"The flights should be operated by Boeing 767-300/ER, certainly the return is"

The return flight is now on flightextras but it is shown as 42 rows of 8 seats being 336 seats - all 42 rows have 8 seats - no variations - any idea which this plane is please ? seats are 2 -4-2 . Flight TOM0079 on 23rd Dec - BGI to Gatwick - thanks. I thought there would be some premium seats and it does not show which are emergency exit or bulkhead seats.

Bizarrely the outbound flight which they are selling still is shown as no seats left to reserve and I have not reserved mine !. This is TOM4794 going to Lisbon from Gatwick for the Thomson Dream package cruise.

The outbound is a 757, the inbound an Arkefly 767, it will be one of their own aircraft not the ex-tfly aircraft they are currently leasing. so the seat layout is slightly different. It wont have 336 seats,but 265 I think its all economy but 2-3-2 throughout.

Thanks - I got this seating plan so it looks like on of these ! Thanks for taking the trouble to answer.

As the flights are cruise only - the outbound if it is full will be 233 seats so the return flight will have about 30 empty seats as a minimum !

It doesn't usually work out that way, maybe some customers fly from an alternative uk airport or they put a second flight on so it will be the outbound flight that is half empty. Ive been on the first inbound flight before and its been chocka block

Hi Dazbo. Been tracking Tom022 from LGW-CUN as I will be on it 5 weeks today! :-)
See its being operated by G-00AN today. Just wondering when you will be posting up the IFE for Nov/Dec AND any idea what the good Thomson people will be feeding me! We have 33-34-35 AB for our party! Can't wait! :-)

racegirl3075,

IFE is released at the beginning of the month when it's changed (every 2 months) so I'll update the link on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) at the beginning of November. Meals are normally a choice of chicken or beef.

Hiya!

Just booked our holiday for next year, off to Mexico!!

We're flying MAN-CUN, 26th feb-12th march TOM 122/3. Just wondering if we will be on an ex FCA or TOM?

Also booked premium, can you let us know which seats don't have windows so we know not to book them?

Thanks!

chelle_375,

MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM 122/3) are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. Row 9 doesn't have a window in premium. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our what Aircraft? guide (link below).

fairynuff,

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-AYT-LGW (TOM286/7) are scheduled to be operated by Boeing 767-300/ER (short haul) until 30th October, although the flight on the 16th October was operated by Boeing 737-800 for some reason. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).
