Morning Darren,
Roughly a month ago you kindly let me know that plane operating Tom022 departing on Sunday the 26th June 2011 from LGW to Cancun would be flying in from either Montego Bay or Sanford. Now we are finaly nearer the departure date would you know which flight is more likely operate so I could have a good idea if we can expect delays at the airport?

Many thanks in advance from an over excited chap who is looking forward to 14 night at the Grand Riviera Princess Resort!!!

gooner1977,

The incoming flight has changed a little. It was Montego Bay (TOM024/5) up until the beginning of June, but the last three flights before have been Sanford (TOM046/7) so I would assume that one. I stayed at the Grand Riviera Princess last September, you're in for a treat but take a good pair of walking shoes as the place it huge!

Thanks for your quick reply as normal Darren. Yes I heard the place was big, at least I will walk off the "all inclusive food & drink"

Darren is it still possible for you to see what in-flight entertainment is going to be on our flight? No problems if not. :tup

Hi Darren,

flying from Manchester on TOM2112 to Las Palmas. Could you tell me which aircraft is used for this flight please. Don't suppose anyone has a link for finding out what the on board in flight entertainment will be?

Many thanks,
:wave:

Current IFE is linked from our What Aircraft? guide.

Thanks for all your help and information. Just got back from Cyprus yesterday on TOM2337. It was a 757, very cramped compared to last year's 767. Interestingly on the outbound flight on 15/6/11 there was no IFE even though the screens were there and no explanation or mention of it. On the return flight we had one film and then nothing for about 2 1/2 hours. However Atlantica Golden Beach in Paphos more than made up for the flight - wonderful, for third year in a row.

Hi all,

Hoping you might be able to help me. Im flying on Thomson flight TOM078 from London Gatwick to Cancun on 02/07. We have paid for extra leg room and been allocated seats 20F and G. Does anyone know what these seats are like as far as leg room is concerned, and also, having seen conflicting seating plans, does anyone know if these seats are next to the toilets or not.

Thanks for your help,
Sando

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM078/9) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. Row 20 is the overwing exit row and offer lots of room. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft and cabin photos, and seat plans (V2 is your aircraft). The toilets are at the front and rear of the cabin so nowhere near your seats.

Hi Darren,

Sorry to be a pain but still not sure which plane will be operating from Manchester to las Palmas TOM2112 July 4th and the IFE does not seem to posted for July yet.

Thanks :wave

Marge8,

I've been out and about all day and won't be home until the morning so I can't check on your flight until then. It'll probably be a Boeing 757-200 or similar. I can do long haul from memory but there's nearly 20 pages of flights for short haul! July / August IFE won't be released until the beginning of July. I update the listing as soon as I get it so keep checking in July.

EDIT: MAN-LPA-MAN (TOM2112/3) are operated by an Airbus A321-200.

Just returned from a couple of trips to/from Boa vista on B757- 200's G-OOBN and G-CPEV, these aircraft after 11 plus years seemed very tired and in need of some TLC, cramped conditions on a 6 hour plus flight, my thoughts to those in the know are "would the new B737's that Thomson are in the process of acquiring be better suited on this route?"

I would just like to say thank you to all you guys for your considerable help. :tup

I am a terrible flyer and as such get very stressed about seating, we are flying out to Male in September and because of the advice I received from this site, I phoned Thomsons up 90 before inbound flight and have booked our seats 5A & 5B both ways, it was very easy and they were very helpfull, I can now sit back relax and not worry about the seating.

Thank you again :ghug

joe3400,

Interior wise, the 73H's are more suited to Cape Verde but they would struggle for range, hence the 757-200's are used. The Boeing Enhanced Interior Package fitted to the ex-Thomsonfly 752's in 2005 are pretty much the same as what the interior of the 73H's have. The ex-FCA 752's are a little dated and 'cosy' for the longer flights.

hi darren, i need your help please...again ;)

i have booked our outbound seats today for our flight on 22/9/11 on tom 886 manchester to bodrum, i'm confused as we booked extra legroom seats and have booked seats 26 e & f, which the agent on the phone told us were 2 seats per row and not 3 so we would be on our own- on looking at the seating plan on a seatplan.com, there is no row 26 on the right hand side, only on the left (ie/ seats b & c) so, where are we going to be sitting exactly?

just a bit tetchy as we didnt book on line via flightextras site as it's still 90 days away, so i couldnt view the actual seating plan before booking,

any clarification would be of great help-

thanks so much :tup
