Grahamy,

The aircraft operating NCL-AYT-NCL (TOM850/1) comes in from Alicante (TOM1210/1). I can't give a likely registration until the day before as aircraft are rotated weekly for maintenance and other operational reasons. In May for example, the 4 flights were operated by 4 different aircraft. Interestingly, the flight on 25th May was operated by G-OBYE (76W), I'm assuming due to a technical problem.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.
My husband is very nervous about flying and last time we went to Cyprus we were fortunate to have seat back tv's from which he followed sat nav all the wasy. It seemed to help him.
Do you think it better to pay for reserved seating as these aircraft seem to be fairly cramped looking at the reviews?

Lakeside1,

Seating is personal preference. With reserved seating, do you mean pre-booked seating together or Select Your Seat? If you aren't bothered where you sit, then you might as well save the money and just sit in whatever seats you are allocated. If you want the peace of mind of sitting together, pre-booking seating together may be something to consider. If you want to sit in a specific seat, then you may choose to select your seat. Bear in mind in terms of seat pitch, all seats are the same other then extra legroom seats.

Darren,
The flight on the 25th may ( 1 day late ) departed from Manchester due to the ash cloud that affected Newcastle airport. That would explain the 767

MAN-MAH-MAN (TOM2656/7) is showing on the schedule as operated by a Boeing 757-200. However, flight logs are showing flights through May were operated the larger Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul / winglets) so it may have changed due to demand. G-OBYE/G have been operating it.

That would make me a very happy chappy if it was the 767, I presume the planned aircraft can change at any time, but hey it's only 2 hours or so so I'm sure I can cope if not...

Thanks Darren :D

I never thought of that, although I can't see why a 76W would be used as it's not like there's more than one flight so the extra capacity wouldn't have been needed to AYT.

gazwag,

It's only row 9 that doesn't have a window. You'll have an evening meal and a continental breakfast outbound. I don't know what the current menu is as it's changed since I last travelled with them. The main meal will be a choice of beef or chicken though.

Hi we are flying to Bodrum from East Mids on 1st Aug flight no TOM 448 and TOM 449 on return.

Please could you tell me what plane we will flying on, the layout/seats and if the plane will have in flight entertainment?

Last year we had excellent flights to Bodrum from Manchester - the IE kept our 4 kids busy for the whole of the flight with the individual screens on the back of the seats, hoping for more of the same this year

Cheers

lou_uk,

EMA-BJV-EMA (TOM448/9) are operated by a Boeing 737-800 (winglets). You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft photos, seat plans and IFE information. Your flight from MAN last year was operated by the much larger Boeing 767-304/ER (328 seats). The 737-800 is a much smaller aircraft (189 seats) but nice to fly on.

Welcome onboard :tup
It's a little early to comment on any flight changes as I don't have a copy of the Winter 11 aircraft schedule as yet. Just because the flight isn't showing online doesn't mean it's been cancelled or changed, it could be that it's full so has been removed from the system. If you are concerned about any changes to your booking, it might be worth a quick call to whoever you booked with to check or if you have a Thomson / First Choice booking reference, online.

I have contacted them and was told they are thinking of changing the flight but were dealing with Summer changes at the moment.This doesn't help us as the new flight times for the 7th are after midnight on the return journey,and we have an infant travelling with us,and we also have booked an airport hotel for the 9th too.Do you think this means they definately will change the flight date?
Reply
l158broxi,

Your hands are tied really. If they are thinking of changing the flight, you probably won't be able to establish anything until it's changed (assuming it will be) and you are contacted. I can only give you the information once the winter schedule is released (I normally get it in about August) but if things are changed after it, the information I have may be out of date. You'll just have to wait for a couple of months and call again for any firm changes or until you are contacted.
