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!
Stephen
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).

Hi Darren
Many thanks and apologies for omitting the flight number - it is indeed TOM662.
any idea how it arrives in CUN one hour earlier (1340) then the same flights the week before and after, despite leaving NCL at the same time (0755). I see this on the thomson airways timetable page:
Newcastle > Mexico, Cancun, 24 Mar 12-24 Mar 12
TOM 0662
07:55
14:40
Newcastle > Mexico, Cancun, 31 Mar 12-31 Mar 12
TOM 0662
07:55
13:40
Newcastle > Mexico, Cancun, 07 Apr 12-28 Apr 12
TOM 0662
07:55
14:40
Many thanks again
cheers

Hi Stephen ... the flight duration appears to be the same on each of those dates, the different timings are probably due to the clocks changing. Your flight is on 31 Mar, which is the week after clocks go forward in the UK, but the week before clocks go forward in Mexico.

... and I feel a bit stupid for not thinking of that!

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.
I booked my seats on line yesterday and I fly on May 19th
Flying to Antalya on may 25th TOM436 and return on TOM513 from MAnchester - which aircraft will it be Thanks
flyingcruiser,
The aircraft operates a cruise charter to Barbados (TOM586/7) the day before, arriving back in the early hours of Sunday (0555) for your flight later that morning.

oap,
MAN-AYT-MAN (TOM436/513) are traditionally a Boeing 767-300/ER, but I won't be able to confirm it until the beginning of May.

Even more helpful info - many many thanks again.
Can anyone advise which aircraft Thomson Airways uses for flight numbers TOM 602/TOM 603. Stansted - Enfidha - Stansted?
Travelling on 8 August 2012.
Returning on 15 August 2012.
The flight is scheduled to leave at about 6am and we are travelling with 2 kids so were thinking of not getting to the airport when check-in opens at 4am. Is there any truth in the rumour that Thomson (and possibly other airlines) will have already allocated our seats, together, before we check in (negating the necessity to pay £50 for the privilege)? Or do they have to seat at least one of us with each child anyway so we won't be dotted in four single seats around the plane?
Many thanks in advance.

minime007,
Welcome onboard
STN-NBE-STN (TOM602/3) should be operated by an Airbus A320-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seating is allocated the day before the departure so you can't request seating on the day. This is done using a best fit model taking in to account those that have already pre-selected and pre-booked seating together. Those that havenlt will be allocated seats once those have been taken in to account. There are no guarantees those who haven't reserved seating will be sat together, although the model will seat as many as they can together, especially children who need to be with an adult. For peace of mind, that's what the seating services are for.

Stanstead should be having two 737's this summer, rather than one A320 and one 737. So the flight should be a 737-800
