Hiya,
Considering booking next year with TCD, been with Virgin and Ba mainly due tho the fact they book your internal flights from Aberdeen as well, but now that BA has cancelled their Aberdeen flight to Gatwick and Manchester, I'll have to arrange my own internal flight anyway with Flybe, so I thought I might give TCD a go, as the price to go Sunshine first is not too far off what I was quoted for Virgin economy.
Anyone got any advice - good or bad??

Much appreciated,

This is a big can of worms on the boards, some People love them and some people hate them. We have been with them several times and not had any problems. We hyave also been with virgin and to be honest didn't think they were any better apart from the seat back tv's.

definantly Worth booking if you can get Sunshine first for economy virgin rate.:thumbsup2
 
Thanks Tony,
I just thought I'd ask, as it's not something I've really considered before, and I just know the drill with BA and Virgin, so it's a big deal for us to go with another company. Also, which terminal does TCD fly from - is it the same as the others, or are charters different?, and would it be easy to get to your connecting domestic flight? I don't really know much about these things.
This year BA pulled the rug out from under us and cancelled the Gatwick Aberdeen route, so we have been moved to Heathrow and have to change there which is not something I really want to do regularly ( we're a family of 5)

I used them in January and didnt have any problems, flying virgin in September and TCD again in December this year, I go with whoever has the best deal lol

My sister in law swears by tcd as she has a big family and it costs the earth for her to travel virgin with 4 kids two of them being teenagers
 

i was delayed for over a day, something like 27 hours last summer flying from manchester.

thats really the only problem ive encountered with them, in 4 or 5 trips.

im going with them again this June, from glasgow as im sure the delay on my last trip was a one off.

They are getting new planes for this year aswell i think, which may have seat back tvs!
 
They fly out of the south terminal at Gatwick
 
We used to use Virgin, but TCD are so much cheaper we thought we'd try them last year. They wer fine-no seat back TVs though. You can 'hire' individual entertainment systems for £10. Although I think is Sunshine 1st you get them free. TCD land at Sandford about 45-60 minute drive to Disney, but clearance through the airport is quicker-no double baggage claim. We're using them again this year:goodvibes
 
DIRE DIRE DIRE

Not so much the 22 hour delay (could have coped with that) but the dreadful way it was handled and the appalling customer service. Won't go into the long and boring details but we will never travel with them again no matter how cheap.
 
we have flown with TCD once ! the whole experiance was no better or worse than any other carrier :)

The price was the reason we booked with them and always will be :thumbsup2
 
we have used TCD,we had no problems at all.the flights were on time,staff friendly,no complaints from me.would use them again,but i am someone,who considers the price.i can't see the point,in paying alot more,for the same holiday!!!

We've booked with TCD for the first time for sept this year. Due to many changes of (her) mind, we've phoned and changed many details of our holiday, and its been a very easy and pleasant experience..........so far i can recommend
TCD.
Used VH many years ago, and had no complaints, but i have found TCD to be more user friendly.

hope this helps
