I know it sounds strange but I once went to Cancun on the First Choice aircraft from Manchester and they only had less then 20 ppl in premium so about 40 empty seats! which was great for us! At that time one of the Stewards said it was normally a Thomson aircraft. So either the Thomson was in for a Service or was stuck somewhere else. This year I'm flying fom Glasgow to Punta Cana and in Premium (as always) and there are still 8 seats left and that is the Thomson aircraft

lol ( I checked with looking at booking a flight only and seeing how many I could get on Premium) The description you gave with 36" legroom etc is the standard thing they advertise although Thomson aircraft have 37" legroom. I would imagine that the Premium for Cancun is about £249?

Hi Darren
We are flying out of BHX on 4th June Tom7620 and have just recieved flight tickets. which give a different time to that on my last comunication with Thomson and that in the brochure it was 07.25 and is now 08.25 i fully understand that we must go with the ticket info but i would have expected a note from Thomson about the change any ideas why
Thanks

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Graeme,

Well that sort of, sorts it out :think

I was told that if we waited we might see a slight reduction in the flight cost (about £100) if they couldn't sell enough seats but that due to APL the Premium upgrade couldn't reduce much. I'll assume that a Thomson airliner will be used and, as I'm booking 6 seats, I'll book asap to ensure we're in that cabin.

Oh, the cost per person (LGW-CUN) for Premium is £245

Thanks for your help

John

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks Dazbo, will have to see what happens on Monday. Hopefully if the flight isn't fully booked, hubby & I will have a row of 3 seats like we did on Easyjet last year. Worst case is that we're separated by a few rows in which case S will be with my parents and we'll have H with us.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Gatwick-Cancun is always a First Choice 767.

Manchester-KOS will be a short haul plane, without checking will be either an A320/1 or 757/737 all have same seat pitch and cofiguration(3-3) with in aisle tv monitors so makes no difference if ex- First Choice or Thomsonfly.

LOLLY,

MAN-KGS-MAN (TOM2680/1) are operated by an Airbus A321-200. It's a First Choice aircraft as Thomsonfly never operated these. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi all

A question regarding the following flight, if you'd be so kind as to reply please:

Thomson Airways TOM772
Depart: Manchester 29/07/11 13:00
Arrive: Sharm El Sheikh 29/07/11 19:35

What is the seating config / pitch please? I thought I'd read it somewhere as 2-4-2 but the online seat reservation map thingy released today on the booking website shows as 3-3.

Many thanks

Gryph

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Flights to Sharm are classed as Mid Haul desinations so the standard seat pitch for shorthaul applies unless you upgrade to extra legroom seats. 3-3 is the common seat configuration for these destinations and occasionally 2-4-2. Just my general knowledge of Thomson, not expert advice

Can i ask, is the booking service your using the 'Thomson Flight Extras' website?
Thanks

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Guys,

Can you advise me whether the Birmingham to Cancun service (April 2012) is nonstop or, does it serve another UK airport before its onward flight across the Atlantic?

Chloe

That is the correct website.

Thank you, main reason I asked was flew last year, same time give or take a few weeks, same airports with Thomson and it was 2-4-2 (but a Sunday).

Many thanks

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

pizzajohn,

The flight is non-stop generaly. Prior to winglets, flights operated via Manchester for refuelling as the runway at BHX wasn't long enough to allow the aircraft to take-off with the required fuel. It didn't serve MAN, it was purely for technical reasons on the outbound flight as Manhesters runways are much longer.

Cheers in advance.

If it's a 757 it will be gullivers travels or Rango outbound and big mommas like father like son or gnomeo and Juliet both dependant how many little ones are onboard.

If it's a 767 both the above will play each way and No strings attached on the outbound and The dilemma on the way home in addition to movies above.
