cagzy,
We're currently under the summer schedule so I can't say exactly what will be operating in the winter (commencing November). However, they should be ex-FCA's. It doesn't matter if it's a V1 or V2 aircraft if you've book the over-wing exit row, you'll get either 20 or 28 depending on the assigned aircraft on the day. 5 of the 6 aircraft are in the V2 (so row 20), and one in the V1 (row 28). The aircraft are swapped and changed weekly so it's impossable to know until closer to the time which will be used on the day of the flight. As an exit row, they are charged as extra legroom seats. There are photos of the seats linked from out What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Thanks for the quick reply Darren. Haven't booked yet, but will pay for extra legroom seats when I do and keep fingers crossed those seats are available when I come to choose!
BTW, if extra legroom seats aren't available, is standard seating pitch bearable on these longhaul flights?
Oh, and do the seats in row 19 v2 or 27 v1 recline please?
Thanks.

Very much so. You are privileged to be flying in one of the most generous economy seat pitches in the world at 33". That's more than the majority of full fare schedudes airlines with many charter passenger quite envious of what we get. For example I'm flying to New York with KLM in a few weeks, they only offer 31" seat pitch like BA, Virgin and the American carriers. I've spent 14 hours onboard an ex-FCA 763, a pretty long flight and found them no problem at all.

Yes. I've sat in row 19 a few times in order to recline the seat on long flights and not intrude on those behind.

I hope that the Top Management at Thomson Fly have looked on Skytrax recently some of the reviews are very bad.
However to Thomson Fly defence we went Man/Cancun in March and as a Business class flyer i thought Premium was very good,IFE not to my taste but i had my ipad.

Thanks again for your quick reply Darren. Don't think I'll bother with extra legroom seats.
Haha, that's why I asked about the rows in front (rows 19 and 27) - I'm too polite to recline! But if there is a large gap then I might just do it.

welshy0151,
The aircraft operating TOM196/7 should be coming in from Cancun (TOM123, most likely) or Sanford (TOM169).

tracytreacle1,
I thought you were flying on the the TOM4668/9 as per your previous post? It's the same aircraft type on the TOM5342/3.

Hi Darren,
I am hoping to book with Thomson later on this week from Birmingham to Montego Bay. I am a little concerned about space with it being a budget airline to Jamaica (in comparison to Virgin/BA) as one member of our party is a larger lady and apprehensive about the flight. Do you know the type of aircraft being used for the flight, and dimensions for seat (arm rest to arm rest) as well as foot space?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome onboard
Thomson Airways (long haul) aren't really a budget airline. They aren't full fare schedule, but not no frills either. They are inbetween. I assume it's the BHX-MBJ-BHX (TOM644/5) flight you're looking at? Flights are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. If you've never flown long haul with them, you're in for a pleasant surprise as they offer greater seat pitch than both BA and VS in economy with the same seat width. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft, cabin and seat photos, seat maps and lots more. Seat width is approximaely 17.5".

Thanks for the welcome and the speedy response.
That's good to hear, especially with such a saving on the price compared to the other airlines.
Is there any additional expense in flight? Would we have to ensure we have money for movies, additional drinks, etc?

LovesJA,
Meals served with tea / coffee are included (main served 2 hours after take-off, snack box 90 mintues prior to landing), movies are complimentory, as are headphones with the option to upgrade to additional and premium movies for £5, drink needs to be paid for. That's why they are sort of inbetween full fare scheduled and no frills.

tigger,
It comes in from Montego Bay, Jamaica (TOM644/5) and it's an ex-FCA all summer. Row 6 is as good as any other in the premium cabin with only row 9 having no window.

buzzer14,
G-OOAN shouldn't be on the BHX rotation this week so it'll be a V2. It's looking like G-DBLA could be on yours, but that can change between now and Thursday. It makes little difference being sat in row 38/39 anyway. Have a great time
