Hi Darren been watching Tom 2700 to Larnaca and it seems it over the past 3 weeks has been a minimum of 60mins late leaving Manchester last week 98mins late any reason for this?? As this is the first outbound of the day for this fight.

Silly question if that is the case why schedule them this way or am i missing something. That means pax have an extra 1hour to sit in Larnaca Airport or are Thomson Fly not interested in this??

I presume they are of the attitude its the handling agent that should be doing the work to get them out on time

Hi there

I'm looking at booking flights EMA (TOM 0676) to SFB in September was wondering if you could give any info on the type of aircraft that will be used, I assume it'll be a 767 if so will it be an ex First Choice Airways or will it be a TUI aircraft?

I'm also considering booking into premium, is it worth it?

Thanks in advance

Welcome onboard :tup
EMA-SFB-EMA (TOM676/7) are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). The premium upgrade is personal preference. If you want the extra seat pitch, complimentory (not free!!) drinks and all the other perks that go with it, then yes, it might be worth it for you. Personally, I find the economy cabins more than adequate and I'd rather save the money and use it to pay for my diving, put towards a nicer hotel or other activities whilst in resort. You can upgrade the IFE for £5 in economy to the premium offering, how many drink do you have inflight to justify paying the extra, I get 5kg extra luggage allowance anyway with my diving qualifications, so it's only the extra seat pitch really. To me, it's a nice way to travel for a treat but not something I do but you may think differently. If you've never been in the premium cabin, give it a go but it's not the same as flying premium economy on many of the scheduled airlines. If all you want is more room, extra legroom seating is much cheaper, especially of you can get row 20 (or 28, subject to the aircraft on the day) as this is the rommiest row on the aircraft being the over-wing exit.

Thanks for a very prompt reply :-)

My other half thinks it's essential to have a window seat for the flight as a result do all of the seats in groups of 2 have a good view out?

Also where is best to try and be seated in PE?

Most of the pairs of seats have a window. However there are a few rows that don't. If you avoid the first 5 rows in economy, the row infron of the overwing exit and rear 2, the rest have a window. Row 9 in premium on the V2 configurated aircraft doesn't have a window.

It's been decided that were going in premium, first holiday for sometime so he's decided on a bit of luxury.

Where's best to sit in premium for a window?

See my previous posts. It's personal preference. Just avoid row 9, the others all offer the same facilities other than the front row. You'll find cabin photos and photos of the seats linked from our What Aircraft? guide.

hello
do you know which type of plane i will be flying on please. we are going to mexico with thomson on the 23rd June 2012 (TOM144) from Manchester and we have booked premium seats but i did not realise i needed to book seats together until today (think i have left it too late) and when i have looked it looks like i might have to sit apart from my husband for a 10 hour flight which i am not happy about. i think the configuration is 2-3-2 when i saw the seat plan, but i hope i am wrong. thanks

BEfreeTODAY just seen your reply i cannot belive that the handling agents at an International airport are unable to get flights off the ground on time,maybe they need changing,terrible state of affairs to passengers,i did note that nearly all Thomson Fly flights were 30mins+ leaving good job its not Heathrow??

Sorry, I must have missed that bit with rushing to get posts answered before work this morning. TOM530/1 are also a Boeing 737-800. You might have seen flights to Monastir in the winter season (November - end April). We're currently in the summer season (May - end October).
