After booking my holiday last April for this Summer I am so looking forward to going to Mexico and now feel that as we long as we get there safely I dont mind if its a 767 ...... would be disappointed if I dont get premium cabin but at the end of the day safety if paramount. In all honesty anything has to be better than cattle class on Thomas Cook Long Haul Airbus..... worst cramped seats I have ever encountered and the IFE was rubbish as well. Thomsons Long Haul all the way in future no matter how much cheaper their holidays are.

I agree with this totally....i should still get my extra space seats which is fine by me. So many people on thomsons FB page are moaning.

Hi Darren

Please can you tell me whether BHX-SFB TOM630 12th May is ex FCA or ex Thomsonfly. Thanks.

Maybe I'm looking on the wrong Group. Which one is it?

Sunaddict,

BHX-SFB-BHX (TOM630/1) should be an ex-FCA although things could change subject to the issues with the 787-8.

Previous years I've found that its been possible to access "Select my Seat" before the 90 day window from return date, but this year no sign yet and we return on 13th May from DR which I make 90 days...anyone else finding delays ? Could it be due to the state of flux re 787 situation??

I think actually they are working to 91 days at present. I recently booked my seats to/from Sharm el Sheikh and thats a 757 so unlikely a Dreamliner fiasco issue and I tried daily, it only let me book at the 91 day return flight mark.

z.j.c,

I assume you mean TOM144/5? It's an ex-FCA according to the schedule.

Really ticked off with thomsons now - decided that because its important to me to be in premium that I would change my holiday completely away from dreamliner Mexico in May and expected charges of £50 each to do so. Not the case £300!! It's shocking I was happy to waiver the extra price I had paid for the Dreamliner that may or may not arrive and ok ish with £100 fee but £300 extra is beyond a joke :(

Looks like they are wanting to cash in on all the people wanting to change holidays now they wont be on the dreamliner, bet it was in the small print as a precaution in case boeing failed to deliver yet again.

noooooobs,

A change of aircraft has been in the small print for a numbers of years, nothing has changed their. Aircraft can change at any time due to operational reasons. While it's unfortunate those looking forward to the 787-8 in May may not experience it now, subject to what happens with Boeing over the next few weeks, there's not a lot Thomson can do about it. It's not their fault, it's Boeings. This isn't cashing in as you put it, it's just the way it is. What's more important, 1 or 2 weeks in the sun or the type of aircraft that takes you their? While I can understand dissapointment, surely it's the holiday that counts. I can't understand why people would want to cancel their holiday purely on the basis it's a different aircraft that's taking them their. If you don't want the holiday based on an alternative aircraft, that has the same basic facilities as the 787-8, then you'll have a cancellation fee.

Totally agree with you darren, im flying to mexico on the 23rd and still going lol. Was just saying that in the small print somwhere there will be hefty fees for cancellation or moving holidays, there always is. Which is understandable as thomson will loose that money and possibly wont resell it in the small amount of time left to advertise.
