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.

Thanks for the reply - the flight to Palma and back from Tenerife in October was from the the Thomson Dream cruise however there were 149 cruise package passengers and the rest of the passengers were either flight only or Thomson holiday package customers etc but this was also seats allocated on departure.
As this package is a Thomson only product ( ie not flights for Fred Olsen or P and O etc) they have in the past been always preallocated in recent years.
The December cruise is also Thomson Dream also but in the past when we have sailed many Thomson Cruise package flights including those which I know have been cruise only passengers the seats have been pre-allocated - eg the last time we had a flight to Lisbon they were pre allocated and that was for the Thomson Destiny - so something has changed either as a temporary thing or permananently !!
So now more puzzled !!
and finds that being able to look out the window helps him.
