Hi

Would someone be able to tell me what aircraft we will be on, and also what are the best seats in premium ??

London Gatwick - Cancun Mexico
Flying out 23rd April 2011
Flight out: TOM062
Flight back: TOM093

Also is there anyway to find out what the inflight entertainment will be?

Thanks

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

nicki-noodle,

Welcome onboard :tup

LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM062/93) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft and cabin photos, seat plans and current IFE. IFE for March / April (it'll be May / June on your return flight if you're away for 2 weeks) won't be released until the beginning of March. I'll update the list as soon as I get it. Seating is personal preference. There are no 'best' seats. All seats offer the same basic facilities so it's whatever you prefer. Note that row 9 doesn't have a window and there are bulkeads at the front.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Dazbo. I'm not criticising you, you do a great job on this site. I just thought you might be fed up with the same questions time after time, ie all the same questions re flights to CUN which we know are all on 767s.

I did ask a question about the flight hours of the TOM 757s which I enjoyed reading. With the 767s flying to all these exotic places, which I can't afford, I wonder if you could tell me the total hours on them please?

You and me might, but the members asking the questions don't or they wouldn't be asking!

They fly roughly 18 hours per day most days so add about 450 per month to the numbers I gave last time for current hours.

EDIT: While I've got 5 minures, the only current figures I have are for G-OOBM;

G-OOBM: 59084 hours as of 31/12/2009
G-OOBM: 69859 hours as of 31/12/2011

They're doing roughly 5,400 hours per year

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

qatarman,

The preceding flight to MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM144/5) is likely to be MAN-Barbados-MAN (TOM118/9). It changes almost weekly but it's normally the cruise charter on specified dates and there's one the day before yours in March.

Darren

PS Am I the only one not going to Mexico this year!!

greensides,

Welcome onboard

MAN-BGI-MAN (TOM176/7) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including seat plans, IFE, aircraft and cabin photos.

I have now been able to do seat selection and it looks as if TOM176 on 15th April has been switched to the Thomson plane. It's carrying passengers to the Dream Transatlantic crossing so I expect the extra capacity was needed. Pity

It varies depending on your date of travel. It's been a combination of Cancun (TOM048/9) and Holguin (TOM082/3). My reply to nicochick as you quote above was back in October 2011 when the summer schedule was in operation, not the current winter schedule.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks a lot Darren.

I know that they have got rid of IFE now on shorthaul (apart from the PSP's), but I know I did hear a while back that the 767-300ER shorthaul aircraft were keeping IFE due to them having the seatback tv's installed. Is this still the case or is there now no IFE on these aircraft also?

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Fly21,

Even though IFE screens are still installed on the short haul 76W's, as far as i'm aware, they aren't used for IFE.
