Hi Dazbo - I have been unable to find out what planes are used for the TOM560/561 and
the TOM604/605 flights - then I thought of you!.........
We would like to view the seating configuration before we choose our seats.
Can you tell us the row numbers for extra legroom on those flights please?
Many thanks - Suzie x

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

SomersetSuzie,

When are you travelling? I assume it's LGW-HRG-LGW (TOM560/1 / TOM604/5)? They're operated by Boeing 737-800 or Boeing 757-200 depending on when you're travelling. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including links to seating plans where extra legroom seats are indicated.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

nedbowler,

LGW-SSH-LGW (TOM652/3) should be operated by a Boeing 757-200. I won't know for sure until the beginning of May.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi,

I'm flying from Manchester to Sharm el Sheikh: Sat 29-Sep-2012 13:55 - TOM294

and then back: Wed 10-Oct-2012 21:30 - TOM895

Can you please tell me what our aircraft will be?

Also, I have paid more for extra legroom seats - are there any which are best or any I should avoid please? Wouldn't mind having a window to look out of but not sure if these are possible with extra legroom seats??

Thanks!

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

cagzy,

MAN-SSH-MAN (TOM294/895) are operated by Boeing 757-200. Extra legroom seats have windows. Seating is personal preference so it's whichever you prefer really. You'll find extensive aircraft infomation on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including a link to the seating plan. Extra legroom seating by doors tend to get a little chilly due to less insulation and a draft.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks very much Darren!!

Think I'll try and go for seats 12B and 12C.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

cagzy,

We always book seat numbers 32D,E and F . These seats are located behind the bulk head, towards the rear of the cabin and behind the toilets. However, IMO they are the better seats due to the amount of legroom (approx 36"/40") and the fact that people can't stand in front of you. People have commented that these seats are an issue due to queues for the toilets, but we have booked these seats 3 times and never found this to be a problem.

Regards,
Pat

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi Pat, thanks very much for this.

I kind of discounted that row of seats straight away due to the proximity to the toilets - I thought they would be the worse seats to pick.
However, if people can't stand in front of you there then they seem like a good choice.
By the way, is that because there is less standing room in front of D, E and F than there is at A, B and C (as it appears from the seating plan in Darren's link)?
Is the little square in front of that row (and the other extra space row) where a staff member would sit?

Thanks.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

cagzy,

That is the main reason why we always book these seats, due to nobody being able to stand in front of you.

If sitting in F you do need to be careful when standing up due to head height but D and E are OK. Regarding the standing room in A, B and C I never really took much notice ....... sorry!

In D, E and F ..... yes, we did have 1 cabin crew sitting facing us during take off and landing for about 15mins but we have always found them to be very pleasant. I think cabin crew were also sat facing on seats A, B and C also.

Regards,
Pat

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks again Pat.

Well they don't seem that bad now!
Is there a window at F please? If so, think I'll try to book E and F (and remember to stay stooped when getting up!!).
I'm assuming there's enough room if sitting in F to get past people sitting in seats D and E without them having to stand/move?

Caroline.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi Caroline,

Yes, there is a window if seating in F, and Yes, there is enough room if sitting in F to get past people in D and E without them having to stand up or move.

I've always been put off booking seats in row 12 due to people standing in front of you during the flight, and prefer row 32 due to it being a bit more private.

Regards,
Pat

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks once again Pat, you've been a great help.
Hope I manage to get those seats, you're right, they do seem better.
Sorry for the amount of questions lol!

Caroline.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

mickeee,

When is it you're travelling? In the winter season (before the end of April)? LGW-MBJ-LGW (TOM084/5) are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-30/ER at the moment. Extra legroom seats are rows 11 (C/D/E), 14 (A/B & F/G) and row 20 (A-G). You were on a short haul aircraft the last time you flew on a 767 (ex-Thomsonfly).

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

I'm flying Manchester to Varadero in May - on TOM172/173.
I notice Darren answered a query back in December saying that this would likely be an ex-FCA plane. (but might change)
However I just got the seat booking reminder Email from Thomson and the layout offered to me is 2-4-2
So I'm guessing that they've switched now to an ex-thomsonfly 767?
Am I right?

Also - as always - I responded within minutes of getting the Email yet a huge block of seats at the front of the plane were all already booked and unavailable. And yet it's still three months till the flight.
Who gets to book the seats even earlier?
