INTRODUCTION Last year my parents decided to take me on my first holiday abroad. It was to Salou, Spain. Which has lots of tourist attractions like beaches and theme parks. So the holiday was booked and the flight was with Thomas Cook...
MY EXPERIANCE Arrive at the airport three hours before the flight, as reccomended on the flight ticket and by the staff in the Thomas Cook high street branch. Went to the checkin desk, showed them all of our tickets and passports and then they weighed out bads/luggage. Everything was fine and they put the bags to on the luggage tray to go on the plane when it arrived...
And then we went through to the deperature lounge, watched some TV, read magazines, ate food and then our flight was here! Right on time, no delays (not even a second, i think).
On the airport lounge screen it said to go to the gate (forgot what it was, but thats not important!). So we did and was put on a bus to go on the tar mack to board the flight.
The staff took a look at our tickets when boarding, which didn't take long and they pointed us to our seat. Since we are a family of four, there wasn't a row for four people, so three of us sat in a three seat row and one member of my family sat just behind us so we could still communicate :-)
Being a first time flyer, i was in a way nervous and excited. Then the announce from the captain came on to watch the safety video and look at the cabin crew demnostrate... So i did and then we were ready for take off! It was so fun! I thought i'd be scared, but nope, it was fun.
And then when we reached cruising attitude the "Fasten your seat belt" sign went off and you were free to go to the toilet and speak to cabin crew. Then the captain came on the announcement again telling us out flight details and whats on offer...
We could buy some headphones for £2 to watch TV programmes on a screen that was shared by every four row (or something similar). I didn't bother buying them as i was enjoying looking down from my seat window and reading my magazines.
Anyway, one hour into the flight we started getting out meals. There were vegeterain meals or regular chicken meals. We even got a desert. The Chicken was pretty nice, gravy didn't seem to nice though. Desert was nice, but i've forgotten most of the stuff i eaten on the flight, but can remember it tasting very good.
They also had an on-board shop, selling model's of the plane we were flying in, beer/wine, toys and a range of our stuff that may interest you. I choose to get the model plane, as it was my first time flying i wanted to remember i was on a Boeing 757 and it was Thomas Cook!!
The Plane was pretty clean, i couldn't find anything that stood out as a health and safety hazard! The flight wasn't crowded much, there were still a few spear seats left.
And then the flight sadly came to an end. So this review has come to and end as theres nothing else to say here.
SUMMARY They have very friendly staff and were hasslefree for me :-) I high reccomend them for families who want a good value holiday abroad.
