groovybaby,

LGW-PMI-LGW (TOM4182/3) is currently showing as a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). I can't say which runway will be in use at the time as it depends on the wind direction on the day. If you assume a westerly wind that is prevelant for this part of the world, I would expect runway 24 to be in use. However, if the winds on that particular day are easterlies, then runway 06 will be in use. Whichever runway is used, when you are heading north on your way home, the sun will set in the west so you'll want to be on the port (left) side of the aircraft.

thejohn,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. There are often multiple flights. This ensures we get the correct information for you. When are you travelling? I can't give aircraft information unless I know which flight you're on and when. Luggage information is on Thomsons website. You'll see confirmation of Premium upgrade customers entitlement to 23kg of hold allowance towards the bottom of the page.

Thanks Darren, sorry to be a numpty re flight no, the outbound is TOM082 inbound TOM083. as for hold baggage allowance the web site says 23KGS for premium but our invoice states 20KGS hold baggage we are still waiting for tickets it may be clearer then, then maybe not.

MAN-PMI-MAN (TOM2622/3) is showing as a Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul / winglets) currently.

thejohn,

MAN-HOG-MAN (TOM082/3) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. Your invoice may say 20kg, but Premium passengers are entitled to 23kg as stated above. This has occurred before and it was a mistake on the invoices.

Cheers Darren :cheers just one more thing please, I want to know which side to sit going out from Gatwick to Majorca, we are going at 21.40 but fingers crossed the sun will be setting still over England so should I sit on the right going out? :think Also I thought starboard was right and portside was left? :think

Cheers mate

groovybaby,

When heading south, you'd want to be on the starboard (right) side so you'll be looking west towards the setting sun.

That'll teach me to double check posts before pressing submit : :whoops

Hi

I'm going from Gatwick - Bodrum in early August on TOM428 - thomson's website is useless for flight info, do you know if it will be a 757 or an A321 or something else.

Thanks

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-BJV-LGW (TOM428/9) should be operated by an Airbus A321-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Many airlines don't publish aircraft types attributed to routes as they can change and many passengers aren't fussed. It's only us!

Thanks for the quick reply, do you think there would be a cance of getting two window seats as having four passengers on a 3x3 is annoying - what with two of us wanting awindow seat! We havn't shelled out £70 on the 50% chance on us maybe having the seats in the vague area we asked for... :que

Ben123planes,

Seats are pre-allocated using a best fit model the day before the flight departs. If you haven't pre-selected seats, you'll just get whatever you are given after those that have pre-booked and pre-selected their seats have been taken in to account. Most are allocated seating together, but for peace of mind, you can pre-book seating together. If you want particular seats, you'll need to pre-select them. There are no guarantees unless you pre-book / select and no choosing seats at check-in as they are allocated the day before. Refer to Thomsons website for further details.

Please quote flight numbers where possible as there are sometimes more than one flight. This ensures we get the correct information for you. LTN-SSH-LTN (TOM852/3) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). You'll have a window, but it may only be a partial view as there are 2 rows in that region that have air conditioning and wiring routed.

Flight logs are showing a 757-200 for TOM852/3. G-BYAL was used on 5th Jan and G-BYAU on the 3 flights prior to that. Unless that was just for the christmas period and it's reverting back to a 73H. You have the ones you want anyway!
