I have flown with TCA about 5 times, simply because they are cheaper than the likes of British Airways but more expensive than Jet2.com. There are differences between the lower cost airlines and the likes of Thomas Cook, simple things like getting the airbridge to the terminal rather than a bus.
However, the legroom is appalling on holiday flights with TCA, you cannot move your legs at all. The air is very stuffy and at times you find yourself making the extra effort to breathe!!!
The meals on the airline are good for airline meals, they offer vegetarian, vegan and normal options. The cabin crew are also very good and are only too happy to help.
In the terminal the check-in desks are usually plentiful so there is never a large queue. I have never had a delay with them and the planes are always spotless!!
On board then offer a childrens film on the way and then a more adult film on the way back, they are generally new releases! The screens are not very good because if you arent sat directly in front of them or if you are unlucky enough to be on one of the rows where you are too close to watch the one above you and too far away to watch the one in front it can be bad. The headphones and adapters can be bought and kept for a reasonable price.
Flight wise I have noticed that on the way to your destination the flight is always a lot longer than they predict, but on the way back always a lot shorter for some reason!
As I say, Average sums the airline up!

Hi I agree with the comment below. Wasn't a bad revieqw, though a few larger chunks of writing would have been good and definitely more info would have improved the ratings. Scarlett x
