rookery Posted July 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We are looking to book for the Dream departing in 3 weeks and notice that the flights are with Czech Airlines rather than the usual Thomson Airlines. We've never had this before. Does anybody know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never had this before. Does anybody know why? where are you flying from? Is the airline CSA or TCX? CSA is czech airlines and TCX is Thomas Cook. Thomson use TCX for some flights from Norwich. They probably have a shortage of capacity and just buy some in at short notice. this is common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedeccaman Posted July 15, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2011 we went on the Dream early June and booked with Thomson by phone , when we questioned this (flight with Czech) lady said they sometimes do this ie lease out flights to other airlines I was expecting an old Lancaster Bomber or similar , however it was a brand new Airbus.One word of warning do not buy any peanuts they are :eek: !!!!!!!!!!! no meals on board but sarnis etc and drinks, we had delayed departure from Manchester but that was not the fault of the Airline Have a good cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
