qatarman,
It's way to early to be saying that at this stage. It looks like the first couple will be delayed (first one was already expected later than scheduled anyway) but there's a couple of months yet. G-TUIA was due in short haul service on 15th Feb with G-TUIB on the 28th and G-TUIC/D in April. If Boeing can come up with a fix, things may get back on track. Bear in mind half of the current long haul 767's were remaining in the fleet for the time being anyway so they'll still be around. G-OOAN, G-PJLO and G-DBLA are expected to leave the fleet at the end of April. IF the 787-8's don't enter service as scheduled, dissapointment should be guided towards Boeing and not Thomson Airways.

Fully agree Darren,but if you read my post it is pointed towards Boeing not Thomson.
Very dissapointed with premium on our Thomson holiday we returned from yesterday.We flew to Puerto Plata on 3rd Jan on flight TOM 070,on arrival we (2 couples) expected our luggage to be some of the first thru...Ours were in the last 10 or so cases!! On our return to Gatwick (18th Jan) again we thought our cases would be first off....Wrong again! The first batch of cases came thru,then nothing....about an hour later more cases started to filter thru and again ours were practically last. Not impressed...So much for priority luggage offload. Have since been told that our luggage should have had priority labels attached at the check in desks,this did not happen in or outwards.

priority baggage ended w11 season so its no longer sold as a perk for premium service.

We have flown PE twice with Thomson (Aruba and Mexico) and our luggage has never been offloaded first either outbound or inbound.
milliemeg,
I've yet to see priority luggage that premium passengers were supposed to get get off loaded first. I've sometimes got mine way before some of hte premium passengers and sometimes way after. They just go on with everone elses it seems.

Forget the priority luggage - on the last couple of times we have flown Premium we haven't even been given priority boarding on the return leg!! 
Cancun last year we were stood with 6 others all Premium passengers ours were the last batch.
I totally agree.....every time we have flown premium our luggage has been in the last dozen cases coming through......did hit lucky one year when we went to Tenerife (not premium) arrived at carousel and our cases were in the first 10 to come out 
.....only problem being we still had to wait over an hour for the rest of our coach

Priority luggage hasn't been part of the premium package for a number of years. Gone are the days when you got a luggage tag designating priority offloading.
Do Thomson's still give out landing card's for Sharm El Sheikh?
Thank you Darren.
Thanks for all of your replies,I will know for next time....If i go premium again,not convinced it is worth the extra £££s.
When flying Virgin Premium Economy we have not had either priority disembark or luggage i have even in Manchester had my case nearly last when arriving Business Class on Qatar Airways.
Thomsons first 787 painted with nowhere to go...yet.

Fingers crossed they can sort the problems as I am booked to hopefully travel on one of these in May.

Me three... On 23rd, Hope they get it sorted
There is some talk that it might take a year to solve the Nightmareliner problems. I hope it is not true but you never know, it must be 3 years late now.
I think if I was brave enough to fly on this plane I would pop a fire extinguisher in my hand luggage and perhaps a parachute, just in case.
What a mammoth cock up Boeing have made, but at least with the planes being plastic they won't rust while they are parked.
Darren, keep calm I'm joking.
