LovesJA,

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".

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

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?

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

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 Ã‚£5, drink needs to be paid for. That's why they are sort of inbetween full fare scheduled and no frills.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

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.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

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 :cheers

TOM4356/7 lgw fue

hi, i think we've decided not to book the extra legroom as there is probably more chance of seats being separated by the aisle???

assuming the aircraft is the same as the answer you gave to my previous post .... 737-800, could you tell me which rows the IFE screens are located, also do all rows have windows and recline.

sorry for all the questions but hubby is a very nervous flyer

thanks

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

tracytreacle1,

Why would there be more chance of being seperated by an isle on the extra legroom rows? They are configured 3-3 just like every other row. I assume it's because you're travelling as a couple and therefore think you may be seated across the isle if other couples are on those rows? There may be a slightly increased risk, but it's the nature of aircraft seating. IFE screens are approximately every 4 rows but it won't be much use to you as there's no IFE shown on the aircraft. All the information is on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). 95% of the rows have windows and all seats recline.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

flyingbrick,

Welcome onboard :tup

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. This ensures we get the correct information for you as there are often multiple flights. BHX-SFB-BHX (TOM796/7) are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). You should be flying on a V2 configured aircraft. There's no window on row 9 in premium.
