I'm afraid not. You'll have to fly long haul for that! It was the Bolivia Special up to the end of April, a pretty good one that.

Would I be correct in saying that most definitely the flights to Cancun from Manchester are using the ex First Choice Boeing 767-300s, with the 2 3 2 seating arrangement?
I've often wondered!

Brilliant thank you so much - MUCH prefer the ex-FC planes!
Qman,
There are 6 weekly flights so it depends on the one (day) you're travelling, but yes.

Good afternoon guys, just booked a last minute deal to Mykonos on 25.5.12. The flight number is TOM2530/1.
Do you know what aircraft type is used on this route please?
Also, I've read on the forum and on Skytrax that Thomson are re-introducing inflight meals. When booking, the website only advertised the inflight snack service (soup, bacon rolls etc.), but didn't give me the option the book a meal. Do you know if the meals are only on certain flights, possibly longer flights?
I must be one of the minority who actually quite enjoyed the inflight meals... Sad I know!
Thanks in advance.

I wonder if anyone (Darren) knows what the line numbers are for the new 787s? I can't find them on my searches!
Also I wonder why Thomson have gone for the GE engine when they have had good service from their RRs on the 757s?
It is nice to buy British when you can.

MAN-JMK-MAN (TOM2530/1) are scheduled to be operated by Boeing 737-300. However, the -300's were supposed to be retired from the fleet at the end of last month although flight logs show they are still operational.

Qman,
The first is test registration ZA317, l/n 92. They already operate GE engines on the 767 fleet and once the calculations were done, were the preferred option over RR for the types of missions flown.

That's a shame I was hoping for one of the newer 737-800's. Don't suppose the 737-300 will be leaving the fleet in the next two weeks? They only have one left in the fleet don't they?
Do you know anything about the inflight meals Darren? Reading posts on Skytrax, people said they'd been reintroduced. Not sure if this just applies to longer flights such as Cape Verde though?
Thanks again.

Darren,
With the IFE (on the 767-300ER) ranging from May-June, our flight is on the 30th June. Does this mean we will be getting what you have put up now?
Thanks,
Luke

Thank you for the information Darren. I think as it is l/n92 it will be the uprated lower weight model, ie a heavier load.
Where do you get your info from? You seem to know everything!

The information I had was the last 733 was being retired at the end of April. However, I know G-THOP is still active as I've seen her flying in/out of MAN this month and the flight logs are showing she's still active as of this afternoon. G-THOP's EASA expirey date is 29/09/2012 suggesting it's still going to be around for the summer season. G-THOO's expires 10/06/2012 but I've not seen her and her last flight was 30th April 2012 when she retired from TOM although she positioned with a Bmi Baby flight prexif suggesting she's joining their fleet.

luke225,
Assuming you're flying long haul, you'll get the IFE listed on the outbound flight, but it'll change for your inbound to the July / August listing. That won't be released until the beginning of July.

Hi, could someone tell me which aircraft is used for TOM4668/9 LGW-FUE. Also if I pay for extra legroom seats, where would I be seated and do you consider it worth the extra money. If next to emergency exit does the door restrict your extra legroom, also do all extra legroom seats still recline? Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for any info 
Hi Darren,
In response to a query about whether aircraft used for Manchester to Cancun would be ex-First Choice, you said: "There are 6 weekly flights so it depends on the one (day) you're travelling, but yes." - can you please tell me if that applies for flights on a Wednesday or Thursday (in November) please?
Also, you've previously said in a post re premium seating: "If all you want is more room, row 20/28 (V2/V1) is the most spacious on the aircraft, just without the added extras" - are they likely to be a V2 or V1 and if so, are rows 20/28 (V2/V1) classed as standard or charged as extra legroom seats?
Thanks

tracytreacle1,
LGW-FUE-LGW (TOM4668/9) are operated by Boeing 737-800. The over-wing exit seats (rows 15 & 16) are fine, they don't restrict legroom or they wouldn't be extra legroom. The ones at the front are behind a bulkhead. All seats have recline.
