Thomas Cook Airbus A330-243 | London Gatwick to Holguin *Full Flight*

[@justaviation4764]

omg going to the same airport,same plane and same place tomorrow! Can't wait

[@ethanfeest7573]

I've been to Cuba for 6 years running we go to the playa pesquero hotel an hours drive from holguin, it's a fantastic country and I love it! We are going again at the end of July from Manchester with Thomas Cook. I love this video it's made me even more excited for the flight back

[@Gameflyer001]

I stayed at that hotel almost 8 years ago. A hurricane damaged some of the property about a week before my arrival, but it was already being cleaned up (almost fully done so by the time I left Holguin). One advantage of this was that most of the tourists cancelled their trips there, so during much of the time I was there, just 135 tourists (mainly Canadian like myself), had the 4,000+ occupancy hotel virtually to ourselves. It was a good experience and I wouldn't mind going again.

one very good flight , Thanks Matt

[@AndyThorne23]

Excellent video as always Matt, great description as well, Andy

[@ianoreilly8468]

I'm literally home from Cuba! Must have just missed ya, hope you enjoy it!

[@LazyGamerScotland]

I love the size of the a330 at this airport lol lovely video as always mate!

[@JelmersAviation]

Really awesome video mate!

[@Gameflyer001]

I flew from YYZ-HOG in October 2008; I've never forgotten the "Socialismo O Muerte" sign painted the whole way across the fence opposite the runway.

[@TheKiteless]

We're flying to Holguin in September, like you with Thomas Cook (but from Manchester). What surprises me is the final approach. It's like flying into RAF Cosford but with a longer runway!I didn't expect that.

[@jackgaming1675]

OMG DID YOU GO ON THE 26TH

[@meshalnorton909]

Excellent video

[@corybrayshaw9927]

My favorite plane with those wonderful Trent 700 engines

[@aarorodger1572]

Hello, I heard you can see Manhatten Skyline on the trip back from Holguin to Gatwick, you need to include this on the night time return flight.

[@Alex-om1be]

Nice video 🇨🇺

[@robbiesharp9864]

Hi there, great video! May I ask what the cabin pressure is like on this plane? I'll be travelling on this flight with slight breathing difficulties. Should I be fine??

[@jackgaming1675]

Omg 09:30 that monarch plane its so weird to think that that a321 would be in service by thomas cook

[@DIMITRICAYENNE]

good job

[@kimilesnipez]

what hotel did you stay in? i remember doing this flight 4 times on the Thomas cook a330 but we had to go from Gatwick - Havanna then to Holguin as the plane didn't have enough fuel, but its a long flight, especially when u have to get off the plane and wait at the airport for 2 hrs, they even made the airline take all the luggage off the plane, just to put them back on again! I also remember the runway being extremely bumpy, was it?

[@NewcastleFlyer]

I prefer the look of these to the 787

[@owenbarclay5743]

I'm going to Cuba next June with Thomas cook in premium class, how was this flight?

[@Tangobrav01]

They just started service to Boston on the a332

[@robinozayee8207]

How long was the flight

[@AviationLBA]

A little over 9 hours.

[@EchoAlphaRomeo]

This the same one you sent pictures of to Simon, chief..?

[@luluu1922]

I hope there is spotting video

[@conor7419]

i have a trip booked with thomas cook and pre booked 13k is their no window at all for this seat (couldnt quite see from your clip but saw in your comments) i may look at changing my seat thanks

[@TrainPlaneHub]

No there's no window at all D:

[@conor7419]

ohh well i think i will be changing my seat booking then trhanks for that

[@conor7419]

was there a widow on the rows behind your seat?

[@TrainPlaneHub]

conor MWH Yeah this was taken from row 14. There's one window. You do still kinda need to lean forward to see out of it.

[@conor7419]

so if i rebook for row 15 it should be okay?

[@flaviobusellu7019]

i love it

[@deathbat1157]

So it took you 53 minutes to fly from London to Cuba!? Wow!!! Full flight lol

[@harleyrobertson5646]

Death Bat115 it means the main features of the flight (your telling me you would sit through an 8 hour video?)

[@alvexok5523]

@@harleyrobertson5646 Yes, it's safe to say that he took breaks from videoing, stopping to go to the toilet, to watch movies, to eat (aside from taking a quick video of dinner first), and to sleep. There were numerous noticable skips in the video where he took his breaks. I agree, 8 hours would be too long to watch.

[@michaelflaherty1358]

I thought all the Thomas Cook A330 fleet had been consigned to an air museum because they are all old.

[@AviationLBA]

What a brainless comment.

[@michaelflaherty1358]

@@AviationLBA made that comment "three" years ago and I stand by it.

[@AviationLBA]

@@michaelflaherty1358 You thought that a fleet of still relatively young A330s would be sent to museums ‘because they are old’?

[@GearGrinder1133]

dude if you have just arrived (We have came back today ) Honestly your flight is basically delayed it takes ages for them to open the gates

[@craigeagle9209]

Takes ages for the aircraft to get to cruise altitude

[@liamphilbin7256]

zzzzzzzz🌰

[@lilly-maelawton8074]

we used to fly with thomas cook when i were younger but now we fly with ryanair i cant really remember much from my thomas cook experiance except from ordering a kids meal pizza but when it came it came with spicy pepperoni and i hope they have sorted that other tahn that i liked it but i still préféré ( prefer ) ( ive just been doing french ) Ryanair

[@macymcgonigle5781]

Lilly-mae Lawton Did u no Ryan air has had 12 crashes in U.K.

[@AviationLBA]

@@macymcgonigle5781 Ryanair has never had a fatality, what are you on about?

[@jackgaming1675]

5:31 what the heck is that sound

[@AviationLBA]

It was just the slats being extended. Look at the leading edge of the wing.

[@michaelhealey9538]

My Volvo 340's almost exactly 30 years older than this plane (its 30th is in September) :)

[@Ajsski99]

i hate it when people clap on landing its so dumb

[@chrisryan1346]

Soo true lol

[@joeeee4468]

IKR cuase what if the plane overuns

[@chileanyways1275]

Not really people are happy they have landed at their destination

[@chileanyways1275]

And because they got there safe

[@andrewsebastianrothgarnant350]

They only do it on low-cost and charter flights. But you´re right it´s so dumb. Do they also clap when the train driver stops at a station... No. So why do it when the aircraft lands?
