Thomas Cook Airlines adds Montego Bay for summer 2019
Thomas Cook Airlines has added a new service to Montego Bay and more flights to Seattle, Orlando and Cancun in its newly released summer 2019 long-haul programme.
In total, the airline will fly from Manchester, Gatwick and Glasgow to 13 destinations in the USA, the Caribbean and Mexico and will strengthen its core long-haul fleet with an Airbus A332 based at Manchester.
The new aircraft will have fully refurbished premium and economy cabins, seat back in-flight entertainment and USB charging points. The new addition increases the Thomas Cook Group Airline fleet of A332s to eight and the group airline’s total long-haul fleet to 27.
Thomas Cook Airlines is Manchester airport’s largest long-haul carrier, with 720,000 long-haul seats on sale from Manchester in summer 2019.
Services to Seattle, which launched in May this year, will increase from two flights a week to three – the same frequency as San Francisco. The airline’s Cancun service will operate daily – the same as New York – and 13 flights a week will operate to Orlando at peak season, a growth of 21% year-on-year.
