Some 757's are leaving the fleet and are being replaced by 738's. NCL will be all 738's in summer 2013 with long haul operated by 763. Long haul may go 788 from summer 2014.

I meant to say. When I picked my seats for my flight to Goa, the front half of the plane was reserved for people without meals.

I had the meals thrown in as part of the package, but wanted to sit at the front end of the plane.

Not really 100% "Your seat, your choice"!!!

The front rows of the aircraft would be premium economy. Thomsons long haul flights and packages include meals as standard for everyone.

Not the premium bit, but the front half of economy didn't have a image of a knife and fork, but the back half did.

LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM092/3) are operated by ex-FCA Boeing 767-300/ER. The aircraft operates TOM048/9 previously, also from Cancun.

Just a quick questions. We are planning on going to Cancun on the 31st May. Will the B787's be in use by then? Are there any delays on the planned flights for them yet?

Thank.

luke225,

I'll need more information to let you know if it'll be a 787-8. Where are you flying from and what's the flight number? The 787-8's will be operating long haul from May 2013 on selected flights, some of which are Cancun. All the information, including which flights are scheduled to be operated by the 787-8's is on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hello!

I'm thinking of applying as TOM crew out of LBA, please could you tell me if it will be a 738 based their and what routes the aircraft will be flying, as I presume they might charter seats off other airlines.

Many thanks!

Mobor One,

The aircraft operating TOM052/3 comes in from Mombassa (TOM076/7 - most likely) or Montego Bay (TOM024/5).

Rogerdoger,

BHX-SID-BHX (TOM770/1) are operated by Boeing 757-200. Specific aircraft are rotated pretty much weekly so it's impossabe to say this far out which it will be. It makes little difference as they are all the same inside other than the seat design.

crabstick,

If you are thinking of applying as cabin crew, does it matter what aircraft is based? Surely getting the job is more important than the aircraft? Routes out of LBA are all detailed on Thomsons website.
