but why did the Cancun flight vanish off of the departures board altogether?

You'll have to ask Gatwick that. When flights get new departure slots, the original flight is sometimes cancelled and rescheduled and hence, removed from the flight information board. I've never found the flight information on LGW's website particularly user friend to be honest.

Darren,is there a better site for tracking arrivals to Gatwick then?? I've got a vested interest as my SIL is flying back from Barbados next Friday evening and we are supposed to be going over to them on Saturday afternoon.

brewerdave,

As long as the flight is ontime, I've found LGW's website to be ok and the first port of call. It's when flights are delayed, cancelled or rescheduled that they don't seem to show the information. FlightStats is about the best for checking on when it departed so you know if it's due in late or not.

Hello

Do you know which aircraft operates on flight TOM 4770, LGW-PVK in May 2011?

Thank you

fpa,

LGW-PVK-LGW (TOM4770/1) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. Same as the TCX flight you're looking at.

Thanks so much Darren

Do you know if any other airline (e.g. Monarch) flies uses an aircraft to PVK with more seat pitch?
Reply
fpa,

Seat pitches for the main charter airlines are given on our What Aircraft? guide. They all offer exactly the same seat pitches. If you want more room, extra legroom seating is available at extra cost and subject to availability. The alternative is to look at scheduled airlines but they don't offer much more and you'll have to connect through Athens.

Re my posting Manchester to Mombasa 9th February, no premier class.
We boarded on time and the first 5 rows were premier. The people in premier had not
been notified, but passengers in rows 6&7 had all been called to say that due to the
aircraft being in for service there would be no premier section on flight.
The crew apologised, and left row 8 vacant, and we all finished up with 2 seats each.
The service was the best ever, and we got a full refund of our outbound premier money.
We had been allocated seats 4c &d, so I presume it was the first to book get the seats
Anyhow, alls well that ends well ;)

Can anyone confirm that the premium "luxury" amenity packs are still not being issued. Are people still not getting the perks they paid for.

Hi
Once again looking for help. We're flying Manchester to Male on 29 March TOM188 at 17.50 and I'm wondering what the plane will be doing earlier that day so I keep an eye out for any delays. :think
Many thanks

Hi Darren

We are flying LGW-HOG TOM094 on Monday 7 March. Please can you tell me where the aircraft is due to fly in from.

Thanks
Reply
BethR,

The aircraft operating TOM188 would normally be flying in on an ad-hoc cruise charter from Barbados (TOM112/3), but the last one is on 21st March until 4th April so there might not be anything before your flight on the 29th March.

Sunaddict,

The aircraft operating TOM094/5 comes in from La Romana (TOM060/1).
