Help needed with flight arranging.

Hi all,

I have found the cheapest price yet for air travel to Orlando (sanford) from Manchester thru cheapestflights.co.uk but the flight number says 'tbc'
Dont the flight no's usually come up straight away, they have on all the other searches ive done. Could this effect us in any way?

Im wondering whether to book or not.

Also it says its a thomas cook flight but the dates are listed as unavailable on their website. Is it cocha? (sp)

Anyone used that site?

And how much leg room is there on Thomas Cook flights?

(if you can follow all that AND answer all those Q's you deserve medals )

Flight numbers should appear straight away if a flight is confirmed in slots for landing and takeoff, I don't know how they can state its definately a thomas cook flight if they don't have a definate flight number, having said that flight numbers are subject to change as much as flight timings. This could be a thomas cook plane being chartered by another company for their client use only, that could mean that thomas cook haven't yet given up a number for a flight they aren't themselves operating, you may experience some changes in timings before you actually get off the ground as these flights have to 'fit in' around other already scheduled flights where big companies have a lot of business going the way of sanford airport and will get preferential treatment over landing slots.
hope that makes some sense!!
by the way you'll find legroom to be on a par with Brittania, mytravel and other charters - around 30" pitch

Thank you Carol

Yes I admit I was a little concerned about the lack of flight details. Although the depart time is 0900 and tbh it doesnt really matter if the time is changed-as long as its done in advance.
Interestingly, the time given for the return states that the time listed is the time we arrive back in Manchester, 0430 or something similar. Again, as long as we know earlier, it *should* be ok.

As for the seat pitch, that is a shame as we found Airtours to be cramped.

Why not ask if they've got a premium seat cabin? many thomas cook airlines do and the seat pitch is quite a lot more,
also if the time you were given reads 1000/0430 then yes you're right, that means 1000 am from uk and 0430 am arrive back uk, that should mean your sanford flight will depart at a bout 1630 local time
