Hi all, welcome to the start of my journey down to the Med for a couple of days, commencing with a good 2 hours & 50 minute flight from Gatwick to Malta. This was my first time sampling out Thomas Cook as well, and I must say they are a good airline! Out of the UK's 3 main holiday airlines, Thomas Cook, TUI and Jet2, Cook are definitely my favourite. The aircraft was surprisingly in the old colours as well, and in the old 'Egypt where it all begins livery', which personally I thought was cool. I was expecting a sharklet A321, but hey ho, this was still cool.

I didn't preorder an inflight meal I'm afraid, as I wasn't 100% sure what they'd serve on the flight etc, so I decided to eat in the airport and have a snack onboard, of Nacho Tortilla chips with a Salsa Sauce, and I must say it was lovely. The flight was literally a full flight, excuse the pun, I hardly noticed an empty seat anywhere, so its good to see that this route is doing well.

The flight itself started with a little delay departing due to congestion around the threshold for 08R. We had to wait a while before we were cleared to leave Gatwick. Once we left, we had a lovely 08R departure with some lovely British countryside views before heading south over Brighton and the channel. The approach into Malta was quite hazy, but once we reached land there was some lovely views of the Maltese islands including Gozo! A very hard touchdown as well...
