LGW-PUJ-LGW (TOM060/1) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll fin extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). seating is personal preference so it's whatever you prefer really. All seats offer the same seat pitch and facilities apart from the front where the IFE folds from the arm rest and row 9 as there's no window.

If it was a cooked breakfast then I think it's a premium breakfast, but all meals are small!

Browndog,

The flight previous to yours should be LGW-Mahon (Menorca)-LGW (TOM4566/7).

Darren

Thanks for very quick responses to Darren and Sunaddict

Thanks again for the reply Darren, so there's only one and then the rest are in the short-haul configuration? Are we allowed to ask about long-haul meals etc on this forum?

monarch A321,

You can ask anything you like (within reason) in relation to Thomson Airways! I posted examples of meals here. They change every 6 months or so though so these are just examples.

Darren

Thanks Darren, I do hope that Thomson's dont change the aircraft from a 767 to 737 as I had the same thing with Virgin early this year. I was meant to come back on VS46 Boeing 747 and it turned out to be an airbus 340-600 which is a nice aircraft but you cant beat the 747.

Cheers again.

Ah okay, very good. What price is it usually to upgrade to Premium on the day at the airport? Also, does that include the return leg?

monarch A321,

It's very unlikely any premium seats will be available on the day as they are normally booked months in advance. You may get lucky and there's a last minute cancellation, but it's unlikely. The price isn't normally much cheaper than full price and may or may not be return depending on what's available.

Darren

Hi Darren, what I should have mentioned was that I am going on a 10 night break to Bulgaria so the return flight is operated by a 757 aircraft, so I wonder if the Thomson website only gives you the smallest aircraft seat plan when you book these.

Regards.

Browndog,

That changes things then as there are 2 flights weekly. Your outbound flight is the TOM4574 (76W). Your return flight is the TOM4151, which is a Boeing 757-200. Make sure you're looking at the right one. Each flight should show the correct seating plan for the flight otherwise there's no point showing it. It's possible the aircraft has changed for that date, but all flights so have have been operated by the aircraft scheduled.

Darren

Thanks Darren

Anybody know;

TOM 2152/2153 MAN-CFU-MAN 5/9-12/9
TOM 772/773 MAN-SSH-MAN 22/10-29/10

Cheers
Nick

I assume you're wanting to know aircraft types?

TOM 2152/2153 MAN-CFU-MAN 5/9-12/9 - Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul / winglets)
TOM 772/773 MAN-SSH-MAN 22/10-29/10 - Boeing 737-800 (winglets)

Hi.
We're flying LGW-PFO on 10th - 17th August (TOM4314/4315)...
Is it too early to ask which type/reg aircraft?

Many thanks

Quoting Cpclarkes 12th July, 2011 - "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"

Looks like he was correct as G - PJLO positioned from MAN to LTN this morning as TOM 9802.

TOM 168 MAN - SFB normally operated by PJLO was operated by G - OBYG.

Anyone know the reason for PJLO positioning to LTN - maintenance planned or reactive?

If it was planned how much notice are TOM giving to their customers that their long haul plane is being replaced by a short haul version (high density seating, lack of premium cabin etc...)

I agree with previous posters that it is better to substitute a flight with a short haul version to avoid lenghty delays that eat into a holiday; but my point being what is the point of paying for the Premium Cabin and service, when in reality there is absolutely no guarantee of actually receiving the service you originally paid for!

desk jockey,

Aircraft are only substituted when absolute necassary. They aren't planned months in advance. It's inevitable an aircraft will have to be swapped at some stage, they are incredibly complex machines with the highest safety standards applied to them. You can't take chances at 37,000ft. The vast majority of flights are operated as normal, it' just an dd one that is changed at the last moment.
