MAN-ACE-MAN (TOM2468/9) are operated by Boeing 767-300/ER (328Y / short haul). You'll find extensive aircraft information including seat plans on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Row 9 has a window.

Does anyone know if Premium Club on the 787 will be used on the short-haul routes prior to the start of long-haul?

Just wondered as I don't think PC is an option on flights under 5 hours.

Thanks,

I would imagine they'll be sold as extra legoom (only) seats and be available at check-in on the selected flights operated by the 787-8. They won't be sold as premium upgrades due to air passenger duty implications.

dinner-lady,

I was told originally the first aircraft on Friday was due to arrive at 0535, like most of their new deliveries. This is now 1100. I would assume it's been put back for press coverage of the landing. A few hours later won't make much difference when they're 5 years late!

:cheers Cheers Darren. I know what you mean. Five years later what difference will another 5 hours make...... I was thinking of going up to the pub at the end of the runway to watch it come in, but I suppose it will be packed out so I might as well watch it from home :D

Hi Darren,
We've booked a holiday to Paphos on flights TOM2650/1, departing 14.9.13.

dinner-lady,

With it being a Friday, it might not be as busy as it would have been normally, but I would expect it to be busy like it was last week when Qater Airways brought there 787-8 in for the first time. Any other day, I'd have been there but I'm off to a wedding that weekend on the south coast so won't be around.
