Hi Dazbo,

We are flying on the TOM494 on Fri 9th LGW- Sharm el Sheikh. Are you still able to advise where the flight is coming in from beforehand?

Thanks!

Lisa

Hi Darren

Should be an easy one for you this time. TOM 162 (Manchester to Pueto Plata) 15th March should be an ex First Choice according to the seating plan but where does it come in from? I guess the beers will be on me during the post flight three hour coach trip as a thanks for all the help you've given in the past

LisaMJ,

Friday 9th March? There isn't a flight immediately before it. The aircraft only operates LGW-SSH-LGW (TOM494/5) that day.

baz657,

It is an easy one since I'll be on the flight with you!! Are you off to Cayo Levantado too since you mention the 3 hour coach trip? Don't forget 10 minutes on the boat across to the island as well! The aircraft normally night stops and doesn't operate a flight immediately beforehand. Beers will be on the menu well before the coach ride, try 45 minutes after take-off!

See you 2 weeks on Thursday

Darren

Thanks Dazbo - sorry yes I did mean March. Info much appreciated as always! Lisa

Thanks for that Darren. 2 weeks on Thursday it is!

Go easy on the beers though - I don't fancy diving off the boat to rescue you if you fall overboard

I'm a qualified rescue diver, don't worry! I'll be diving off plenty of boats over the 2 weeks, that's part of the reason I'm going! The Humpbacks are in the bay at the moment so I'm told so don't forget your camera.

Darren

Hi Daz,

Any ideas when you will have Mar/Apr IFE listings?

Many thanks in advance.

gbailey141,

I'll update the link on our What Aircraft? guide as soon as I get it.

Darren

Ok Daz. Many thanks.

ok!
i was able to choose my seats today. tom138 17th may. it seems that thomsons are only allowing me to pick, between rows 20 and 40!!
my choose was, rows 34 and 35 a and b!!
what do you think?
thomson's seat plan doesnt show, toilets, bulkheads or doors. so i used your seat map. how accurate is it and will row 34 have trays be in the arms of the seats??
thanks dazbo!

buzzer14,

Row 34 is as good as any other really. Tray tables are seat back. Only those in premium and extra legroom rows fold out from the arm rest. The seats plans are accurate for respective types.

Darren

thanks dazbo.

dazbo
i've just noticed. the seat config,thomson have sent me, is a 2 3 2.. does this mean, it will be an ex-first choice, rather than ex-thomson as expected?
flight tom134/135 17th may birm-cancun.
thanks.

buzzer14,

Yes, it's an ex-FCA.

Darren

You are quite lucky because of the cancellation of male and kenya and a bit of regigging around this wednesday and thursday flights due to be operated by the ex-TOM are now ex-FCA

Hi,
Have just booked Premium seats BHX-CUN-BHX 17th may on the 135/136. Seats are 6A and 6B, Do these seats have a full or partial window view.

tigger,

They have a full view. It's only row 9 that doesn't. If you look at the photos linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below), there are a couple of photos of the front of the aircraft with explanation.

Darren

Going back to this booking your seats business. Still gettting an error message which I never got before. I aways got the message advising me that it was too early rather than the message that my booking can't be found.

So I thought I go and call them. My departure date is 17th May so well within the supposed 90 days before departure criteria quite often quoted on here.

Call was answered fairly quick and my booking reference was found. I asked for seats 5A and 5B and was put on hold. After a minute or so, the operative (from an Indian call centre - didn't know that they used them) told me that the seat plans weren't uploaded yet as it was more than 90 days before my return flight date and that on the 4th March I should be able to book them.

Rather strange that some are now able to book seats for 17th May departures whilst I can't
