Hi,

Great site and forums, only just discovered!

We are due to fly Manchester to Cancun, 14 Aug 2012 flight TOM 122
Cancun to Manchester, 25 Aug 2012 flight TOM 145

Are you able to tell us which B767-300 (V.1,V.2, V.3 specifically) will be allocated for these flights, and do you have any info on its previous destination etc.

We have pre booked our seats but are unsure as to whether we have made a decent choice!

Thanks in advance! :D

Hi chrisANDnic

welcome to HT its a great site and full of people who love to help with any queries you may have.
Regarding your question all the longhaul aircraft that Thomson use are great. What seat numbers have you booked?

chrisANDnic,

Welcome onboard :tup
MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM122/145) are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. 5 out of 6 of these are in the V2 configuration so is the likely one. Other than a couple of rows, the V1 and V2 are the same. You won't know which it will be until the day of the flight as they are swapped and changed weekly. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). The aircraft operateing TOM122 comes in from Cancun (TOM174/5). The aircraft operating TOM145 is the outbound flight, TOM144.

Hi dinner-lady & Darren,

Thanks for your advice, very useful. We have booked 19A & 19B for our flights, looking at the plan of a V2 these appear to be in front of a gap??!

chrisANDnic,

Row 19 is in front of the overwing exit row on the V2 aircraft. These are excellent seats as you can recline your seat without causing any problems to those behind. I spent a happy 14 hours in those once! They are standard seats in the V1.

topofthetower,

IFE for July / August is released at the beginning of July. I've just updated the listing linked from our What Aircraft? guide for that period.

Hi Darren,
You previously told me my flights to Antalya (TOM 512 and TOM 437) are being operated by a 767/757 respectively. Do you know where the planes come in from prior to operating these flights? I think the return flight - TOM 437 - comes in from Ibiza before coming to pick us up but can't work out where the TOM 512 comes in from. Would just like to know to keep an eye out for delays etc

As always, many thanks for your help :tup

Darren,

Thanks for the info, looks like we have made a fortunate choice then! :tup

We have flown long haul with FT 5 years ago to Holguin but we can't remember much about it, other than we had no issues. :sun2

Thanks again

SparklingDust,

Technically, they are a vastly different aircraft. From a passengers perspective though, there's not a lot of difference. The configuration is pretty much the same, it's just the 757-200 is a longer aircraft and therefore has more rows of seats. You'll find links to aircraft photos and seat plans on our What Aircraft? guide.

Thank you again.
Another question if you or anybody else is able to answer. What is the seat pitch on the 737-800 that i will be flying on like? Is it one of the newer ones?
Reply
SparklingDust,

All that information is on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seat pitch is 28" although the majority of aircraft have the slimline seats fitted that feel more like 30" seat pitch. It's impossable to tell if it's one of the newer ones at this stage as aircraft are rotated pretty much weekly.

Hi guys

Flying EDI-ACE on 30Aug can anyone confirm the aircraft? Heard rumours Monarch 757-200?

lanzaman,

Welcome onboard :tup
Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. There are several flights so it's difficult to comment on specific flights unless we know which one you're on. Thomson have leased a Monarch Airlines Boeing 757-200 to operate some flights from EDI, it's no rumour. Further details here. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). In terms of onboard experience, there's no difference between TOM and MON.

geemac,

IFE is linked on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). I update it as soon as I get it at the beginning of every month, although it was a day earlier this time!

When Thomsons say you can select your seat 90 days from departure etc. do they actually stick to the 90 days or are they flexible ?

I've already booked my seats going out but for my return flight for which 90 days will be on Friday, would they take my request today (93 days) ? or would I be wasting my time trying.
