If anybody has a flight / holiday booked on a Thomson flight departing from Edinburgh during the Winter season of 2011 / 2012 please note that Thomson will not be flying to Sharm during the winter now.

You will be offered a change of date and flight from Glasgow or another airport, we have just had our flight moved to Glasgow on a different date.

And why the 2 hour turn around time. Guess this means a change in the crew?

I assume that's directed at the Monarch flight? It's a 2 hour turnaround as it's a much larger aircraft, 360 passengers compared to 187 on TOM's 73H so taes a lot longer to turn around. There are a variaety of aircraft used to Egypt, varying between time of year, day and departure / destination airport.

I have previously been told that my flight (TOM714) in a week Monday ( ) will be operated by a 767. I was wondering if anyone knew where the plane comes in from so I can keep an eye out for delays etc. I have tried keeping an eye on it in recent weeks but cant seem to figure it out!

There isn't a flight immediately before yours as it's the first of the day for that aircraft. It arrives in the early hours then has some downtime.

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?

That's correct.

essexyid,

It's only an odd flight where an aircraft has needed to be substituted at the last moment due to a technical problem. The vast majority of flights run as scheduled so I wouldn't sorry. It's a case of delaying the flight for a few hours or upwards of a day, depending on the nature of the problem and therefore delaying passengers, and subsequant passengers resulting in losing part of the holiday, or getting you away with only a minor delay but on a short haul configured aircraft. Having been subject to a 52 hour delay a few years ago (not with Thomson Airways), I know what I'd choose! Your flights are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). There isn't a specific registration allocated to your flight, the fleet is rotated weekly so I won't know until the day before. It makes little difference anyway as all but 1 are the same inside.

Denny.53 thanks for your response. Would I be correct in assuming that your hand luggage is weighed when you check in. Apologies for the daft question, it's just that I normally fly short haul (hand luggage only) where it's not weighed just have to make sure my bag is the correct size and that I can lift it into the overhead lockers.

I had my hand luggage weighed when we flew longhaul in March, but I've had it weighed on short haul as well.

scoya,

The weighing of hand luggage is becoming more common, especially when travelling with hand luggage only. Passengers may try and get around paying baggages charges by putting everything in hand luggage, hence the weighing of hand luggage. If your hand luggage looks heavy, then it's likely to be weighed. If it's only a small bag and obviously under weight, then it probably won't. As long as you stay within your limits, you've nothing to worry about.

Exactly as Darren says, sometimes they look at your hand luggage, sometimes they weigh it, sometimes they don't give it a second glance!
You can carry your duty free seperate from your hand luggage and I imagine as long as you don't have several carrier bags full of bottles nothing will be said.
