wtg darren you deserve a break after all the help you give us all..
have a beer on me
Hi. Flying on TOM2608 from Manchester on 13/7. Does anybody know which plane this will be and where I can get seat plan from? Would like to be able to select my seats as soon as they can be booked. Traveling with my wife and 4 year old child for the first time.
Darren is on holiday at the moment, but he'll be back in plenty of time to tell you, as you won't be able to book seats until end of April.
Whats all this about 'cramming people into flights' to places like Mexico ? When we booked our flight to Cancun on Tom 194 we got told the legroom was guaranteed 33" and even more in legroom seats ? Has something change that passengers don't know about then ?.
No nothing had changed, its still 33 inches but if they sub a short haul plane due to mechanical reasons then you would be very unlucky

Hello,
I do believe this has been re-configured a family friend flew out to Barbados the other day in Premium and when I tracked it back it was G-OBYG its also out again today to Barbados, would imagine they have refitted it but I cannot be 100% sure if this is correct.

I'm on TOM182/3 flying out on Sunday. I have to admit I'm not holding y, breath for the Dreamliner either way its the holiday that counts.
I'm rather nervous however this will be the third long haul flight I've taken with Thomson where there has been an aircraft change!
I was thinking we may not get an exFCA one in July with them holding significantly less passengers than the 787 and with July being busy I'm thinking it will more than likely be one of the exTOM.
Either way the LOT Polish Airlines 787 with the modified battery fix is due to flight test tomorrow I believe so we will have to see how things develop.
Speaking with people I do believe Thomson will need at minimum two months for test flights before long haul operations can begin.

Hi there
Im booked to fly with my two teenage children to sanford from birmingham on 23/6/13 tom630
One of my children has a medical condition which means i may have to assist her urgently at times. The airline are happy to carry her and she will have a fit to fly letter from her paediatrician.
Welfare have suggested seats 11cde fior us. Anyone tell me much about these. Mainly i need enough room to be able to grab stuff out of her emergency bag and give her drugs if necessary.
I know these are close to toilets which is handy in some respects as i will always be nearby then but bit worried about people cutting through the bulkhead space/standing there.
Thanks for any help you can be

Am I right in thinking the following?…
Thomson state all longhaul flights are operated by either a 767 or 787. Due to the current situation the 767 will be more in use. It states a minimum of 33" in economy - they have to provide that legally, or it's false advertising.
However I understand that in the T&C they can change the aircraft for operational reasons etc at short notice…
But with this situation being over 1 month surely they HAVE to re config some of there 767 SH to longhaul for 33"??
Do we have a new update on the new longhaul inflight service offered from may?

Gav,
There was talk of Thomson leasing a 767 from Jetairfly which would be used to operate some of the Long Haul routes until the Dreamliner finally shows up. I'm sure they wouldn't use a short haul layout aircraft as a replacement as they would have an awful lot of angry squashed customers!

Talking of the Dreamliner, first test flight went to plan

Hi Dazbo.
We are on the 1555 out of Manchester on Sat 21st Sept to Gran Canaria.
Apologies for not having the flight number, but what is the likely aircraft for this flight?
Cheers, IainB

Hey
The problem with the Jetairfly 767 is that it is not long haul configured. It doesn't have seat back IFE nor does it have the 33" leg room its configured very differently to the other 767's.
It could be the case that they use this Jetair aircraft to operate the short haul 767's flights such as Egypt and use the exTOM 767 for Long haul.

If one of your children has a medical condition then they won't be permitted to sit in row 11(assuming an ex-FCA 767) this is a stipulation by the CAA. I recommend row 14 AB or FG. Unfortunately the configuration of these aircraft means they don't have many seats that can be used as welfare seats. Standards seats are quite roomy on Thomsons long haul aircraft, certainly enough to administer intravenous drugs, oxygen etc..
The fitness to fly certificate will not bypass emergency exit regulations. I am quite shocked that the welfare team are suggesting these seats. Who ever occupies these seats needs to be able to operate an exit door at any time, which if your daughter is in a situation (hopefully not) requiring her treatment she wouldn't be able to.
Surely 11CDE are in the centre? so the emergency exit regs dont apply?
