I am also looking to go to Orlando next year for my holidays and have been pricing up Thomson, BA and Virgin Atlantic with Thomsons new premium prices they are only bringing themselves into line with both BA and Virgin.

However the premium service/hard product that will be offered on Thomsons Dreamliner from next year will surpass both scheduled carriers. Its not cheap, but its a fair market price.

hello i am travelling with thomson airways on the 24th may 2013 i knowmit is a long time away but thought i would give it a try. i know i will be travelling on a 767 but do you know if it will be a thomson aircraft orma ex first choice plane ?
many thanks kane

i am travelling to punta cana, dominican republic from london gatwick and would like too see some new pictures of the cabin, seat & food if possible and would like to know how long it should take to fly there
thanks also i would be highly grateful if you new if my aircraft would be thomson livery (2-4-2) or ex first choice (2-3-2) many thanks

Kaneohighflyer,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information as there are several flights from LGW-PUJ. Subject to your flight number, your flights should be operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including links to aircraft and cabin photos. The flight time is approximately 9.5 hours subject to winds and weather on the day.

Hi Darren

Off to Kos next week weds 17 October on flight TOM2308 from Manchester. Any idea where the flight before comes in from? As it is an early morning departure it should leave time for ctaching up on any delays?

Thanks again
Malcolm

Malchester,

It's the first flight out for that aircraft, it night stops so there's not a flight immediately before it.

Darren

That was quick

Thanks again Darren

Malcolm

Dazbo HT Mod,
Thanks for quick reply. And sorry forgot to mention that my flight (LGW-PUJ) is departing on the 24th may 2013 & inbound: 4th june and lands on the 5th june (PUJ-LGW) (Thomson Airways).
And my flight number is TOM050 (Outbound) & TOM045 (inbound).

Hope you can find out.
Many thanks, kane

Kaneohighflyer,

Thanks for the additional information. Your aircraft details are as above.

Darren

do you have any pictures of the bulkhead seats or extra legroom ? on the ex FCA 767 ? New ones if possible please as have seen all of them on here.
many thanks !!

Kaneohighflyer,

Any new ones will only be the same as the ones I've already posted on the link! Bulkhead and extra legroom seats are shown.

Darren

Dazbo
to ensure my wife and I have have a good journey (first time with Thomson)
if possible can you please tell me what kind of plane we will be on?
We usually go with Monarch and pay for extra legroom, it`s not allowed on thomson airways as my wife is disabled. Flight number TOM 2138 and TOM2139 10/6/2013 return 24/6/2013

Jeff.

Jeffro,

MAN-PMI-MAN (TOM2138/9) are likely to be operated by Boeing 737-800 or Boeing 757-200. I'll be able to confirm it closer to the time.

Hi

This is a multiple question post .

Just got back from Tenerife last week on TOM 5553 5th October and flew out on TOM 5610 from Stansted to PMI on 29th Sept - the flights were not just cruise passengers and some may have been with Saga (?) or perhaps just non cruise hotel package customers - but when checking in they asked us where we would like to sit both when checking in outbound at Stansted and inbound also at TFS - even though the flights turned out to be 99% full both ways - my questions is :- Have they therefore stopped preallocating seats please the "night before " ?

My other question relates to our next holiday where we fly from LGW to Lisbon on 9th Dec on TOM4794 and return from BGI to LGW on TOM0079 on 23rd Dec 2012 - Are they preallocating seats please ? And what types of aircraft are currently allocated to these flights please ?

Fourthly - is there any truth to the rumour that if you prebook odd ball inflight meals eg gluten free or healthy eating they automatically sit you together and next to each other eg seats a and b or
does that only apply to the inflight champagne flightextras or does it make no difference ?

Sorry for 4 questions in one post !

Thank you.

HuddersfieldTourist,

Your flights were cruise charters, not mainline Thomson flight so it's handled in a different way. Thomson are appointed to operate the flight to the specification of the cruise. That's why there's a difference between normal Thomson check-in and your cruise charter. Seating is pre-alloated on mainline flights, but not on ad-hoc charters. If your next flights are also cruise charters, then seats probably won't be pre-allocated on that flight. The flights should be operated by Boeing 767-300/ER, certainly the return is. If you book special meals, they are just given to whatever seat number you are in. You don't get allocated a particular seat just because you have a special meal ordered, same with champagne.

Darren

Thanks Dazbo can I ask what the second number is please ie 737/200 737/800

Jeff

Jeffro,

The return flight is always the same aircraft type as the outbound (hence TOM2138/9).

Darren

Sorry Dazbo what I meant was what does the 200/800 mean

Jeff

Jeffro,

It's the aircraft type. The first number is the aircraft model, the second number the series. For example, the first Boeing 737 was a -100 series (737-100). Over the years, size increases and updates have created new series of the aircraft so there's been the -200, -300, -400 etc. Thomson are operating the 737-800 series, one of the later series in the 737 family.
