NicNac32,

Welcome onboard
LGW-RHO-LGW (TOM4364/5) are operated by Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) with a seating plan showing exit rows.

Darren

uno28,

Your aircraft normally comes in from Alicante (TOM7604/5) normally and is likely to be G-OOBC, but could change for operational reasons between now and tomorrow.

Darren

milliemeg,

TOM070/1 are operated by Boeing 767-300/ER. It'll likely be a former First Choice, but I can confirm that nearer to your fligh. You'll find extensive aircraft information including seat plans on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seating by the windows are in pairs but avoid row 9 as there is no window on that row. If they both want to sit at the fron, you can always go for both front rows but then you'll have the centre seats in the way.

Hi Darren,

I am flying from LGW - MBA (TOM076-077) Kenya on the 9th of November. Just wondering if you know if they are using the exe Tom 767 or ex FCA 767's for this route?
The reason I ask is on our return from Cuba last year they subbed in the exTOM 767 and I didn't find it a pleasant experience! Too many seats crammed in for an 8-9 hour flight IMO. Especially as I had a 4 hour drive home straight after.

Many thanks

Just checked my photos and it was G-OBYD we returned on last year.

noooooobs,

LGW-MBA-LGW (TOM076/7) are ex-FCA 76W's. Enjoy Kenya, one omy favourite places.

Darren

Thanks Darren,

Cannot wait!

Sorry me again,

Do you know if rows 29-31 will have windows?

James

noooooobs,

Those rows have windows.

Darren

Thanks,

Not that it matters in the flight out, but should cheer me up on the way back.

Many thanks.

Thanks a lot for that Darren.Will check again before the holiday.

For information, I've updated the long haul IFE listing for September / October 2012, linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Darren, my daughter has flown out on honeymoon this morning to Aruba from Gatwick on TOM024 - I've just noticed that the Manchester return flight (TOM195) from yesterday, has only just left Aruba some 17 hours late. Do you know if this was weather related or a technical issue?? Hopefully not weather!!!!

brewerdave,

It shouldn't be weather related as most flights have been running to schedule in that area. It's likely to have been a tech issue.

Darren

Thanks Darren - here's hoping that you are right for my daughter's sake - but sorry for the weary Manchester bound travellers !!

The crew that were planned to operate the inbound flight got stuck in Miami airport whilst positioning on another carrier. Which caused a bit of a headache for the inbound. The aircraft was fine but the situation was beyond Thomsons control.

Hi
Could you please tell me which aircraft will be operating flight TOM392/3 Ncl-man-cun-ncl on the 5/10 please as we have just upgraded to premium class, also if by some problem it is not a ex, fca aircraft and is a tom 763 will we still get our premium seats?

Also can you please tell me which Longhaul 763 aircraft have rows 1 and 2 as we have requested these seats but thomson airways stated that all they can do is put a request in to the checkin staff which they have done as they stated that these seats are generally reserved for disabled pax/crew and if they are going to be available they will only be released at point of checkin on day of departure And when they know exactly which aircraft layout is operating the flight, what do you think our chances are of gettin these seats?

Thanks
Jay

NCL-MAN-CUN-NCL (TOM392/3) are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. If the aircraft, for operational reasons is changed to a ex-TOM, then it's unlikely you'll get a premium seat as they are in short haul configuration. It's a question of whether you'd prefer an extensive delay and lose a day or your holiday, or wait for the aircraft to be servicable and get your premium seats. I know what I'd choose! You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) with links to seats plans for the aircraft that'll answer your questions with regards to row 1 and row 2. Aircraft are rotated regularly, but 5 of the 6 aircraft have the V2 configuration so is the likely aircraft for your flights, although the V1 aircraft was used twice in August. Does it really matter if you get the front seats? They're all basically the same and don't have any major advantage over other seats. The premium cabin is nice regardless of the row number. The only advantage is you don't get people reclining in to your space, they don't have much more seat pitch as and the screens fold out of the arm rest. You can only request them and wait and see.

Darren

Darren,

Yes it does matter while in essence the actual structure/cosmetic eg. leather trim etc of all the seats in the premium cabin are exactly the same it was just a personal preference, as at point of upgrading to premium class just last week there are no window seats left in premium class cabin on both inbound/outbound flight TOM392/3 and while this is just a personal preference I feel really confined in the centre aisle seats for such a long flight not to the point where i hyperventilate or anything extreme just a preference really, while in hindsight i regret not upgrading to premium class from the outset as we booked well in advance having booked since almost a year prior to departure, but it was really a last min decision, but if we didnt get our req for the front rows then am happy to just grin and bear it i guess.

Also can i just clarify when you say if it is changed to a ex.TOM aircraft it is unlikely we will get a premium seat will we still receive the actual premium services etc better meal choice/comp drinks/tv upgrade etc though just not an actual premium seat e.g. more leg room?
