DSA-AYT-DSA (TOM438/9) are now showing as a Boeing 737-300. G-THOP is DSA based at the moment. Further aircraft information is on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

hi all, we booked our holiday in september 2010 to turkey in june. initially there was 5 of us in the booking and it stated that we had a baggage allowance of 20kg, however my sister and her son have since booked up to go with us (this was done in april) they were added on to our booking, so will they have the 20kg allowance or 15kg? i have emailed thomson and as yet have not received a reply. ill be grateful for any of your opinions. :) thanks

hildyl,

Baggage allowance will be stated on your booking confirmation and tickets when you get them. I would imagine the two added at a later date would have the lower allowance as they booked after the change, but Thomson will confirm it.

There's 13 of us going to Sensatori Sharm in 2 weeks.
12 of us booked in August and got 23kg, then the 13th just recently booked when the allowance would have been 20kg.
I think he should have had 20kg as per current rules but he got 23kg like the rest of us.

Littlebit,

TOM512/3 are operated by a Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul / winglets). You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seating is personal preference. Your seats are located at the front of the centre cabin and are fine.

Hi Darren, now the summer season has started I wondered if you could confirm the aircraft type for my flights to Sharm el Sheikh. Flight TOM894/5 on 1st June please. I know you previously answered this for me and said it was planned to be a 757. I have just been on a website called pprune and someone (not me) asked re the aircraft for this flight and was told it would be a 737-800. Maybe the aircraft was downgraded due to lower demand for Egypt at the moment?
Thanks in advance.

TOM894/5 are now listed as a Boeing 737-800 (winglets). G-FDZA is based there at the moment.

Does TOM 7304 (25/05/11) now show as 737-800 as looking at BHXSPOTTER site last week it seemed to show G-FDZG doing that flight.

Hi Darren,

We are flying to Paphos from Manchester on 24th July with First choice, I beleive the plane will be a 767- 304 but do you know the registration of the plane that will be used.

Thanks in advance for your invaluable help as always

Chris.

chriskim,

It's way too early to know the assigned registration as the aircraft are rotated regularly. I'll know the day before. It makes no difference as they are all the same inside.

wasginge,

That's looking like the case, yes. There's been a bit of juggling since the schedule was printed.

Thanks Darren.
The 738s are a bit newer.

Hi Darren,
Just been checking the ACARS logs for TOM632 LGW<>SSH for the last two Saturdays (we're off on the 28th).
Looks like FDZF and CDZM - both 738s operated those flights!!
Certainly looks as if getting a 767 like last year if out of the question.
I wonder if being half term week we will still get a 757 - but, haven't been on a 737 for years!!!
Other than age - is there any difference inside (and obvious length of the tube!!)?

rhodgreen,

There are 2 versions of the 737-800's. There are 4 non-wingletted (G-CDxx) and 12 of the newer wingletted (G-FDxx). The FD's have the newer interiors with slimline Recaro seats giving you more room for the same seat pitch. The CD's have the older style seats and aren't quite as roomy. Apart from that, they're all the same. They're the same seats that are fitted to the ex-Thomsonfly 757-200's with the older generation seats in the ex-First Choice.
