Benleigh,

It's too early to tell but long haul is running on schedule at the moment, subject to weather or any technical issues.

Hi

Today i phoned Thomsons to pre book my flight for my holiday in October, i was able to book the outwards seats but not the return seats, i was told to phone back next week, is this the correct information?

Many thanks

Hi Paula,

We had to do the same to prebook our seats. Think you wil find that the seats for your return flight won't be loaded until next week ... hence having to phone back.

Regards,

Hi Pat

Thanks very much for the info.

You can only book 90 days before the flight. So unless your inbound flight falls into the 90 days you will have to ring back when it does.

Yes that is correct as the others say seats can be booked via phone 90 days in advance of inbound flight. I recently phoned and thought I had got my dates right to book outbound and inbound at the same time but I was a day early for inbound :whoops so had to ring back the next day!!!

Thank you Darren.

Regarding pre-booking of the seats, in order to do this does anyone know if the holiday balance has to have been paid in full or will they do this with a balance still outstanding?

Thanks.

nicochick,

Your balance is normally paid before the seats are released for selection but if not, are available from 90 days before by phone, 60 days online.

Thanks for such a quick response!

Balance is due 8 weeks before travel so there is about a months gap where seats are available but balance isn't paid (could really do with that extra month to pay but want to get in as early as poss with the seats!)

Hi Guy's

Flying from Glasgow to Cape Verde, 18th September

Outbound - TOM 716 - 18.09.11

Inbound TOM 717 - 02.10.11

Any idea on plane type and IFE

Cheers

Where did you book that lets you pay the balance 8 weeks before the holiday?

My seats were released and I selected both the outbound and inbound on the 3 July and my paperwork said balance was due on the 9th July. however I had already paid my balance on the 4th June.

So technically I could have selected my seats before I paid my balance. Does seem strange though.

Dunmac25,

Welcome onboard :tup
GLA-SAL-GLA (TOM716/7) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). IFE for September / October is released at the beginning of September. I'll update the list that is linked on the What Aircraft? guide when I get it.

Feebee,

Amenity packs are now in stock. The inflight retail range is updated twice per year. The one linked from our What Aircraft? guide is the current one up to the end of October.
