Yes, that's when the seat plan will be uploaded to allow seats to be selected. It's worth checking a day or two before though as they're sometimes uploaded early. Given they've booked extra legroom seating, there's only 2 rows for them to choose anyway; the door 2 area and overwing exit row. Personally, I prefer the overwing exit row.

Something rather strange Thomson have said on there webpage is passengers passengers travelling out late June and returning early July will still have both sectors of their flights operated on a 767 regardless of if the 787 if flying or not
They also state the 787 will be used for outbound flights in July if its flying again but passengers will still return on 767s if they flew out in June.
All seems rather confusing to me why would they send un-nessecarry planes out should 787s be flying

Grahamy,
The 767's can be configured to accommodate 328 passengers if so desired, the size of the aircraft isn't an issue, it's just the number of seats installed. The 787 has 244 economy club and 47 premium club, the ex-FCA 763's have 63 premium economy and 195 economy, so something has to give. Either they're reconfigured to 2-4-2 in economy or they're banking on enough people swapping or cancelling. I can't see them holding off on sales in the current economic climate.

Thank you so much.
Is that 'overwing exit' row you mention row 20 by any chance ?
Im still a bit confused ?
There is row 11, row 14 (outer) and 20 although 14 doesn't have any windows

Really ?
I will mention row 14 to my son,although knowing him its the legroom he really wants
Because he is 6'-3 !
So grateful btw x
Looks like Dazbo was right afterall.
Thompson emailed my son today apparently and indicated that his flight to Cancun will now be operated by a Boeings 767 with a 2-4-2 seats across.

The it's row 6a-h 15 cde 17ab/gh I wouldn't bother with any further back. Personally I'd go for row 6, 40" of leg room and same bigger monitors as premium club.

Are these the best 'extra space seats'? I book mine soon, just wondered which ones people prefer.

noooooobs,
Seating is personal preference. There are no 'best' seats as it's whatever you prefer. If you're on an ex-TOM 763, row 6 is the roomiest, row 20 on the ex-FCA. If its legroom you want, they are the rows with the most. Bear in mind these seats are marginally narrower as the tray table and IFE screen fold out from the arm rest and the arm rests are fixed.

Thanks darren
Heads up for people travelling on the ex TOM 767 - if you decide to book row 6 yes you get more legroom, but still thr standard economy seats however seats 6: CDEF are 4 seats but have to share 3 personal seat back tvs. You can pics of the ex TOM long haul 767 at

But remember, there really are some "WORST" seats on the FCA 767 planes.
Row 19 does NOT recline but row 18 does.
So if you are stuck in 19 with an inconsiderate“slam it back at takeoff†person in row 18,
then you are going to have a very unpleasant journey with their headrest virtually stuck up your nose and much, much less than 33 inches of space.
You will be very lucky indeed if you manage to eat your meal or see your TV.
Row 19 on FCA767 planes should be avoided at all costs.
Darren - any info on what config planes they are planning to use on the LGW-SFB route in June pls?
Thanks in advance. I've booked premium and am wondering how many seats there will be.

Not able to book seats yet as they still have the 787 seat plan uploaded. Would of thought they would of changed that by now.

Row 19 does recline (unless they've changed it).

It did NOT recline in January 2013 on the journey to Cancun on a FCA767, and the flight crew were apologetic but could do nothing. It's been reported previouosly by other HT members.
Row 19 on exFCA767s is the row from hell - if, as we had, you get the inconsiderate recliner in front of you.
Apparently because 19 is in front of the emergency exit, the air safety rules mean that it MUST NOT recline.
Maybe BY-TOM-AMM-FCA or Darren could confirm this?
