auntiewee,

Welcome onboard :tup
I'm mobile at the moment so don't have the aircraft schedule to hand. I'll double check in the morning for you' LBA-KGS-LBA are likely to be operated by a Boeing 737-800 or 757-200. Seating is personal preference, there aren't any 'best' seats. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi Darren, Thanks for the speedy reply. I was a little concerned as after paying £80 for extra leg room I read reviews that said only the seats in row 12 had extra leg room & they don't have a window as 2 each side and row 13 sold as extra leg room only truly is in 13A & F. I worry about everything & wanted to be as informed as poss before booking seat numbers!

auntiewee,

In that case, you're on a Boeing 757-200. Due to the location of the emergency escape slide, row 12 are in pairs with no A or F seat. As that row is by the door, there is only an obsevation port, ie it's a small window. As the seats are inwards, you can't see out of it. Seats on row 13 are as normal and therefore 13A/F are extra legroom with a window. Other seats on that row are standard. Extra legroom on row 32 are in 3's, but have the same port in the door so don't have good views. It's either a window or extra legroom.

I'm mobile at the moment, but MAN-HOG-MAN (TOM094/5) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER from memory.

EDIT: confirmed

Hi Dazbo,
Looking at booking our seats for August going to Cancun TOM196. Are there any seats/rows we should avoid ie reduced leg room, seats that don't recline & no window?
Looking on the web-site there are not that many seats left! :(
Thanks Tracy

Welcome onboard :tup
I doubt Thomson Airways know the specifics yet given all the delays! The first aircraft for Thomson Airways is now due in June 2012 following another delay. It'll then be used on short / medium haul for crew familiarity before entering long haul service in November 2012. The Canaries are thought to be the first flights with Sanford the first long haul, but all that's yet to be revealed as the aircraft hasn't completed flight testing and got it's airworthyness certificates yet. You'll find further details on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi All

I am flying out to Male - International on Sunday 3rd July from London Gatwick on TOM054 returning on TOM055.

I have a couple of questions.

I believe it will be a 767 can you confirm this?

Do you know what the flight is before this so i am able to follow it incase of any delays?

I have also paid for extra legroom seats. Am i able to prebook which ones i would like by calling them or doing it on the net before?

Thanks for your help

Hi
I have recently booked a holiday through First choice going in October 2011 to Punta Cana out of Manchester.
I have paid for extra leg room seats for 2 of us as I am 6' 2", my concern is can I choose my seat without paying extra for the Privilege and also, if I am allocated a bulkhead seat how much room will there be or is it worth paying extra and upgrading to premium?
I have read on some forums that you will not be able to stretch your legs out as the pitch is not that great.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Richard,

Regarding extra legroom seats ..... yes your can book your seat numbers direct with the airline. We are flying out to Egypt on 23rd August and booked our seat numbers last week for our outbound flight, but will need to phone back to weeks later to book the return seats as they have not yet been loaded. Tel number to phone if you don't have it is 0871 231 4143.

Regards,
Pat

LGW-MLE-LGW (TOM054/5) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). The flight before is Sanford (TOM045/6) but it lands in the early hours and day stops so isn't immediately before your flight so plenty of time to absorb any delays. Extra legroom seating is limited to a couple of rows so you don't have much choice realy. You can select the ones you want but given the limited availability, there may not be a choice if other have beaten you to it. You can select seating from 90 days before over the phone and 60 days online.

I can't give specific aircraft details as you've not quoted flight numbers, but it'll be a long haul Boeing 767-300/ER. You can choose your seat by calling the airline 90 days before your departure date or 60 days online. Assuming it's an ex-FCA, row 20 or 28 (depending on assigned aircraft) are the better seats in my opinion as they aren't behind the bulkhead. Even though the bulkhead seats provide extra legroom, with there being a screen in front, you can't stretch your legs out fully like you can with those at the overwing exit row. It's all personal preference really. If all you want is extra legroom, you'll get more room on row 20/28 than you will in premium, but you obviously don't get all the extras premium gives.
