TRIP REPORT | Thomas Cook: The Last Flight | Mallorca to East Midlands

Thomas Cook trip report from Palma de Mallorca to East Midlands, one of their last flights, onboard an Airbus A321, on a very sunny and hot morning in Mallorca.
A lovely Thomas Cook flight that will be my little tribute to this huge and well-known airline, which included the last flight of the captain that came out of the cockpit to say goodbye.
We took off from Mallorca towards the Mediterranean sea, allowing us to have some amazing views of the island. Then we flew over Barcelona, the Pyrenees, Toulouse, northern France, the English Channel, London and, finally, East Midlands airport.
From OnBoardHD, I would like to give my best wishes to all Thomas Cook staff on these difficult days. Best of luck!

Never flew with Thomas Cook but that doesn't diminish the sense of loss, injustice and a darn great stitch up as Condor have managed to survive. RIP Thomas Cook 1841-2019

[@OnBoardHD]

I agree and understand you. I just flew twice with them, never on a holiday package, and I really feel sorry for all those workers that have lost their jobs in a blink of an eye... Really sad. At least... I had this flight and tried to make this video as a little tribute to all Thomas Cook workers.

[@ciudad-del-mar]

I agree. Sadly I didn't get to fly on them either, but I was on an A321 which flew with them until a few days ago; I flew on it aboard Monarch, then it transferred to Thomas Cook - it was brand new when I flew on it!

Why rip?! It's not first crisis in his history. Everything will be okay

The Captain Retired then the airline went bust few days later great timing in my books

[@OnBoardHD]

Haha that's true :D

[@leexgx]

at least he get full benefits pay due to leaving before the company officially went bankrupt (i assume that's how it works legally), all these people wont get anything not even likey this months pay , apart from the pension unless they screwed with that as well (other places seem to say the pensions is secure) thomas cook should of closed all storefronts years ago, this is 10 year or longer in the making as this is extreme disrespect to a company and its past founders that's been running for over 100 years to fail like this, i posted new message on this video (might get spam blocked due to link to other youtube channel video) to another video that has the person recording himself showing his phone of the bankruptcy and then the cabin crew doing last tannoy over the system very sad for the flight crew witch probery happened on the last 10-20 return flights that was in air at the time when everything happened (i doubt there was any outbound flights on going as they would want them all to be in the UK or returning back to uk)

Another dark day for aviation industry.I heard about Adria too.Thomas Cook was an expert in vacation all over the world.I can't understand what had happened but I believe that bad management was the main problem.I am glad for you you had this flight before the disaster Lucas.Nice farewell video.Wonderful work as always my friend

[@OnBoardHD]

Totally agree. A really sad week with Thomas Cook and Adria, but even more with TC, as it was the oldest travel agency in the whole world: 176 years!! I would say that Brexit played a huge part on this outcome: uncertainty about if the travel packages were going to be able to happen on a Brexit scenario made lots of people to not buy them till the last minute when this kind of deals makes less money to the tour-operators... Glad that you've enjoyed the video, Yannis. :)

[@AB-im4bz]

I don't think brexit had anything to do with it, it's a cliché and everything that goes is blamed on brexit that didn't happen yet. They were in the same situation in 2011 or 2012. Nevertheless its very sad for such a massive group to go. Adria just temporarily suspended flights but who knows if they'll ever fly again

Una auténtica pena. Y más tratándose de un gigante como Thomas Cook que, además, era la agencia de viajes más antigua de toda Europa con 176 años de servicio. Sobrevivió incluso a 2 Guerras Mundiales, pero el Brexit, la competencia de las low-cost y la subida del precio del petróleo han podido con ella. =(

Absolutely agree. It's really sad that they are gone... Anyway, what it's for sure is that another airline (or airlines) will take their place and the offer will continue to be fine on their routes. This will be visible as soon as the bankruptcy administration will decide to sell Thomas Cook slots (especially those in Gatwick, Manchester... and other busy airports).

I wonder how much of Mallorca's economy was not dependent on this airline. It's a small airport, but full of Thomas Cook planes. Thanks for the video and cheers from Brazil.

[@OnBoardHD]

Mallorca a small airport? 😅 It's the 3rd in Spain and bigger than many European capital airports. 😅😅 Of course they are gonna suffer, at least in the short-term. However, im sure that other airlines will take Thomas Cook place. There was not a problem of a lack of demand, so no worries, airplanes will come back 😊👍

Muchas gracias, Alejandro. Me alegra mucho que te haya gustado tanto. Lo cierto esque Thomas Cook como tal, no volverá a volar. No al menos con ese nombre exacto.

Veremos si son capaces de remodelar todo y volver al Reino Unido. Desde luego, Reino Unido ( y muchos otros países en Europa) necesitan un tour operador como Thomas Cook. Saludos!

What a stitch up job ive ever seen never flew with Thomas Cook but that doesn't diminish the sense of loss for the team. What ive seen on you tube what a great team they where

Interesting landing. I assume that the pilot was talking about Autoland when he said that the airplane would be landing itself. After the autopilot started the flare, just before touchdown, the aircraft floated as it entered the ground effect, which arrested the vertical speed of the aircraft a few feet above the ground. The autopilot responded by lowering the nose/angle of attack, which in turn made the aircraft settle on the ground firmly. Very interesting!

[@sallyangelworks9047]

A great documentation for history. Sorry for all of those who lost their jobs and I hope they find other jobs soon.

I never flew Thomas Cook but I love it

I just flew twice with them (both videos on the channel already) and, although in my opinion, they were not the absolute best (probably because they were trying to reduce expenses already), I've enjoyed a lot both flights. So sad about what happened... =(

Una lástima que no fueras el jueves desde gran Canaria a Londres con tomas cook hubieras ido en un A380 que llevo a todos los afectados por thomas cook, es la primera vez en la isla que llega este avión, si hubieras ido ese día 5e hubieras llevado una sorpresa inesperada:)

@@arekj7006Or blame the people in charge who got millions in bonuses! Peter Fankhauser the CEO of Thomas Cook in the last 5 years alone took home over £8.3 million in bonuses. But yeah let's blame Jonhson, who at the time was only PM for a few months.

[@ismaelrodriguez8078]

Thomas Cook la comprará algún inversor. Y seguiremos viéndola volar. Estoy seguro de eso. Un saludo😁

[@OnBoardHD]

Thomas Cook no tiene solución. Ya está en proceso de liquidación. Vender sus activos es la única forma de que algunas de sus deudas puedan pagarse. Ascendían a más de 2.000 millones de libras. Totalmente insostenible. Por su parte, Condor y Thomas Cook Scandinavia, filiales de Thomas Cook, siguen siendo rentables y no han quebrado. A esas sí que las seguiremos viendo. Al menos por ahora. =)
