Seats Together (exc Thomas Cook Airlines)

You can reserve seats together on selected other charter airline flights at the time of booking for charges of up to ?20 per person. They aim to sit parties together, side by side. However, in some circumstances, depending on the size of the group and/or configuration of the aircraft, sitting together could be either side of the aisle or directly behind one another.

Extra Leg Room

If you like to stretch out, you can reserve one of the limited number of seats offering additional leg room, prices start from only ?17.50 per person per flight. Short Haul flights are under 3 hours duration. Medium Haul flights include the following destinations: Malta, Turkey, Canary Islands, Cyprus, Greece and the Greek Islands. Long Haul flights are 7 hours and over. Company and Civil Aviation Authority regulations apply. If you are traveling with another airline, ask your travel agent for details of other airlines services.

Carriage of Infants (0-24months)

Infants must be over 6weeks (2 weeks with Thomas Cook Airlines) to travel by air and must either sit on an adults lap or occupy a car seat (infants must be at least 6 months to occupy a car seat).

If choosing to sit the infant on an adults lap, please see Child Price Conditions for prices.

If choosing to occupy a car seat, we recommend you contact the relevant airline for regulations for the car seat. If traveling with Thomas Cook Airlines contact Customer Services & Sales Team on 0844 855 0515 for information. Customers choosing this option will need to book a flight seat for the infant. The price of a seat for an infant will usually be the adult seat only price (but there may be discounts available).

Ask your travel agent to access Airfares at the time your booking is made for the current seat only price. Unfortunately we cannot offer this service on holidays including Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

It is an airline regulation that children aged 2 or over must occupy a seat. Children aged 2 or over on the RETURN flight must pay the appropriate child price of the holiday.
