LGW-HOG-LGW (TOM094/5) is a former FCA 76W on a 2 weekly rotation at the moment, with an ex-TOM on the other weeks. Unless things change before your flight, the flight on the 28th Feb should be an ex-TOM, 7th March ex-FCA and 14th March ex-TOM.

Welcome onboard :tup
I don't have the full flight schedule for Summer 2011 as yet, I should get it towards the end of March if you want to ask again. If it's an ex-FCA aircraft (as last summer), then it should be non-stop. If it's an ex-TOM, it'll operate via MAN (fuel) outbound unless it's weight restricted.

Hi

Im looking at booking our honeymoon to the Maldives, Male (MLE) from London Gatwick on the 3rd July on flight TOM 054 at 18:00.

Do you know what type of plane it is? and if its an ex first choice or Thomson?

Thanks

Richard

Daz,

Thanks for the quick reply re tom 094/095 on the 28th feb and 14th mar, we are a party of 6 flying in premier and from what you say it's an ex tom a/c on both our legs which I think has reduced premier capacity over the ex fca a/c?
If this is the case then how do they decide who gets refused the premier cabin? Is it first come first serve or if the seats you booked on-line on the pre-booked seats don't exist in the tom a/c cabin then it's a 'sorry but those seats are not on this particular a/c'

As I work in the industry I understand things happen but as we are booked in rows 7,8 &9 A&B this is the back of the premier cabin and probably not in the premier section of the tom a/c so would be good to let my party know in advance if it is unlikely to get seated up the front.

Kind regards

Ant.

I beleive TOM organise it based on booking date, but that's something you'll need to ask them if it happens. TOM094/5 has been swapped and changed on a 2 weekly basis from what I can see and has been since the start of the year so I'm assuming it's going to continue. You should really be informed if things have changed and you won't be in premium.

The ex Thomsonfly 767's have been going direct lately with full passenger loads.... Don't know why they can magically do it all of a sudden though. Maybe no cargo.

Does this mean the flight will almost certainty be direct?

From the information at the moment, it'll be non-stop. Direct in aviation terms doesn't mean non-stop, there's a subtle difference. Direct just means you don't change aircraft, but can involve a stop onroute, eg BHX-CUN, with a fuel stop in MAN is classed as direct.

Do Thomson have IFE on their short haul flights :que

Jay Trip,

IFE is currently available on all flights apart from those operared by the Boeing 737-300's.

Its not confirmed yet, it is something that the company are looking to remove ofF flights under 7hours(single aisled aircraft) in line with Thomas Cooks change last year. They are removing inflight meals from Nov 1st 2011 so any changes to the IFE will probably be the same time, could be sooner.
