets fixed. The return journey was even worse and a non-paying passenger was put ...

    We flew with Thomas Cook to Zakynthos for 11 days for our honeymoon. Our flight was delayed so we had to wait about 4 hours on Gatwick Airport and then 1 hour on the plan because it took them a lot of time to load the luggage. When we arrived to Zakynthos airport, everything went very quickly, we received our luggage in about 5 minutes and one of Thomas Cook staff was waiting for us on the airport and took us to the bus. We got to our hotel in Argassi quite quickly. But we were tired after a lon ...
