alisonm,

Welcome onboard :tup
MAN-CFU-MAN (TOM2152/3) are operated by a Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul / winglets). You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seat pitch is 29-30". The rear rows have recline, but it may not be full recline.

Hello. I'm going to Sharm from MAN on 8th June on TOM894 at 13:55 and we return on TOM 547 on the 19th.
On my previous 3 trips to Sharm with Thomson we've always gone on a 767 which has the rear seat screens where you can direct your own entertainment - good for longer journeys with kids.
I have since found out that the route was via 757 but, others claim that the aircraft will actually be a 737 800?? Not sure what type at all now. :que
Can anyone tell me the aircraft type and, what type of IFE to expect as Thompson claim that for long haul ( Egypt classed as long) you get the operate your own apparatus.
I'm assuming 5.5hrs on a 737 will be rank :cry
Thanks for any replies.

Hi Newbie01,
Do you work for the airline?
You'll be making Darren et al out of work on here soon!
Don't suppose you've got any inside info on TOM632 on 28/5 and return 4/6 TOM633 as to whether these are 752 or 738?
Cheers.

Thanks for the swift advice newbie01

2 further questions.
A)We're travelling for 11 nights so you may have noticed a different code for the return leg. Will this be 737 800 too?
B)I'm told that some of the 738 have a brand new Boeing Skyline intereror. Do you think I'll be on one of those?

Again, many thanks. ;)

strid,

Welcome onboard :tup
As I mentioned on PPRuNe, your flights (TOM894/547) are operated by Boeing 737-800 (winglets) and Egypt aren't classified as long haul. They are short (medium) haul flights. You'll find extensive aircraft information including seating plans, aircraft and cabin photos, and the current IFE on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Pretty much all the information you're looking for. The 73H's are fine for a flight of that length as they have the slimline Recaro seats fitted and so give you a little extra room over the seats on the short haul 76W's. Only the newly delivered 73H's have the sky interior with the latest just having gone in to service.

That's not a problem considering everything is voluntary and we do it around full time work (don't tell my boss!!)

Hi Darren,
I posted a couple of weeks ago asking what aircraft where used on the following flight:
TOM 714 MAN - DLM
TOM 567 DLM - MAN
You told me that they where operated by a 767 (outbound) and 757 (inbound)
I have just gone on to flight extras to see if i could pre book my seats (I know i'm early!!) and outbound was 47 rows and 2-4-2 so 767, but inbound was 32 rows? Is this right?? Isn't 32 rows a 737-800?
I do actually hope it is a 737 because they are way better than the old 757's
Thanks

pallan,

An odd flight has changed since I got the original aircraft schedule. MAN-DLM-MAN (TOM714/567) are operated by a Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul / winglets) / Boeing 737-800 respectively (the -804 / non-winglets at the moment with the older style seat).
