lbreslin,

It should be an ex-FCA but ask again closer to the time as it sometimes reverts to an ex-TOM through the summer.

Hi,

travelling Thursday next week on TOM7450/1 BHX-HER-BHX.

anyone know what aircraft type this will be. I thought it was a 737-800 but looked on a flight tracking website at the same flight yesterday and it said 757-200.

Thanks.

BHX-HER-BHX (TOM7450/1) are operated by a Boeing 757-200.

Hello, I am due to travel to Cuba in July this year and I'm wondering whether i'll be flying on a Thomson plane or an ex First Choice. Just asking cause I'm considering upgrading to premium class and I've been told the premium class in the ex first choice planes is better than the thomson planes. Flight details are below;

MAN - HOG - departing 09:15 arriving at 14:00 TOM182
HOG - MAN - departing 17:20 arriving at 07:15 TOM183

If you could help your a life saver! Thanks :)

chloe_wrench,

Welcome onboard :tup
You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including cabin photos. The premium cabins are similar, but with subtle differences. The main difference is the size (63 seats on FCA, 31 on TOM). The position of the tray tables is different (seat back on TOM, arm rest on FCA) and the seat pitch is 37" on the TOM and 36" on the FCA. You also have mood lighting on the FCA. In terms of service and IFE though, they are the same so it's only those minor differences and a couple of others. I wouldn't say one is better than the other, just slightly different. The ex-FCA 767-300/ER's are very nice aircraft, I'm off on my 7th round trip with them to the Maldives later this year!

Hi we are flying Manchester/Corfu on 3rd June 2011 on Tom 2518.
Any idea of aircraft please, also do you know when Thomson will be using their new aircraft out of Manchester this coming year?
Also thinking of ordering meals, has anyone had the low fat or gluten free meals and what do you get. Thanks

Vivien-Marie,

MAN-CFU-MAN (TOM2518/9) are operated by Boeing 737-800 (winglets). Thomson won't be using any new aircraft as such. The only additions to the fleet are some new Boeing 737-800 (winglets), but these are only the same as what they are currently operating on selection routes. More details here. I've never tried the low fat or gluten free meals so I can't help on that. BY-TOM-AMM-FCA might be able to help out their. The 787's aren't now due until summer 2012 after Boeing announced further delays, and will enter long haul operations from November 2012. It'll be used on medium haul for a few months before entering long haul service.

Yes! G-PJLO operated the first TOM182/3 (MAN-HOG-MAN) of the summer season.

Shellwalsall,

Yes, the flight will have IFE. Details are on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). I can't give specific aircraft information without more details though as there are lots of flights to AYT, eg departure airport and flight numbers.
