CWL-SSH-CWL (TOM466/7) are operated by Boeing 737-800. There's no IFE onboard these aircraft. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our what Aircraft? guide (link below).


Darren, just realized I ommited to thank you for the info, so a belated thank you :tup

We got back yesterday and I have to say it was a pretty comfy flight on a clean, modern plane, with ample leg room.

No worries, glad you had a great time. The 738's aren't bad are they, pretty comfortable for the short - medium haul flights they do.

LU1,

As Wizard mentions, we have one linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below) that also have extensive aircraft information. It's the short haul 328 seat version you want, not one of the long haul. Bear in mind Thomson will also have a Jetairfly 767-300/ER in the fleet for the next couple of monts at least that's covering due to the 787-8 delays so there may be a slight variation. Other than a couple of rows, most seats have a clear view out ouf the window on the 763. I can't say X row has a full window as there is too much variation due to the nature of aircraft seating. If you avoid the rear of the front cabin and the first 6 rows in the 2nd cabin, you'll have a view out of the window in the other seats. Are you sure it's a 767-300/ER you're travelling on? If you let us have your flight details, especially flight number, I'll check the aircraft schedule for you.

Hi

What plane is due to service TOM 145 Cancun to Manchester on the 13th July 2013.
I've just been on to pick my seats and it's showing a 3-3-3 configuration?

Imbrugliasboy,

MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM144/5) are currently scheduled to be operated by the new Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). However, this all depends if the aircraft are delivered before the end of this month. At the moment, it's looking very unlikely so there's a reasonable chance the aircraft will be changed to a Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll be contacted by Thomson if/when the aircraft is changed to notify you. At the moment, by all means choose your seat with the current seat plan. But be aware, it's likely to change.

Hi,

I hope that someone can help me :)

I am flying out to Orlando, Sanford from Manchester with Thomson Airways on Thurs 25th April. The aircraft is scheduled to be a Boeing 767, however, does anyone know if it will be ex-FCA or a Thomson aircraft? I return a week later, Thurs 2nd May and this flight was scheduled to be operated by a Boeing 787 - no chance of that. Again does anyone know if it will be an ex-FCA or Thomson aircraft that will replace it?

Thanks in advance.

MRT320,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft aircraft information. There are several flights. This ensures we get the correct details for you. I assumer you're on the TOM104/186? These should be operated by former Thomsonfly Boeing 767-300/ER (long haul) due to the increased number of passengers expected on the 787-8.

TOM104 outbound and TOM187 inbound. We are flying Premium. What is Premium like on the Thomsonfly 767s?

Thanks :)

As far as I'm aware, the updated long haul service is being introduced as planned from 1st May. Whilst it won't be on the new aircraft, the service will still be rolled out as far as i'm aware. I'm told this includes free Tui snacks mid flight, all seats will have upgraded IFE, ie all passengers will have on-demand rather than looped, branded food and hot drinks as the second meal, branded coffee and hot chocolate (Starbucks) available for purchase on drinks rounds, premium club will get a revamped pamper pack. The amount spent per passenger on food will pretty much double hopefully resulting in better quality meals, although the main meal I find fine at the moment, it's just the second that's not always great but that should be addressed.

Since you'll be flying before me, maybe you can feed back on the new experience? The aircraft for your flight hasn't changed as far as i'm aware.

Hi

I'm traveling from East Midlands to Cancun on 8th May on flight TOM676 returning on TOM 677 in premium

From seat plan I'm guessing this is an ex FCA 767?

Somewhat unhappy as my group were split up when Thomson re allocated the seats, and completely different from what we had chosen on the 787, to sit together we have ended up in Row 9, which I believe has no window? Thomson have been useless in dealing with us.... but anyway...

As long as the sun is shining in cancun!

Thanks

Welcome onboard :tup
EMA-CUN-EMA (TOM676/7) are operated by ex-FCA Boeing 767-300/ER. Row 9 doesn't have a window in the premium cabin. You'll find extensive aircraft informationon our what Aircraft? guide (link below). The premium cabin is relatively compact so even though you are split from your group, it's no like you're at oposite ends of the aircraft. The nature of aircraft seating can make it difficult to seat everyone together, especially with a change of aircraft following the ongoing 787-8 problems.
