Your wellbeing in the air
Water quality - free for all
Enjoy a drink when you're flying with Thomas Cook Airlines but as surgeon John Scurr says, don't over indulge. Remember the effects of alcohol at altitude are heightened.
Pure water can dilute the chances of a clot occurring and as part of our Care in the Air programme we provide an individual bottle of water free of charge to all our passengers on long-haul flights.
Cabin crew on short-haul journeys will be happy to serve water by the glass. Individual bottles of water are also available for sale from the on-board bar.
Cabin air quality - a safe environment
At Thomas Cook we care about the health of our passengers - which is why the air you're breathing right now is much cleaner than the air you will find in most office buildings.
Our cabin air system is designed to provide a safe environment at cruising altitudes that can reach up to 40,000 feet. All our aircraft operate with a mixture of 50 per cent outside air and 50 per cent recycled air.
Cabin air is continuously circulated through a system, which controls and filters the flow and temperature. Heating and cooling systems in most office buildings provide a far lower percentage of outside air - often as low as 20 per cent.
The air in a Thomas Cook aircraft is filtered every two or three minutes, depending on the size of the aircraft, and with the continuous use of outside air it means that the re-circulated portion rapidly disappears.
Our highly efficient air filters are replaced at regular maintenance intervals. They are designed to work more efficiently than those found in office buildings. The air intake at altitude is also likely to be much cleaner than you will find at ground level which means overall that flying with Thomas Cook is like a breath of fresh air!
