IFE is changed 3 times per season, ie every 2 months. The current list is for May / June. The next 2 months is July / August. The listing won't be released until the beginning of July. I'll update the link on the What Aircraft? guide when I get it at the beginning of July. The following 2 month period is September / October. I'll update the listing at the beginning of September once it's released. Winter periods are November / December, January / February and March / April. Details aren't known until they are released at the beginning of each 2 month period.

jules1234,

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM074/5) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft and cabin photos plus seat maps and IFE. The aircraft is a wide bodied twin jet so even though it's 'only' 2-3-2, it's still has a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 186,900kg, has an endurance of 11.25 hours or approximately 5,900 miles with a full passenger load (13 hours / 6,800 miles when empty), a wing span of 47.6m and a length of 54.9m!! It's a pretty big aircraft although not jumbo sized. The medium density configuration means you get more room than the higher density configured aircraft such as those used on short and medium haul flights.

geemac,

EDI-PMI-EDI (TOM1674/5) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. Flights are currently operated for Thomson Airways by Astraeus using the same aircraft type and configuration (G-STRW) so don't be surprised if it doesn't have Thomson's livery.

mickyjo,

It's normally chicken or beef with vegetables and potatoes in a sause but it does change from time to time. BY-TOM-AMM-FCA might be able to give you a more accurate update.

I flew back to Manchester from Santorini last week on a ex First Choice 757. Jeeez were the seats cramped, my legs started swelling before take off. I couldn't get extra leg room, but I will next time.
The "meal" was repulsive noodles for starters, followed by 2 boiled sausages with smash with green bits in it, followed by a piece of cake that wasn't bad. This meal was very poor. Whatever happened to the decent meals we used to have on Air 2000? Buck's fiz for breakfast and a hot towel to clean up.

Not wanting to be too critical but why when going on holiday are people so concerned which film is showing. You can't watch them properly anyway. What's wrong with books?

To help pass the time while on the flight? I actually quite enjoy watching a film on the flight, providing it's a good one with a story. It's a good way of keeping youngsters entertained too. Roll on September when there'll be enough time for at least 3 during the 11 hour overnight flight! There won't be the option of watching a film on short haul from November (or meals) so books it'll have to be.

Soon people won't be able to complain about meals but I for one will be glad because people still expect gourmet food really!

I flew Premium last Nov/Dec I actually thought the meal was pretty good - pleasantly surprised.

A nice film is good to watch, I don't want to read for 10 hours.

Off the top of my head its BBQ chicken(cant remember what its served with-mash/potatoes etc..) on the way out(providing the flight is after 10am and the same old Sausage and Leek Mash on the way home.
