Hi,

Has Anyone got new confimed updates of the new longhaul service thomson is offering from 1st May? I fly in 30days time & too excited to wait, I need to know. Also do you get the inflight packs outbound or inbound?

Darren I was wondering if my flight is still confirmed as a TOM767 aswell? Flight number: TOM 172/173

Thanks :-)

gav008,

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.

Darren

Yeah ill give feedback on the new service if nobody beats me to it! :-) do you get pamper packs on the outbound Darren?

Thanks

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

Dan

Welcome onboard
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.

Hi again, Dazbo,

we're booked on Tom 6382 from Cardiff to Rhodes on 7th August. What aircraft type will this be please?

Thanks for your time, yet again

Thanks in advance, Stephen

Bit of advice please, I'm bring offered premium economy on my flight in may for hardly anything. We already have extra space seats? Is it worth upgrading? Bearing in mind we have pre booked row 20 which is pretty roomy? To put it in perspective they are only asking for an extra 40 odd quid each to upgrade, shall I do it? Or keep extra space seats? Not sure

For £40 its worth it for drinks and luggage allowance alone

Very true, what is the leg room like compared to an exit row in economy? I've never been in premium

Noooobs,

What do you want on your flight? If seat pitch is important, row 20 is the roomiest on the aircraft. Do you need the extra luggage allowance? How many drinks do you normally have? Check on what seats are free, there may not be 2 together and you may need to be seated one behindthe other. If the extras or what you spend on drinks is more than the price of the upgrade, then its worth it. £40 is very cheap. If all you want is a roomy seat and you aren't bothered about the extras, I'd stay where you are as premium economy will only give you 3" extra.

Thanks Dazbo, same aircraft as we had going to Sharm- I'm happy with that

Hi there, like many others it seems, here's my annual query! Flying Gatwick to Punta Cana, departing 17th May returning 31st May, flight No. TOM050/051. Any idea which plane it's likely to be yet? Ex FCA hopefully.

Thanks in advance for any info.
