Hi Darren,

Just wondering whether we're going on an ex Thomson, or First choice on TOM194 / 195 Mcr to POP. We actually booked it through the First choice shop but think it was a Thomson brochure.

Admittedly it isnt until 14 October, but we've booked premium seats and wasnt sure if its the 2-3-2 or 2-4-2 layout. although there's 4 of us, i'd prefer to sit 2 and 2 rather than have the middle rows.

First time ever for flying long haul - 4 hours to Turkey kills me, so i am hoping that the legroom is all its cracked up to be.

many thanks Bev

sarahbecky,

It makes little difference if you've booked with First Choice or Thomson, it's the same airline (Thomson Airways) following their merger. TOM194/5 are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. Both premium cabins are 2-3-2, it's only the economy cabins that differ in terms of configuration. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

The aircraft (G-OBYD) operating GLA-PUJ-GLA (TOM742/3) comes in from Sanford, Orlando (TOM796/7).

Thank you. It means the aircraft will be there for 3 hrs giving some time for delays etc.

Hi,

We're flying TOM4252 LGW - TFS on June 21st. Seating plan shows it as being a 738, just wondering what 738's are operating out of LGW and if any of the new ones with the Sky interior are likely to be operating this flight? Return on the 4253 on 28th...

Thanks in advance!

scottk,

Welcome onboard :tup
I'm mobile at the moment so I don't have everything to hand, but the newest 73H's weren't LGW based. They aren't much different than the standard ones though, same basic configuration. I posted the bases to Strid I think it was a couple of pages back.

Hi, it might be a bit early to tell yet, but do you know if:

Leaving: Thomson Airways TOM836

Depart: Manchester 25/07/11 13:55
to
Arrive: Sharm El Sheikh 25/07/11 20:30

Returning: Thomson Airways TOM773

Depart: Sharm El Sheikh 05/08/11 20:35
to
Arrive: Manchester 06/08/11 01:25

Are going to be 767's as they have been previously? The seating chart looked worryingly like a 757 and I dont think I'm going to enjoy that for 5+ hours.....

Thanks in advance!

There are no B767's to SSH this year

uno28,

Seating is personal preference and they all offer the same basic facilities so it makes little difference. Row 37 has windows.

RaulDuke,

MAN-SSH-MAN (TOM836/773) are operated by a Boeing 757-200 / 737-800 (winglets) respectively. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Both these types are more than adequate for this flight. I did MAN-LXR-MAN last year on the 752 with the return being 6 hours 36 mins with the stronger than normal head wind.

The sunday flight was a 767 until bookings collapsed following the unrest and three new hotels not opening on time

Thanks very much for the info, I'm sure the aircraft will be fine, I just enjoyed the 767's IFE, and at 6'4", those extra few inches of legroom make a massive difference lol! :)

RaulDuke,

Seat pitch on the 757 and 737 is the same as on the short haul 767's. If anything, there's more knee-room on the 737's as they have the slimline Recaro seats fitted. The 757 on your route is currently an ex-FCA but if this changes to an ex-TOM at any stage, these also have the slimeline Recaro's.
