Can somebody tell me if I have been told correctly about row 19 seats I have booked these for our flight to florida from east midlands TOM 586. I have been assured that they do recline and that he said it was rows 26 that do not I would be really grateful if somebody could confirm if this is the case.
We are another family expecting the dreamliner and now going on a 767 which I really don't mind but non reclining seats with 4 young kids would be a nightmare!!!
Thanks

It depends on which aircraft ex FCA or ex Thomsonfly operates your flight. Ex FCA seats 19 a/b/f/g don't recline c/d/e do.
Ex Thomsonfly do recline as far as I know. You can see the seat plans in Darren's Which Aircraft thread, which is linked below his posts.
Gulp, with one thing and another there have been so many niggles that I am getting towards my wits end. In my post I put we have 4 kids sorry a mistake we have 3 so actually it only involves the two seats by the window which makes it better, believe me if we have people pushing the recline button with little regard we have three excitable children who love kicking the seat in front..... payback indeed LOL!!!!
Oh and I rang up to ask about the recline and the guy I spoke to said yes without a doubt the seats would recline I asked how he could be so sure and he said because I have that information here and so I asked could you tell me then which seats do not recline and he said something like row 11 and 26 not sure if that is true?
Does that ring true? I am not impressed really if I am honest about Thomson one little bit and hope that the terrible glitches are not going to be a sign of our holiday, we love our holidays and have never complained before but we are worried about this. I'm not sure I will book with Thomson ever again but with all of the travel companies going bust you do seem to have less and less option.

Have you checked the aircraft details on Seat Guru as it normally tells you on there if there are any seats to avoid?

Thomsons aren't on seatguru.
All seats have recline

You can't expect people on a 10hr flight not to recline their seats can you?
Hope youre not ever sat behind me allowing your kids to kick the seat in front!

Oops. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to which topic I was in.

Darren seems to say otherwise
Dazbo HT Mod wrote:ukbill wrote: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?
That's correct to avoid the seat backs blocking the emergency exit door when reclined. Row 19 C/D/E have full recline, I've sat in them many times.

In your opinion. I still maintain seating is personal preference.

The people in front are entitled to recline, and it's not their fault if the seats behind them don't, although they should be considerate and not recline during meals etc. Any children that keep kicking the back of my seat have something said to them. So do their parents!
Oh for goodness sake it was said tongue in cheek scroll up the last page a bit. When airlines configure planes in this manner where people are inevitably going to be disgruntled and like you pointed out it isn't the person in fronts fault. It's always better to stand together looking for change and from all angles.

Really that's fantastic if they do but that will tell me that seat allocations in India really do tell blatant lies when asked he said for definite and I asked him to repeat that twice and I then asked how he could be so sure and he said because I have that information here and I asked, so give me an example of a seat that doesn't and said two rows.

I think it's ok to recline when on a long haul aircraft but find it pathetic when people do so on the 28" seat pitch short haul planes.
When we fly to Turkey i always seem to get the muppet who reclines as soon as possible and then gives me dirty looks because my knees keep hitting the back of his/her chair, and sometimes i don't even mean them to!
The seats should not recline on short haul 28" seats. Nothing makes me crosser than when people do recline, I was once on a plane where my row of seats didn't recline and of course the woman in front reclines hers. It was pure hell, I'm not a small person!
Ryanair's seats do not recline, well done.

Hi Darren or the other experts,
just booked seats on my holiday to Marsa Alam. The seating plan I booked from showed a layout of 3x3 and there were 32 rows, am I correct in saying this is a Boing 737-800?
Also, we booked row 5a and 5b, does this row definitely have a window?
Flight numbers are TOM376/7 departing 5.6.13.
Regards,
Jason

Yes, it's row 11/12 ABc and 12/13 def (roughly) that don't have windows on the 737-800
Thank you BY-TOM-AMM-FCA.
When are you flying Z.J.C ?? I am flying at the end of July and sat patiently waiting to see wether we get a 767 or 787 ..... only 5 weeks until I book our seats 
Noticed that G-OBYG (ex Thomsonfly)has been used a few times lately from Manchester for long haul - has it been converted to long haul configuration or are they being crammed into short haul seats?
