Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi,

Can you please tell me the rows (premium and economy) which have NO windows and other detrimental things like NO recline, etc, on the flights for MAN-CUN-MAN, which I believe are the ex-FCA B767-300ER v2 (258 seats), the ex-TOM B767-300ER v3 (283 seats) and the Dreamliner.

I've been told previously that I'm on the ex-TOM B767-300ER v3 (283 seats) (and if that's changed can someone confirm this please) - flying out 26/8 TOM174 and returning 6/9 TOM195, but I'm interested to know this for all 3 planes on that Manchester/Cancun route for future reference.

Apologies if I've asked this before, but I don't know how to find a summary of all my old posts - does anyone know how to do this please?? I've tried clicking on "View your posts" at the top but it doesn't take me to my individual posts.

Thanks,

Caroline.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

cagzy,

Boeing 767-300/ER: All seats in premium on the ex-TOM have a window, only row 9 on the ex-FCA doesn't. Rows 14 (partial view), 15, 17 and 40 on the ex-FCA in economy don't have a window. Approximaely rows 10, 17 (partial view), 18, 20 and 46 on the ex-TOM don't have a window in economy.

MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM174/195) are operated by ex-TOM Boeing 767-300/ER.

Wow! That was some detailed reply to cagzy. More simply, is the Tom078/079 LGW/AUA 31 May and 14 Jun ex TOM or ex FCA please?

Flying to Corfu from Birmingham TOM7568 on 28 June. What type of plane will this be and does it have the extra legroom seats or just exit seats? . If extra legroom does anyone know how many rows? Thanks. Caroline.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

caroline davis,

BHX-CFU-BHX (TOM7568/9) are operated by Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including a seat plan with extra legroom seats indicated (located on exit rows). You'll have to enquire with the airline with regards to availability.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

twinboysmum,

EDI-SFB-EDI (TOM642/3) are operated by ex-FCA 763's as far as I'm aware. I'll be able to confirm it closer to the time as the flights don't commence until 3rd July. We can't comment on seat availability, reasons here. It's fair to say the flight will be pretty much full though given the time of year and destination.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

We are possibly flying to Barbados from Manchester in December 2013 on a P&O Charter.

Does anyone know if this is likely to be on the new dreamliner or 767 as I understand P&O Charter full aircraft for passengers joining a cruise?

Will all of the long haul 767 be replaced with dream liners by then?

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

kk70,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. There are often several flights. This ensures we get the correct information for you. The Friday MAN-BGI-MAN (TOM116/7) should be a Boeing 787-8. Is this the flight you're looking at or the sunday charter? That's possibly a 787-8 too. There should be 3 787-8's in service by December 2013, the others delivered through 2014.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Tracy1971,

90 days before your departure date but it's worth checking a day or two before as seat plans are sometimes released before the 90 days, sometimes after.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Tracy1971,

Enter your booking reference etc here. It shouldn't be long before it'll be open for your flight, it might already be depending on when in August you fly. I'll be able to do mine around 23rd June, can't wait!!
