I need more information than that to give aircraft information. Where are you flying from? What dates? Flight numbers?

Further Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner seating information that I've been given;
The economy club cabin will have 60 seats with slightly different seat pitch to the advertised 34". 24 seats in the middle cabin will have 36" seat pitch (equivalent to the 767 premium cabin, believed to be the first four rows) and 46 seats will only have 33" seat pitch (equivalent to the current 767 economy cabin). The remaining 186 seats will have the advertised 34" seat pitch. All seats in premium club will have the advertised 38" seat pitch.
Seat recline on the right hand side of the premium club cabin will be one inch less at 3" recline, on the left it'll be 4" recline. The centre seats will have 5" recline. The recline in Economy centre seats will be 6".

That's going to make for some interesting pricing...Premium;extra leg room;extra,extra leg room; Premium short....................
Crickey, there's nothing like making it all different!
Surely the aircraft is symmetrical hence the left and right should have the same recline?
24 seats of 36" is very odd - as they are all triplets - that's 8 sets of seats - guess there must be a toilet there!
What about seats by exits?
Not really fair on those who get an inch less at 33" - every inch counts I've been told!
So the 787 is essentially a 4-class aircraft - mad!

Flying with Thomsons to Costa Dorada in June with our 5 month old. I know she hasn't got a luggage allowance but will she be allowed an in-flight bag 
Also will they carry a buggy and a travel cot free of charge. Thanks.

Thank you very much

If flying with Thomson, infants under 2 have their own hold luggage allowance of 10kg, but I believe NO hand luggage allowance (as they are unable to carry this on themselves) therefore you will have to put all the bottles, food, nappies etc etc in your own hand luggage and this counts towards your 5kg hand luggage allowance. Thomson will accept the buggy and carry it free of charge and you should be able to keep baby in it right up to the gate when you can hand it over to the handling staff and they will put it in the aircraft hold (in theory as it is last in the hold, it should be first out the other end but this doesn't always happen in practice!). The travel cot however is NOT free of charge and will have to be packed with your hold luggage and will count towards your overall hold luggage allowance.
Cheers.

luceeley,
Welcome onboard
Row 19 have full recline with the advantage of nothing directly behind so you don't encroach in others space. You'll find extensive aircraft information including aircraft, cabin and seat photos as well as seat maps on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

...................assuming they get delivered in May - I can still remember the glossy brochures from Spring 2008 WHEN THEY WERE DUE FOR 2009 !!
brewerdave wrote:assuming they get delivered in May
They'll be in service for a few months prior to then. May 2013 is the introduction to long haul. Crew training and familiarisation flights will be commencing early 2013 with the first aircraft expected in January 2013.
The leases on two of the long haul, ex-FCA Boeing 767-300/ER's expire in the summer with a reduction in the long haul fleet, hence some long haul destinations aren't available later in the year. G-DBLA's lease expires in June 2012 and G-PJLO in August 2012 (dates to be confirmed).

qatarman,
MAN-LCA-MAN (TOM2700/1) are scheduled to be operated by Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul) between 27th May and 7th October. Up to the 20th May, it's a Boeing 737-800 and from 14th October until the end of the month, it's a Boeing 757-200.

Thank you Darren
I don't believe the 767s are going now that info is outdated.
If you have a look at the schedule for July - September there are still 10 767's in there being all the ex FCA and OBYH/F/G/D
Destinations were 'chopped' due to low bookings

..Being serious for a moment, is that why some Manchester destinations have been "chopped"? There's been a lot of moans about M'cr- Mombasa dropping off the programme.
brewerdave,
The way I understand it, yes. Due to the severe delays in the 787's being delivered, the aircraft leases are coming to an end and they aren't being renewed as the 787's were to replace them. Chopped destinatations are likely to be reintroduced at some stage.

Hi Dazbo, I just wondered if you knew how many Dreamliners they are having delivered and when we will be able to have a look at them at either MAN or EMA....
As i say still 10 B76 flights per day in the programme for July-Sept 
dinner-lady,
The latest information I have is the first one is due in January 2013, with 3 others through 2013 but I don't have dates for them as yet. With several delays to the programme, all the dates I had for the first few aircraft last year have long gone!
