Flight Only / Airline and Airports

Discussions relating to flight only, airlines and airports.
Can anyone advise when I will be able to go online and select PE seats? We are booked as a package holiday through Thompson. When I go online to manage my booking it comes up as First Choice. We are flying with Thompson Airways on 24th March.

The Thompson airways site seems to indicate we should be able to select seats 90 days before departure. The First Choice site seems to be implying we wont know our details until 6 weeks before departure. Confused!

Any help would be very appreciated thanks

Its 90 days before your return flight. First Choice and Thomson are the same company.

Thanks for your help - I realise they are the same company it was just the differing information on the two sites that was confusing.

Thanks again

JoolzB; you are looking at two different elements of your flight - when you select your seat that's just where you are due to sit on the aircraft - available ~ 90 days before date of return.
The six weeks before figure is when the actual departure time/date is supposed to be "fixed in stone"-but as most people know departure time can be altered after that 6 week date . Some people have reported noticing a changed departure time when they receive their tickets,which can be as late as a few days before flight.

delteach,

LGW-BGI-LGW (TOM034/5) are operated by Boeing 787-8. Aircraft type will be clear once the seat plans opens.

Flying LGW-PUJ on Friday 22 Nov, TOM 50. With just over 3 weeks to go does anyone know which of the Dreamliners it is likely to be?

Thanks,

They are swapped and changed all the time, it's way too early to know. They are all the same other than the name so it makes little difference.

IFE won't be released until next month. I'll update the link when I get it. The seats you've chosen are as good as any others.

Thanks Darren,

Have you any idea about the in flight meals in economy, my hubbie is a fussy get :( unlike me who will eat anything :D and I understand you don't get a choice of beef or chicken now.

Cheers

There was no choice on my flights last month. It was Chicken coq au vin outbound and roast beef diner inbound on my flights. This can of course change.

Thanks Darren,

Great help as usual, hopefully it's the same kind of meals on our flights he would be ok with any of them or similar.

Thanks again

Hi I am booked on flight TOM2754 Manchester to Arrecife on 12 January, returning 19 January flight TOM2755.
We've booked extra legroom seats and have booked 8A and 8B on both flights.

Can you tell me what sort of plane this will be, my husband is a very nervous flyer and likes to know all the info.

Thank you :)
