TRIP REPORT | Thomas Cook Airbus A321 | London Gatwick - Innsbruck | MT1098 G-TCDE

This Easter I thought of the idea of going on my first skiing holiday in a very long time, and being an aviation enthusiast, flying to Innsbruck was the first thing that came to mind. There are many ski resorts around Innsbruck and the one I stayed at (St Anton am Arlberg) was around an hour's drive from the airport. I chose to fly with Thomas Cook as it was a familiar airline that I hadn't flown on in years so it was nice to revisit them after a while. Surprisingly, it was the cheapest airline flying to Innsbruck at the time, with a one way fare costing about £70 (I returned with easyJet 4 days later). The flight was fully booked but still very enjoyable with stunning views of the Austrian Alps on approach. It was also nice to have such a far forward wing view too as the fares for the seats are the same throughout the cabin all the way up to row 2 (not often you get to sit right at the front for so little). Flight Details: Aircraft: Airbus A321-211 CFM Sharklets Registration: G-TCDE Route: LGW-INN Flight Number: MT1098 Callsign: TCX3AD Seat: 7F Date: 07/04/2018 Cruise Altitude: FL370 Departure Runway: RWY26L Arrival Runway: RWY08 Enjoy! Thanks to Southwest1131 for providing me with the Innsbruck webcam screenshot of my plane as there is no replay function (as far as I know) and it takes photos every 30m (so I was quite lukcy).
