Thomson called it market conditions i suspect bookings were too low to continue from manchester, flights continue from gatwick. Info is from another forum though so...

I am flying to Cancun from Gatwick on Monday 5th March, Flight No TOM062. Can you please tell me which aircraft this will be and also if possible where it is coming in from ready for my flight and the time it is due at Gatwick that morning. Thank you.

ChrissyR,

LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM062/3) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). I'll not know where it comes in from until the beginning of May.

ChrissyR,

Sorry, I read it as 5th May not March. It's been a long week! The aircraft operates LGW-Bridgetown (Barbados)-LGW (TOM060/1) today before going on to operate your flight tomorrow. It departed LGW 30 minutes late but should make that up in flight so you're looking on-time at the moment. Expect G-OOBK.

Have a great holiday :cheers :sun2

Hi Darren,

Have booked to go BHX - PMI on 07/04/12 returning on 14/04/12. Flight numbers are TOM 7620 and TOM 7621. Have looked online and pretty sure it's a 752 so am looking at seats 8A / B outbound and 6E/ F inbound. Do these both have a window / not on the wing, etc?

Thanks in advance,

Jess

BHX-PMI-BHX (TOM7620/1) are operated by Boeing 757-200. The seats you mention are all in the foward cabin, in front of the wing and have a wndow.

Hi again Darren, you wrote G-OOBK at the end of your reply. Im probably being particularly thick but what does it mean?

ChrissyR,

That's the registration of the aircraft that should be operating your flight tomorrow. There are 6 long haul ex-FCA 767-300/ER's in the fleet, and it should be that one. Photos of her here.

Me again Darren, have looked on the which aircraft thread but cant find what Im looking for. Is the ex First Choice 767-300ER 2-3-2 or 2-4-2?

ChrissyR,

All the information is on the first paragraph under Thomson Airways. A seat plan is linked on the third paragraph. Although the aircraft is branded First Choice, the airline operate under Thomson Airways air operators certificate since they merged a couple of years ago. The ex-FCA 767's are 2-3-2 throughout.

Have you tried logging into manage my booking and clicking on the link on that page which is called something like seats and extras


Yep tried that but the same error message comes up, even today when I was told I should be able to book the seats.

Will give them a call in a while and see if I can book by phone.

Called them a few minutes ago and no luck. They couldn't explain why they couldn't get to the seating plan either and suggested I try again in a couple of days time.

Hi
Off to cancun from Newcastle on 31 march. Any ideas what aircraft and seat configuration for this? Also, just seen on the Thomson airways timetable page that this flight arrives an hour earlier than the ones the week before and the week after, getting into CUN at 1340 not 1440. Anyone know why this is? It is meant to be going out via MAN but I don't know if may be the one on 31 March isn't so it's quicker. But then doesn't it need to stop at Manchester for more fuel?
I'm confused lol.
All info much appreciated!

flyingcruiser,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. There are often multiple flights. This ensure we get the correct flight information for you. I'm assuming you're on the NCL-CUN-NCL (TOM662/3)? The flight is operated by a Boeing 767-300/ER, probably an ex-First Choice aircraft and operates via Manchester outbound for a technical (fuel) stop. This is due the the runway at Newcastle now being long enough to allow the aircraft to take off with the required fuel load, hence it stops in MAN where the runways are much longer for fuel. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).
