The problem is that if you were to get downgraded by say Virgin or BA you not only get your money for the difference in fare back, you get looked after very well in the form of either a handsome amount of airmiles or a future free upgrade or both.

The same can't be said for Thomson unfortunately. You can't hide behind the Ts and Cs forever before it is starting to affect your bottom line - a loss of customers.

taboogirl1,

As far as I know, kids packs are no longer available. There's a dedicated Kidz channel on the seat back IFE and a selection of games.

Yes your girls SHOULD get a children's channel, unless Thomson decide to change the plane. If in doubt, make sure that you take lots of puzzle books/sticker books etc, cos it's a long flight if you find that Thomson have changed the sircraft without telling you, which from the above e-mails seems fairly common these days.
Anyone from Thomsons brave enough to give us pax some answers!!

Dazbo or anyone!!
I'm not happy! I fly on Sunday and it's a 10 hour flight, but as bad luck would have it I now have all the symptoms of getting the COLD FROM HELL!!
I really need some advice on some good over-the-counter medication as a visit to the GP is now not an option! It's mainly something that will help with "blocked ears" as I'm worried about not being able to regulate the ear pressure!
Any good advice there? :cry

We are planning to fly from Newcastle to Punta Cana in June 2011, any ideas which aircraft is used for this route, is it an ex First Choice 2-3-2 config. or Thomson 2-4-2.
Thanks

alfords,

The long haul schedule for NCL doesn't start until April so I can't check as yet. It would normally be an ex-FCA, but I'll confirm it once the flights commence if you remind me.

racegirl3075,

I know the feeling, flying with a cold is not nice when you can't equalise the pressure. The ascent isn't too bad, it's the descent that's the most uncomfortable. A decongestant, something like Sudafed normally does the trick, that's what I normally use.

Thanks all! I'm feeling a bit better (touch wood, and I have invested in some Sudafed as it seems to be the most recommended thing! X x :)

Hi Darren

Going to Puerto Plata on Tues 25th, TOM 122. I see that this have recently been an ex Tom 767 OBYE or OBYG. Have these been converted to long haul config or are they still short haul? Any info on which will be operating on Tues.

Thanks Dave T

Hello Darren [Again!]
I have just received an e-mail from Thomsons, stating that my IB flight POP-LGW on Feb 15th will have 33" pitch seats, but there will be insufficient extra leg-room seats, therefore they have refunded me [and my wife £50].
I am VERY happy that we seem to have avoided the dreaed Arkefly - any idea what plane we will be flying on?
Regards

HGL,

Please quote your flight numbers when requesting aircraft information, there are lots of flights to POP! You'll be flying on the standard long haul aircraft as we've previously mentioned. TOM067/8 are operated by a former First Choice 76W currently. You'll find lots or aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

troublelove,

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM022/3) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER currently in the standard long haul configuration. Odd flights have been changed to Arkfly aircraft but unless you have been notified of a change, it'll be standard long haul. Seat pitch is 33" as standard. You'll find lots or aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).
