The maintenance schedule doesn't start until the end of the month when the long haul flying programme dies down for a few weeks before really kicking in for the winter season in December. There won't be any planned changes to your aircraft unless there are any major problems, like last week.
The aircraft changes to ex-Tfly aircraft are managed and bookings taken accordingly- i.e. only 31 premium seats sold and 252 economy seats sold vs 63premium/195 economy seats, people will not be downgraded unwillingly due to the planned maintenance. It is only when things go T*ts up that Thomson Airways has to reluctantly upset customers.
Thanks for info.
I will be downgraded as there were only 9 premiun seats left available when the aircraft was scheduled as ex-fca.
Never mind

ferch73,
Welcome onboard
I won't know until the 2nd week of November (if you want to remind me), but I suspect it'll be an ex-TOM.

Many thanks for the confirmation !! Is TOM031 coming back from MBJ ?
Splendid, many thanks ! 89 days to go and counting !
I've called Thomson Airways yesterday to choose my seats and I had someone within minutes sorting my outbound seats for me.
I have to call again in 2 weeks for the inbound but I was well impressed.
It was all done very quickly and efficiently. Got 3A and 3B.

The operational data i've been given is fresh this week, coupled with the announcement last week that the ex-FC aircraft are going in for major maintanence - including refreshing/updating the interior (configuration to stay the same)
I can only presume that the ex-Tfly 767's are covering for the FC aircraft whilst this is being carried out. Your outbound will be an ex-Thomsonfly 767 in long haul configuration(283 seats) and your inbound an ex-FC 767.
The outbound flight is only operated by a Tfly 767 the 6th-27th November 2011, it then reverts to normal a ex-FC 767.
BY-TOM-AMM-FCA,
Just a query. I am returning on TOM067 on the 6th Nov, arriving LGW on 7th Nov. I was under the impression that this one will be an ex TOM aircraft as when I went to reserve my seats I was informed by Thomson that there are only 5 rows of premium seating! Obviously it is not possible that both this and TOM022 on 6th Nov can be an ex TOM plane as I understand there is only 1 ex TOM (G-OBYD) in long haul configuration.
Hi Darren,
We are due to fly from Manchester to Tenerife on 28th of November on TOM2116/7. The thomson my booking website is sayin that this will be a 737-300 with no IFE do you know if this is correct.
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi
We are flying on 29th Oct Gatwick to Montego Bay on Flight No: TOM024 and returning on 8th Nov on TOM031.
We have premier seats booked.
Could you please tell me what aircraft these flights will use and where they will be coming from?
We have flown many times on FC planes but never in the premier cabin on the Thomson planes.
Thanks
Peter

It's more likely to be a Boeing 737-800 but no aircraft will have IFE on short haul from November. It's being stopped at the end of this month.

beastof,
LGW-MBJ-LGW (TOM024/31) are showing as an ex-FCA Boeing 767-300/ER, subject to changes for maintenance (see BY-TOM-AMM-FCA post above). The premium cabins are pretty much the same apart from number of seats, tray table position, 1" difference in seat pitch and mood lighting. The aircraft operating TOM024 operates TOM050/1 (Sanford) beforehand.

From my pretty poor memory when I booked the seats (on row 5) the ones behind 5 may have have been blanked out, so maintenance may be on the cards.

beastof,
Possibly. In that case, the premium cabin will only be 5 rows / 31 seats with 37" seat pitch, no mood lighting and usual tray tables. Other than that, service etc is the same.

Thanks Darren,
I thought it would probably be a 737-800 too. Looks like I will have to make my own entertainment.
Thanks again

Almost there!
Flying to FUE from EDI this Saturday on TOM1618. Having checked departures for several weeks prior, I've been unable to see this flight so I'm beginning to wonder if it is a one-off flight to cover for mid term school holidays in Scotland.
If possible, could you tell me where the flight will be inbound from or could it be re-positioning from a UK airport?
Thanks in advance

jc1,
The aircraft operates a flight to Tenerife the previous afternoon (TOM 1554/5) arriving back just before midnight then night-stops. I can't see a flight between that and your departure to FUE.
