Overseas Timetable
To ensure that the timetables are as up-to-date as possible, the Thomas Cook Overseas Timetable is published six times per year at the beginning of January, March, May, July, September and November. Each edition contains a special feature covering a particular topic or area of the world (see below), giving much extra information.
An expanded twice-yearly Independent Travellers Edition is also on sale through book shops and the Thomas Cook Publishing website - click on Overseas ITE in the menu for more details.
