Also how do you track the flights to see what planes are operating the routes?

chelle_375,

MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM 122/3) are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. Row 9 doesn't have a window in premium. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our what Aircraft? guide (link below).

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-AYT-LGW (TOM286/7) are scheduled to be operated by Boeing 767-300/ER (short haul) until 30th October, although the flight on the 16th October was operated by Boeing 737-800 for some reason. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Milliemeg,

IFE for your flight won't be released until the start of January. It's changed every 2 months. I update the listing once it's changed on the aircraft, and update the link on our What Aircraft? guide. Meals are normally a choice of chicken or beef.

woodward,

As wizard mentioned, please quote all your flight information as there are often several flights. This ensures we get the correct information for you. Flights to Marsa Alam are normally operated by Boeing 757-200 or Boeing 737-800.

Could i please ask why tom670 was showing as leaving from luton-sanford today (thursday). This flight is always newcastle-sanford. i only ask because i am watching this flight as i am away soon . Also does this flight from newcastle always return to newcastle ? A friend returned last week on this flight and i was told by him that he could not have his seat in premium because it was a thomson plain and not an ex fca, so what happens there? refund or not as there was 4 people in his party booked into premium .

Cheers

Best guess is that it is one of the last flights of the season and positioning out empty to Sanford.

Grahamy,

I've just had a look at the schedule, and from what I can see, it's the last flight out of the summer season so it's positioning out empty to operate the return TOM671. That's why it's positioning from LTN as it's not taking passengers from NCL. When the flight operates as normal, it operates from and to Newcastele as it's a return flight for those passengers who travelled the week / 2 weeks previous. It sounds like there was a change of aircraft at the last minute on your friends flight, hence a reduced number of premium seats. This is normally due to a technical problem or at this time of year, operational reasons. They'll get a full refund for premium seats not allocated.

Thanks Darren for the reply.

I am quite surprised the Florida season ends so soon as the weather is still great over there, or does it continue from the main airports ?

Grahamy,

There are still flights from MAN and LGW, it's only some of the regional airports that don't have long haul destinations through the winter season.

Hi, I was wondering if you knew what aircraft Thomson were basing at Cardiff airport for the winter season, I'm guessing that its a single 737-800 ? And are Thomson continuing the long haul routes through out the winter season ? La Romana, Bridgetown for example ?

meyrick,

It's a 738 as far as I know and you'll find the long haul routes listed on their flight schedule.
