petey,
There are designated medical seats on all aircraft that can be allocated to you if you discuss your needs with the airline. If you need extra room, it's likely row 2 (on the right side) of the Boeing 757-200, or seat 13F.

thanks darren
I am flying Birmingham to Antalya on 26th July. I think I am on a 757 200a and can sit in aisle 35, 36 or 37. i understand that the TV's are mounted every so many aisles an as i have two children with me would like to pick the seats with the best TV view.
can you advise which row would be best please

Just to update everyone on my earlier query on in-flight meals - I spoke to Thomson Lakes and they confirmed we will get meals on our flight, but after November this year no-one will get them. Glad to have got it sorted out!
Darren thank you so much for the telephone number, I found a Say No to 0871 number which was answered by someone at Tui and was transfered to another number, my initial reaction was oh no not again.
Anyway I spoke to a great advisor called Rachel and she booked my excess and it was cheaper than I had been previously told. I also asked for something in writing about the total allowance I had and she did that for me. She said I would receive a confirmation within a few minutes - which I did, complete with notes stating my total allowance.
Thank you Rachel :tup:
Right roll on 75 days

britabroad,
Seating in personal preference. IFE screens are located over the isle approximately every 4 rows. The first screen in the rear cabin is just forward of row 32, then approximately row 36 so any of the rows you're looking at will be fine.

It depends on which particular 757 aircraft you will be on and this won't be confirmed untill usually on the day. All ex-TOM 757 aircraft have cieling mounted TV's which can be found on or around rows 1, 6, 11, 21, 26, 32, 36. Many ex-FCA a/c have smaller flip-down TV's located under the overhead stowages around every 5-6 rows. I must though, say all are located in decent places to get the best view from the majority of seats. The only other differences in these aircrafts are the actual seat types used, ex-TOM aircraft having newer slimmer seating helping create a little extra space.
Thanks for the info...I think at the moment I am located in row 35 so would have to view the screen in front if row 32..seem like I should move back one row to row 36 and then the screen will be right in front of me.....or over head...I could opt for 37 I surpose just in case. I asked Thomson but they could not tell me ...
britabroad,
Row 35 is fine. I would prefer a screen 2 or 3 rows in front as if you have the screen right in front you you, you have to look up all the time and it gives you neck-ache after a while!

devonguy,
I only have the long haul at the moment. It'll be two from the list of long haul, normally the more family oriented films.

Thank you for the reply, much appreciated.
TOM 0512? (MAN-AYT-MAN)
Both the 0715 outbound from MAN, and the 2310 inbound to MAN. Guessing it'll be a 767-300 but then again could be a 75.

Hey Darren,
I'm new but have been lurking around on here for a while now, very informative posts from yourself
Any chance I could bug you for some info, I'm a plane nerd and like to look up things before I go !
I'm on TOM 568/9 on 23rd August, just wondering if you know what aircraft is operating this one? Where it comes from etc? I'm 99% sure it's a TOM a/c not FCA as I've already reserved the seats and it was in a 2/4/2 layout.
I pass the BHX apron every day on the train and on Tues mornings see it looks to be a TOM 763 and most of the time it looks like it's G-OBYD.......... but I know this can change.
Also, how often is the MAN tech (fuel) stop? I've seen it go direct but have read around that it depends on weather/ac/conditions etc, or is this not the case anymore?
Any info would be great

awpainter,
Welcome onboard
I'm mobile at the moment so I'll give a more detailed answer when I'm home. Your flights, BHX-CUN-BHX (TOM568/9) are indeed operated by an ex-TOM 76W. G-OBYD is the long haul ex-TOM aircraft so should be operating your flight. The aircraft operates BHX-SFB-BHX (TOM630/1) the day before. Fuel stops, if reqired add an hour to the flight. It's due to BHX's runway not being long enough to allow the aircraft to take-off with the required fuel to make it all the way to CUN, so it used to stop in MAN to brim the tanks. However, the additional performance gained by the addition of blended winglets has offset this so now operates non-stop. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).
EDIT: additional information added.

Hi,
Do you know what version of the 767-300 flight MAN - Cancun is? I'm just wondering as the seating plans for V1 and V2 are different, and as we are in row 2 on the AB it will mean we have the wall in front of us compared to the V2. I'm just concerned as, I have previously sat by the toilets before and found that passengers continually queuing beside me became annoying after a while on a 9 hour flight, so I don't know if anyone knows what side the door to this toilet may is it in the aisle or by the exit door.
If the aircraft is a V2 767 then I'm sure there's nothing to worry about as the toilet is further away.
Thanks in advance.
