Yes, several Manchester 767 flights have had to be changed to a 787 for operational reasons. The difference in seats is probably (I'm assuming here) due to the difference in premium seating capacities and one of the systems hasn't been updated.

Hi, I've read a few times that the Thomson 737 fleet is getting a 'cabin refresh'
Do any of the experts here know what the 'refresh' entails? Also if these improvements are likely to be done for the Summer season?

Thanks in advance

have heard that Thomson are altering the seats in the dreamliners something about moving the entertainment screens from the armrests to seat back and removing the larger armrest it was stowed in ,has anyone heard about this please , am flying to Mexico this summer and wasnt looking forward to that large armrest made getting in and out of seats awkward . thank You

Hi petaraven,

Check out Trip advisor .. lots of info on there regarding the updated PE seats on Dreamliner.

Screens in row 1 still remain in the same place (out or arms rests) and according to people who have recently travelled recently on the DL in row 1, there is no longer a foot rest in this row! Rows 2 onwards in PE ... IFE is now seat back although I believe the armrests are still the same? Check out youtube as there is a recent video on there of the new seating ... posted on the 23rd Feb

About 4 aircraft have already been changed. The armrests are different as they were the main problem. They are still fixed, but no longer protrude beyond the end of the seat. The IFE is seatback apart, from Row 1 which remains the same on a pull up arm. There are no foot rests in Row 1. The footrests in the other rows are like pedals which you pull down.

New seat design http://tinyurl.com/p9qm7m7 although not in Thomsons colours etc.

Any chance of finding out if this flight will be operated on a refurbed plane???? weve booked premium club seats and im intrigued to experience the difference to when i flew back in 2014 to Florida

Thanks

Darren is away at the moment, but I'm not sure he'd be able to tell you which aircraft is scheduled so far in advance. The premium cabin seats should all have been changed by 1st May though. The main differences are the centre armrests no longer protrude past the end of the seats, and apart from Row 1, the IFE is seatback.

Thanks for replying Sunaddict

..... Im aware of the changes, was just excited to know if we will be lucky enough for a refurbed plane for 20th April flight out.....

No one will know for definate, Thomson Airways will have an idea which one will be used this far out but a number of things will change it. Aircraft registrations are changing for this weekend with very little (no)disruption. Someone on here may know on 19th.

mozza6910,

It's listed as a Boeing 737-800 as first though.
