Hi im from the UK due to get married at Rose Hall Hilton booked through Thomas Cook as I started with the Riu Tropical Bay Negril changed my mind booked second wedding with Thomas Cook Signature who use Virgin planes and not Thomas Cook planes ( not sure why ) I have seen on trip advisor that some Thomas cook planes start at Gatwick or Heathrow approx 10 AM and then stop in Birmingham to pick up more passengers so check with your Travel Agent.
What is very strange is becuase I booked through Thomas Cook ( in a high street shop not the phone ) Thomas Cooks signature refuse to speak to me directly I must phone the actual shop Thomas Cook and they will phone Thomas Cook Signature they said due to data protection, so won't be doing that again as I can't get quick answers sometimes and the travel agent is not always availible straight away.
I have heard good things about First Choice I did fly with them to Barbados and evrything was very good the captain even came out to say hello to the economy passengers
