Hi Darren
I have just been reading Thomsons Wiki page and in the fleet section it states that during the 2012/13 winter season all of their 757's will be re configured from 233 to 221 seats.
Do you know if this is true?
if so howm much extra leg room will it give and when will these revised layouts be in service?
cheers
Rogerdoger,
That explains why I didn't see it for your dates of travel! That flight number is commonly used for the SID flight as well. As it's a cruise charter you're on (I assume), I don't have that information to hand at the moment as the flights don't commence until 23rd December. It's a Boeing 767-300/ER (ex-FCA), but I won't have that information until 23rd December if you remind me then.

No just curious, I used to work 733 and 752 so just wondering what it would be in comparison to the last job I had! Believe me, I'd fly on pretty much any aircraft as long as I got the job! I'm presuming it would be a 738 with the routes they have scheduled.
Thanks for the speedy reply.

The reduction in seat numbers on the 757-200 fleet from 233/5 to 221 is to allow a few extra legroom rows towards the front of the aircraft to give premium, comfort and economy areas. It's called operation sparkle aparently and is to bring the fleet in line with their sister airlines. This is the removal of a row in the forward and mid cabin but not the rear so I doubt those further back will have any extra seat pitch. Those up front are likely to have 34" seat pitch for a supliment.

Yes, two 757's have been refitted. I think at least one is based at BHX but it may move!
Thanks for the speedy reply as always Darren.

It's impossable to know the registration this far out, Thomson probabley won't even know that yet! Aircraft are rotated weekly for operatinal reasons. Other than the seat design, it makes little difference. It's the first flight out at 0950 for that aircraft as it night stops.

Ukjode,
Welcome onboard
The stop in Manchester is for fuel, subject to the weight of the aircraft and the prevailing weather on the day. The runway at BHX isn't long enough to allow the aircraft to take-off fully fuelled si it needs to top the tanks up in Manchester and use the longer runways their. BHX is having a 400m runway extension so this will be a thing of the past when completed. The aircraft positions in to BHX to early morning to operate your flight.

cheers Darren, how long is it before the registration is usually know? I'd just be interested to know if it has the new 'dreamliner' livery.
Also do thomson still use ex first choice 757's
cheers

It can change up to the morning of the flight. Like I said, it makes little difference other than the seat design and the odd seat. Some of the ex-FCA airframes are still in the fleet wearing old and new liveries.

MAN-POP-MAN (TOM154/5) are ex First Choice. They are sometimes reserved for crew on longer flights, for examplke Cancun, but not normally Rom Rep. As I mentioned, it'll more than likely be a V2 aircraft as there's only 1 V1 in the fleet, but they are rotated pretty much weekly s it's impossable to know this far from your flight.
Darren
Can anyone tell me the reg no of the V1 aircraft please, i have looked and so far i still cant see it.
