landerd,
LGW-PFO-LGW (TOM4314/5) are operted by a Boeing 757-200. I can't give a registation as it changes weekly and in any case, all the aircraft of similar type are virtually the same inside so it makes little difference. The only differences in the 757 fleet are the seat design and the placement of toilets and an odd seat. You'll find extensive aircraft informatio on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Any ideas how long PJLO is in maintenance for and whether there are any other of the ex FCA long haul fleet that are due for "planned" maintenance in the next 4 weeks?
Thanks.

I am due to fly to CUN on 8th Sept with TOM, does anyone know which A/C's are currently assigned to this route?
Thanks
Chloe
Welcome onboard

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information as there are often multiple flights. This ensures we get the correct information for you. It's the TOM092/3 from Gatwick I assume? This flight is operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hiya
I was wondering if it would be one of the (almost) new 737-800's but no biggy.

Many thanks for the speedy reply as always Darren
I would be interested if anyone finds out what the situation is with G-PJLO. I was on her for TOM137 from MBJ to MAN on Sun-Mon this week and she seemed a nicer (less worn-looking) bird than G-OOBL that carried us out two weeks before.
Hi, we are flying from East Midlands to Faro TOM 7402. I am guessing it will be a 737-800 as it only has 32 seating rows. Am I right?

G-OOBL had a complete refurb( new seats/leather covers) in the economy cabin in January, they didn't do much to the premium cabin then though. Shocked its already in such a state.

Hopefully it's not time for her to be flown off to the desert yet?

Notice that 2 X Thomson long haul flights yesterday were with former Thomsonfly aircraft so somebody must have got the short straw - no Premium!

G-OBYD is the "ex" TOM long haul aircraft, it does have a premium cabin. It mainly operates from BHX and occasionall GLW.
For the last 2 days the long haul routes out of MAN have been operated by G-DBLA (ex First Choice 258 seats with premium cabin) and G-OBYG 328 seats no premium cabin. Today the MAN - SFB route is being operated by G-OBYF TOM Liveried aircraft, 328 seats no premium cabin.
You are correct that some passengers will get an unwelcome surprise at check in!
Still no news on how long PJLO is at LTN for? and when / if it will return into mainline service.

I have previously been told that my flight (TOM714) in a week Monday (

Also, do you think the long haul a/c problems will mean we could be downgraded to a smaller plane? I do hope not, looking forward to my own TV
Thanks in advance

We were in the premium cabin of G-OOBL which, you mention, had little or nothing done to in in the refurb. The seats were flat as pancakes compared to G-PJLO, and the cabin generally seemed shabby with such things as a seat-back pocket hanging off.
Nothing to do with the qualuty of the plane, but the flight also wasn't helped by the toilets one by one going out of service so that 90 minutes from landing at MCB there was only one functioning and the flight deck seemed to be debating whether they might have to divert to sort it out. Thankfully they didn't and we landed just 20 mins late, still ahead of the TCX flight.

Cheers for that. Do the Egypt flight's change type depending on the day. There are two were looking at. Thomson Saturday or Sunday, and the Monarch (which i know is a A332) on the Sunday. Or do they just send the 737-800 now a days?
And why the 2 hour turn around time. Guess this means a change in the crew?

We had already booked our December holiday to Goa in April this year, and paid for the option of being able to reserve our seats, however, yesterday we decided to upgrade to Premium. I cannot see on the websites or on our amended booking whether we can reserve our seats either now or two months before we go. Am I correct in assuming that reserving your seat does not apply to Premium?
The same applies with premium except it is included in your premium upgrade, you should have had this deducted off your upgrade price, check you revised invoice. If not get onto Thomson to arrange the refund.
We had also paid for an increase in luggage allowance (20 kgs), do you think that we will be able to get a refund for that?
I've never come across that question before, best check with customer services/your travel agent but as a customer of Thomson too, I would have to assume it would be dealt the same.
I've recently booked a package deal (first time in a long time) and am only allowed 5kg of hand luggage which is not a problem for me, but how do people go on who purchase duty free? I assume anyone purchasing duty free that has to be within the 5kg allowance. I can't see anything in relation to this on the Thomson website, but just interested to know.
Your duty free is in addition to your hand luggage!
