Most scheduled airlines are 31" pitch in economy.

And it really is a truly ghastly way to start a holiday. No matter what size one is.

I’m a skinny little 5foot8 runt – and I have done longhaul 31 inches several times, and it is HORRIBLE!
BA – horrible. Monarch - even worse. Thomas Cook 767 longhaul just as bad.

First Choice broke the mould with their 767 offering way back 6 years ago which was great and still is the best way to do long haul charter economy. The only thing to come close to matching it is to fly scheduled economy on something like Qatar or Emirates.

FCA 767 is BETTER than the much advertised Dreamliner 787, since available width per passenger on the Dreamliner 787 has been REDUCED by over an inch to get the 9 rows in across the plane.
They do not tell you that in the ads!

z.j.c,

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

Hello

Just wondering if anyone can confirm out of the 10 767's in Thomson's fleet currently which ones are in the long haul configuration and which in the short haul?

I take it all the ex-FCA are in Long Haul config but what are the ex-TOM (YD,YF,YH,YG) currently in?

Also, which 767's were "due" to leave the fleet in replace of the dreamliners?

Thanks

All 6 ex-FCA are long haul, the ex-TOM are short haul at present. The 3x ex-FCA 763's due to leave and be replaced by 787-8's were G-OOAN, G-PJLO and G-DBLA. Even if the ex-FCA's leases are extended to cover the summer season, its not that simple as there are capacity issues. View my post here.
