allymc1,

You can take the kilt etc in hand luggage providing it's within size and weight limits for hand luggage and you comply with restricted items, ie there's nothing sharp on it. Cabin crew can't hang it up for you though. It's best to put it in hold luggage if you can.

Think those 767s may be getting a bit old chaps?

What makes you say that? They are well maintained airframes with another 10 years in some of them yet! The interiors, particularly on the ex-FCA's are starting to get a little tired, but apart from that, there's plenty of life in them yet. If everything goes to plan, they'll be starting to be phased out and replaced by 787-800's starting May 2011.

767 fleet age is between 10 and 17 ys ..still quite young for a modern airframe

My post was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek.I think the average TOM 767 age is around 18 years so there is a fair bit of life in them.

Darren,have to agree the ex FC stuff is looking a bit tired but I doubt they will re-fit them now.

I look forward to flying on one of the 787s it certainly has been a long wait.Watched the first flight online and it looks a beauty.

Welcome onboard :tup
Your flights are operated by a Boeing 767-300/ER in the Thomsonfly configuration. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (see link below). The flight routes via Orlando Sanford for refuelling.

We are going with Thomson from Gatwick on 27 January 2011 to Havana, we return from Montego Bay. The flight code is 50200. Does anyone know what aircraft this will be? I am looking for a seat plan to look at the premium seating arrangements. Thanks.

sulu,

50200 is a flight reference number from the brochure rather than an actual flight number. If you're flying in to Varadero then transferring to Havana (I suspect you will be, about 2 hour transfer by road), flights are operated by a Boeing 767-300/ER, the same for your return from Montego Bay. If you're flying direct to Havana from Gatwick, it won't be with Thomson Airways and will be with Virgin (747-400) or Cubana (Ilyushin Il-96-300). Thomson Airways don't operate to Havana International. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (see below) including seat plans for Thomson Airways and Virgin.

Thank you for that information. I will now check with my local Thomson office who assured me yesterday the flight was with Thomsons and a direct flight to Havana.

PS
Thomson insist they are flying into Havana next year. The flight number is TOM 088 out, TOM 087 return, the airport code is HAV, Varadero being VAL, according to them. They cannot confirm the type of aircraft yet.
