racegirl3075,

For some of the planned ones, it was up to 2 months. If it's a last minute change due to a technical problem for example, you'll normally be told at check-in. The Arkfly are planned changes though as far as I know. The short haul configured aircraft aren't as bad as you imagine. Remember, these were the norm for Thomsonfly up to 2008, it hasn't always been like that. First Choice (before the merger) raised the bar when they introduced Star Class in late 2005. I've been across the pond on them many times and although they are far from ideal, they weren't all that bad. You just had to get up and have a strech of your legs more often. Many of the scheduled airlines only offer 31" seat pitch on trans-atlantic services in economy. We're spoilt with 33"!

EDIT: Just looking at the ACARS log for TOM060 this morning, it's operated by G-OOBK, not PH-OYI

Darren

Hi Darren could you tell me please which aircraft registration is flying TOM2731 Paphos to Manchester today. It departed this morning as TOM2730.

Thank you,
Jason

JasonMack,

It's a little early yet, I don't have all the ACARS logs for this morning yet. i'll keep looking. Are you coming back on the TOM2731?

Darren

Hi Darren, yeah returning from Paphos today on TOM2371.

At airport now.
Regards,
Jason

Correction: TOM2731

Dazbo,
Well happy! Thank you very much!

hello again,
there seems to be more problems at lgw with the longhaul aircraft. inbound flight cancelled and others delayed for tomorrow, can anyone shed any light on whats happening

gooner1970,

I'm mobile at the moment so don't have everything to hand. I assume it's the flight running a 24 hour delay you're looking in and the knock-on effects from it. I believe there was a technical problem.

Darren

Hi Dazbo,

Do you know what actual plane will be used this Friday on flight TOM 062 Gatwick to Cancun?

Many thanks

aprehensiveflyer,

Aircraft are rotated all the time so I won't know until the day before.

Darren

Okey dokey,

Many thanks! I was only going to look up the plane and no doubt start fretting so probably just as well!

Hi Darren,
Could you let me know if TOM030 from LGW to MBJ on 5th April 2011 is ex Thomsonair or ex FCA.

Many Thanks

Railbob

PS your knowledge is almost encyclopedic

Railbob,

LGW-MBJ-LGW (TOM030/1) are currently operated by a former Thomsonfly Boeing 767-300/ER. It's a change from the ex-FCA as of last week.

Darren

Many Thanks Darren, Do you know what version of 767 it is or is it a bit early ?

Railbob,

Sorry, I should have said long haul 76W (283 seats). There's only one version for the long haul ex-TOM's. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). It's a been a busy afternoon so popping on and off between jobs!

Darren

Cheers Darren

Hi Darren,
Would you happen to have any idea which configuration of aircraft Thomson might use on TOM 082 Lgw-Goa on Wednesday 2/2/11 and TOM 053 Goa -Lgw on 13/2/11 -just wandered if it was 258 or 283 seats or who knows, even more...???
Many thanks,
Kate

Kate Power,

LGW-GOI-LGW (TOM082/053) are currently an ex-FCA (258) seats.

Darren
