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).

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.

THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

I don't believe the 767s are going now that info is outdated.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.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

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.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

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.... :tup

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

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!

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi can you tell me if the plane has been changed on the flight for TOM182 MAN to SFB on 6 may?? Should be an ex first choice. As there has been a few plane changes flying from Manchester and with no premier cabin.

Thank you

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

none of the flights have been substituted this year with no premium cabin as all long haul aircraft have one.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi Darren,

Flying to Cancun on 9 May TOM 196 at 12:20.

Would I be right in assuming that the flight it operates before is TOM 0122 also to Cancun?

I had been wondering why our flight leaves a few hours later than most Cancun flights (which depart in the morning) but looking at the timetable TOM0122 has an extra long turnaround in Cancun of 5 hours instead of the usual 2 hours - any ideas why that might be?

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Usually the first week or so of the season flights tend to operate outside the normal timetable. Quite a few of the aircraft are still undergoing maintenance so the ones still in the UK are spread very thinly. Your aircraft doesn't have long on Cancun but instead flys to another UK airport, instead of back to Manchester and then onto Manchester empty. The later departure is to accommodate this exception to the flying programme. It is quite normal to happen over the first month of each respective season.

Hi We are flying to Cancun from BHX on Thursday 3rd May TOM374 returning 10/05 TOM375 can you tell me if this an ex FCA plane? We have also booked seats 19A & 19B which I think may be in front of the exit seats..do theses seats recline (dont normally but if there is a big space behind may well do

Any info warmly welcomed
