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.

Darren

What a shame I wa looking forward to seeing your pictures.....Hopefully you will capture some at another point. Enjoy your wedding

Hi Darren. Any chance the 737 will be one of those with the new sky light interior?

strid,

Aircraft are rotated all the time so it's impossible to say. You'll find out on the day.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

strid,

Most of the 73H's current operating out of MAN are the newer ones with sky interiors, but this could change before your flight due to fleet rotation so I wouldn't like to say either way at the moment. As things stand, there's a good chance it will be but don't be dissapointed if it isn't. It doesn't make much difference to be honest.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

I have read that Boeing are having some problems with TUIA and TUIB could be delivered first.
I just cannot believe that Darren will not be at MAN to welcome the new plane!

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

TUIA seems to be the resident 787 at KPAE at the moment having undertaken 8 test flights compared to the 2 by its sister TUIB.

I do hope they manage to sort out any issues with TUIA before delivery.

G-TUIC just departed from KPAE on her first flight, finally the Thomson 787s are starting to come together cannot wait to see them at Manchester this coming weekend.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi Darren,
We are off to Cuba 6th August on TOM122/123.
When I went to book our seats it was showing an ex Thomson flight with (2-4-2) configuration. Is this right or will it change to a first choice aircraft (2-3-2)?
Thanks Tracy

Tracy1971,

Whatever seat plan is open for your flight will be the one used on the day, subject to any last minute aircraft changes.

I am flying on 21 August from Bristol to Orlando. Can you tell me what plane it will be and when I should book my seats

The_minxy,

Welcome onboard :tup

BRS-SFB-BRS (TOM644/5) are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Whether to select your seats is personal preference. If you want to sit in a particular part of the aircraft or want a window seats or guarantee your party is sat together, you may think its worth it. If you aren't fussed where you sit, then you may not think it is.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi

Just found the website and registered. Lots of info here, looks great.

We have just booked on the Edi-Sanford in July. We are also in premium seating and about to allocate our seats but not many left! . Do you know is it an ex Thomsonfly flight with all windows in premium?

Thanks

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Balnain,

Welcome onboard :tup

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. This ensure we get the correct information for you as there are sometimes several flights. EDI-SFB-EDI (TOM642/3) are operated by Boeing 767-300/ER (most likely ex-FCA). The flights don't commence until 3rd July so I won't know the specific aircraft until then. When you log-in to the seating plan, if there are 5 rows of premium seats, it's an ex-Thomsonfly aircraft. All rows in premium on the ex-TOM have a window. If there are 9 rows of premium seats (the whole of the forward cabin), it's a former First Choice. Only row 9 on the ex-FCA has no window. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks Darren

There are 9 rows so must be ex-FCA. That helps as only rows 8 and 9 free to book!

Thanks

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Balnain,

In that case, grab row 8 while you can so you have a window. There's not a lot to see for the most part on the flight as most is over water, but it's an interesting approach in to SFB.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

I've tried in vain to book my outbound seats today as it's now 90 days before my outbound flight, as I've read many times that if you ring you can book your outbound seats 90 days before that flight, rather than waiting for 90 days before your return flight, although it may be the luck of the draw as to whether you get someone at the other end who allows it, but I've had no luck at all and on my final call I mentioned what I've just said and they said that they no longer allow that as it causes problems - can anyone confirm that this is the case that it is no longer possible to book your outbound flights separately on the 90 day mark rather than waiting for the 90 days before the return flight? Or should I persevere?! Thanks.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

cagzy,

You sometimes have to wait a day or two until the flight is uploaded. Although 90 days is the normaly time the flight opens, it can be a couple of days either side. Just keep trying.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

I've had the same problem! Took the general advice - ie keep calling until you get someone who'll oblige but with no luck. I was told they've changed the policy and no longer allow people to book outbound and inbound seats separately ! I have heard of some people still managing it but I had no luck!! Never mind - waited till today which was my official booking day and got exactly the seats I wanted - 2 window pairs in the premium cabin of the Dreamliner - Mexico here we come!!!! :cheers

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Glad I'm not the only one marshwiggle!

I'm hoping they don't have a record or log under my booking of calls I've made and what for because they're either going to feel sorry for me and let me book, or they're going to think I'm an annoying crank and just keep telling me no!!

Glad you got the seats you wanted, hope I do too! Lucky you - Premium on the Dreamliner!
