AMSTERDAM,

Welcome onboard :tup
Your flights, MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM196/7) are operated by a former Thomsonfly Boeing 767-304/ER (long haul, 283 seats). You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft photos and a seating plan. You can call the airline 90 days before your flight dates to pre-select seating, or 60 days online. Seating is personal preference. All seats in their respective cabins offer the same basic facilities so it's whatever you prefer really. A window, isle or centre seat. The only ones I'd say avoid are ones close to the toilets to avoid disturbance. If you want any further information, fire away.

Cheers Darren any chance it could change by 10th March or is this set for the full winter programme. If not how many seats in the Premium Cabin i can only find seating for 31 pax is this correct?

qatarman,

There's always a possibility of changes! It's ex-TOM for the full season as far as I'm aware. The ex-TOM's have 5 rows / 31 seats in premium so if for whatever reason there's a change, it'll be to an ex-FCA that have 9 rows / 63 seats so you won't lose out.

Have a question regarding Thomson and passengers with reduced mobility.

Basically Mum has reduced mobility now after having replacement knee surgery. Would Thomson be able to help with an isle seat perhaps or whatever ? She is currently using a stick,retired but she is reluctant to ask for help ?

We fly 25/04 - flight 196 ? from Manchester.

AMSTERDAM,

Give the airline a call as there are medical seats available onboard the aircraft so they can accomodate most passengers needs. Tell her not to worry about giving them a call and asking for assistance, that's what they are there for. They can also arrange assistance through the airport(s) as well if needed. Details are here. If she really doesn't want to ask for any help, just pre-book seat numbers on an isle close to one of the exits by calling the airline 90 days before the date of the flights, or 60 days online. There's a charge for selecting seats. Dooe number 2 is uses more often than not so a seat around there would probably be good.

Wow...that was quick ! :tup

Thanks for the information and help.much appreciated. Are the medical seats expensive ? We have already paid for seats together with First Choice. Could I still sit near Mum if she gets said help ? So many questions soz..

AMSTERDAM,

If there's a genuine need for them, there's no charge for the use of medical seats. They are normal seats, sometimes extra legroom, but close to an exit and toilets for obvious reasons. The best thing is to call the airline and discuss your requirements. They will be able to answer all your questions.

Hello again Darren,

We're looking to go to Cuba (VRA) on TOM172 & 173 in May 2012, will this be an ex FCA with 2-3-2 in economy? If so what is the configuration in premium please?

My sister is going NCL-CUN on TOM392 & 393 in Aug 2012, same questions please.

Many thanks once again.

jim98,

It's too early to know the exact aircraft assigned, but it's normally an ex-FCA 763 so yes, 2-3-2 throughout. This can change between now and then though. Same with TOM392/3. Premium information is on our What Aircraft? guide.

Cheers once again; if we decide to fly to HOG, flight TOM118 does the same apply?

One more thing; if they decided to change the assigned aircratft (based upon your experience) is it mostl ikely to be an aircraft with the same configuration?
I'm sure you realise it's the 2 of the 2-3-2 that is attaractive to us.
