TOM052/3 is an ex-FCA. It's normally a V2 aircraft, but this can change to V1 as they are swapped and changed all the time.

Hi Darren,is that 90days from your return flight or outbound flight.

Qatarman,

You can call them 90 days before your outbound to book the seats for the outbound and call again 2 weeks later for the inbound.
I call them both times just at 9am and went through immediately, no waiting time, very efficient agent and it was all sorted in minutes.

HI Darren

Do you know if flight TOM2202 (27/12/11) & 2203 (10/01/12) Man - TFS (return) is on a Thomson 757 or ex first choice, the reason I ask is that last year we were on an ex First Choice and it was really cramped and uncomfy!

(also there are a few disserent versions of the 757 on the which aircraft guide, do you know which one it is)

james 84,

Aircraft are swapped and changed pretty much weekly so it's impossible to say this far out. There are only slight variations in the position of a couple of seats and toilets so it makes little difference realy as to exactly which configuration you have. The main difference is the seat design.

The last time i booked seat numbers with Thomsons i only called once and booked the outbound and inbound at the same time has this changed and you have to call twice????

qatarman,

I've only ever had to do it once.

When I called a few weeks ago, I've asked if I could do both journeys in one go but the guy I had on the phone told me to call back 2 weeks later for the return ... So I don't know if they have changed anything or if I only was unlucky ...

I've had to ring twice. Once for the outbound at 90 days prior, and then the inbound at 90 days prior.
Reply
I had to call twice because the return flight was not within the 90 days of departure.

Do you still get blankets and pillows on long haul flights?

Mobor One,

On the overnight sectors, yes.

I suppose the lesson on booking seat numbers is to call 90days from your return flight,why do these companies keep messing with the system?? If the climate that has Thomas Cook on its knees carries on tour operators will have to have a very good look in the mirror (not the newspaper either) they might discover Customer Service.
