ex first choice (v2) usually from Cancun (TOM023) but occasionally Punta Cana (TOM061) they both arrive early enough to be used for your flight.

re PREMIUM flight upgrades - I've now had a second email from Customer services confirming Premium luggage allowance as 23 kgs hold and 7 kgs hand luggage in contradiction of first email last week!
I think they are confusing themselves now with the difference between a Premier package holiday which used to carry the uprated allowances and an actual flight upgrade to Premium which still does!!!! :yikes

Please can you tell me whether it's an ex FCA or ex Thomsonfly LGW-POP 18 July TOM 038. Also do you know where the aircraft is coming in from prior to the flight.

Ex-FCA, flight before is Puna Cana (TOM060/1), on the odd occasion Cancun (TOM022/3).

You don't know the weather (wind) conditions at the time of the landings and in any case, landings shouldn't be perfectly smooth. These are known as 'greasers' where the wheels would take time to spin-up and gain traction. A slightly hard landing (6fpm normally) is the norm giving a positive touchdown so the wheels spin-up and brakes can be applied as soon as possible. If you add a crosswind component or contaminated runway surface (rain), the last thing you want is a soft landing. Different aircraft have different sensations on landing as well so it was probably a perfectly normal landing. There are many variables to consider, plus aircraft aren't the easiest things to fly!

A firm landing is a good landing. Most modern aircraft have automatic braking systems which are generally activated by weight on the main landing gear; no weight on the landing gear equals no braking. Sure, manual braking is always available but a couple of seconds delay on a short runway is not desirable. Also, as Dazbo says, on a wet or contaminated runway you need a firm landing to break through the water layer on the runway surface otherwise you can aquaplane serenely off the end.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

a friend is flying on 22nd and was told in an email that the plane to punta cana was being repaired as it had a fault and a smaller plane was being used so would be no premium seating but they would receive a premium service , am hopeing when i fly on the 2nd august to punta cana it will be a proper premium seating , would have thought any fault could have been repaired in ten days

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

chloe_wrench,

TOM182/3 are ex-FCA as per your previous replies, subject to any last minute changes, for example a technical problem.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Quick query.

Our flight tickets for holiday to Turkey have turned up, but we haven't got any luggage labels for the first time ever with TOM.

Is this now the norm?

Cheers,

IainB

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Are your tickets in a booklet? If so, the luggage "labels" are flimsy tearout ones at the back end of the booklet.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Dave,

Yes tickets turned up in a booklet as last year, but no sign of the flimsies as we had last year.

I'll take another look just in case.

Morning All,

Does anybody know which aircraft operated TOM 038 from LGW to POP yesterday, as it appears to have gone Tech in POP?

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi,

I need to select seating (with Infant) on the below route but just wanted to confirm the aircraft type.

Please can you confirm the A/C type for the below route:-

TOM654 DSA - DLM
TOM499 DLM - DSA

Im expecting it to be the 737-800, however on the screen print (AirCenter) the TOM advisor sent over to me to choose my seats from the A/C type states with 2 different layouts of seat plan, (stil 3-3)

Also, what does "NO REC" mean on the AirCentre app??

Outbound
A/C Type:- 73C

Inbound
A/C Type: 7T8

One final question, what seats would you go for in a 737-800 with an Infant?

Thanks

Rick
