Thanks for the quick reply Daz altho my missus might be a bit upset if it goes from MAN as it should be LGW.

Gav

Well spotted! I'm too used to typing MAN, fingers have a habit! MAN flights start with a 0 or 2 on short / mid haul, LGW 0 or 4 so I shouldn't have got it wrong!

Hi We are flying to Cancun from BHX this 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

Sorry for reposting but think my original one got lost in the server upgrade..

luceeley,

It's an ex-FCA as far as I know. Row 19 have full recline and are the last row before the over-wing exits on the V2 aircraft. I spent a very pleasant 14 hours sat in those! You'll find photos of these seats on page 157, also linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below) where you'll find answers to many of your questions.

Edit: Your original post was answered here.

G-OBYG (ex-TOM 76W) was unveiled from Air Livery at Manchester Airport this morning in the new livery, photo here. I must say it looks better on the sleeker 787 than the 767 but it's a little more spritely than the current livery.

Darren

Dazbo,

In an earlier post, you said that my flights TOM 4668/4669 LGW-FUE-LGW on June 9th/16th would be likely to be on one of the two remaining A321s - I've already reserved our seats and have been given row 4 for the return journey.

In the early hours of this morning, I flew back into LGW from PFO on G-OOPE, and was in seat 5C (incidentally - if anyone else is flying on an A321, row 5 seems to have a decent amount of legroom compared to others... just watch your head on the partition - I speak from experience...!!) - whilst on board, I noticed that row 4 is one of the old FCA short-haul premium rows with better seats and a bit of extra legroom, yet I haven't been charged for extra legroom seats... so I was wondering whether I'd had a stroke of luck there, or has there been/is there likely to be an aircraft change... or are rows 1-4 now just sold as standard seats on the A321s?

Thanks in advance,

GK

GoldenKnight,

Those rows have normally been sold as extra legroom seating as they have 34" seat pitch compared the standard 28".

Darren

Dazbo,

Many thanks - sounds as if I may have had an unexpected stroke of luck... I hope it is the A321 again now!!

GK

I hope it is the A321 again now!!

Unfortunately not as its a B737-800.

Brilliant..thank you very much!

Can anyone help with the following questions please. The Inflight Menu online for the Summer Season is that valid in September. And is it still 90days (by Telephone) prior to departure for booking seat numbers for outbound and 90days from return for inbound.

qatarman,

This year I was only able to do my seat selection for both legs 90 days before the return flight. That means that if you are away longer than 7 days then others might have been able to select their outbound seats before you can. Online and phone selection now appear to open the same day.

Thank you Paul.
I will try direct with Thomson Airways 90days prior see what happens. as it is always easier to get through on their lines. Why oh why do they keep moving the goal posts. It was 60days online and 90days by telephone when i did it for our March Mexico trip.

gaz68,

Welcome onboard

EDI-LPA-EDI (TOM1654/5) are indeed operated by Boeing 757-200. You'll find a generic seat map linked from on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). As the 757 is a mixture of ex-FCA and ex-TOM, there are 4 variations to the seat plans. It's only a couple of seats different, but the generic one wll give you 99% of the aircrafts seats. It's actually row 12 that are the door 2 exit / extra legroom seats. These are in pairs due to the emergency exit slides prodruding in to the cabin a little so there isn't a seat F on that row. This row is an exit row rather than emergency exit. I've not see which aircraft is going to be EDI based as yet so it may be a leased one as last year, hence the diffent configuration. If you've booked and paid for extra legroom seating, you'll be assigned them regardless of row number.

Darren

Thanks for your detailed reply. Sorry I couldn't reply sooner but I've had difficulty in logging on to the site this past couple of days!

I'm guessing this particular aircraft is leased as the extra legroom rows are 10 & 31. I chose the seats myself from the map & I had the guy email me the seating plan, & as I said none of the maps I've seen anywhere have row 10 as extra legroom. Maybe I can do a screenshot or something or possibly send you the email.

Thanks,

gaz



Hi Darren,

This Service is starting this Saturday (5 May). Would you be able to find out which aircraft is going to be used as I'm keen to find out, & also to see a seat map if that's possible as well!

Many thanks,

gaz

qatarman,

Seat selection over the phone is from 90 days prior to your inbound flight date. Menus are normally reviewed for the start of each season so may change in May and November for the following 6 months depending on demand for certain items.

Darren

gaz68,

Flights are being operated for Thomson by a Monarch Airlines Boeing 757-200 from EDI. G-DAJB will be operatng them initially but G-MONK for the majority of the summer season.

Darren

Hi there, I am flying to Dalaman with Thomson on 2nd July at 08.25 from Manchester. Thomsons have advise that my aircraft will be YH 767 300. What airline is this please if not Thomsons as I would assume thier flight numbers would satrt with TA.

Thanks

alexkeirmaxmum

This is a Thomson Airways plane, it is a Boeing 767-300 and the YH they have quoted is the last two letters of the registration - in this case the full registration is G-OBYH. The registration is often abbreviated to the final two letters by those 'in the know'. Search online for G-OBYH and you will find info and pics of the plane you will be going on. I'm surprised they know for sure which aircraft it will be as they are rotated weekly for operational and maintenance reasons. If not YH then it should be another of the 767-300s in the fleet. Incidentally, Thomson Airways flight numbers start with TOM, not TA as you may think. Have a great flight.

Dave.

alexkeirmaxmum,

Welcome onboard
As dave74 mentioned, your flights, MAN-DLM-MAN (TOM496/7) are operated by a Thomson Airways Boeing 767-300/ER (short haul / winglets). You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including photos and seat plans.
