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.

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!

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

Darren, a new member here and I have found reading this site most informative. I received a letter today saying my flight to Cancun from London Gatwick on 13th Feb has been amended and no longer has 33" seat pitch it is now 30" pitch. Reading this site this seems to be a common practice, Just wondering what type of plane this is, does my pre-booked seats still stand as we are family of four, what about in flight entertainment. My husband is hopping mad as he argues the brochure states 33" as standard and this is not the case and really is false advertising, any thoughts??
Good evening
A few quick questions for the people in the know.
Flying MAN-PUJ on Thursday (20/1) on TOM104. Is the aircraft still going to be G-OBYJ?
Secondly, are they still suffering problems in the DR with regard to the availability of aircraft fuel? If so will the aircraft divert to refuel on the outgoing flight from MAN or on the return leg as TOM105 and how much time will this add to the journey?
Many Thanks

belinda41,
Welcome onboard
Your flights are still operated by a Boeing 767-300/ER, however it is in the old short haul configuration rather than the long haul. Your pre-booked seating still stand as does everything else on your booking, it's just the aircraft configuration that has changed. I assume it's changed to an Arkfly aircraft that is covering some flights so IFE will be of the overhead variety. Under the terms and conditions of booking, the airline have the right to change the aircraft if, for example, it's due to operational reasons. I can understand your frustration, I wouldn't be too happy either but there's nothing you can do about it.

Fergmeister,
MAN-PUJ-MAN (TOM104/5) are still operated by an ex-TOM 76W, not necassarily G-OBYJ, it could be YG. It makes little difference though, they're all the same inside. The fuel situation is resolved as far as I know, but flights have been operating via Montego Bay inbound for fuel, adding a couple of hours to the flight time.

Is TOM118 to Sanford on Friday still the standard long haul 767? Do you know the actual aircraft operating the flight?
Thanks

Greygat,
Unless you've been notified of a change, and assuming no technical issues with the aircraft between now and your flight, it'll be the usual ex-FCA 76W. We won't know until the day before which is assigned to your flight as they are rotated regularly. It makes little difference, they're all basically the same inside, G-OOAN is the exception being the V1 config, the other 5 are V2. G-OOBK had operated it most often.

For information, F-HBIL, a Corsair Airbus A330-200 has operated a sub-charter for Thomson Airways out of Manchester, TOM122/3 (Puerto Plata) in place of the regular 767.

I have a terrible feeling that my IB flight TOM067 from POP on Feb 15th is going to be operated by an Arkefly aircraft. [Thomson have just refunded £50 that my wife and I paid for extra leg-room seats, hence my suspicion]
Can you confirm? Arkefly have some terrible reviews and also only 30" seat pitch, and I am already dreading the return journey!
Many Thanks

Have you been notified of any changes? Passengers effected by changes should have been notified by now. The Arkfly 767's are the same as the short haul aircraft TOM operate (they are their sister airline), but don't have seat back IFE. These are similar to the aircraft operated by Thomsonfly up until 2008. They aren't as bad as they sound (I've been across the pond on them many times), but not a luxurious as we've become accustomed to.

Hi Darren
Good to be here!
I've had no notification at all from Thomson - it was only when I saw my credit card statement and I saw the refund that I got suspicious.
We are flight only, so probably not high on Thomson's priority list, but I feel they should still have informed us. Not sure what good it would have done, other than made me depressed sooner!
I'm glad to hear they are not too bad, but 30" pitch for over 9 hours?! You can't have enjoyed that!
