Thank you to 'gower' for your earlier reply about in flight food and entertainment .

Do you know how much they charge for their headphones?

Is there any listing for the IFE on mid haul flights to cyprus , can only find info on long haul flights ?

Many thanks , once again .

Last year headphones were £2.50, but they may have been increased for this season.

my flight is from ema to dalaman & the aircraft i'm flighing in will be a Boeing 757-200 so would of thought yours would be the same,
My flight is with thomson on the 26th may

If I have booked my holidays with Thomson as a package, including flight, won't I get headphones for free? (Gatwick - Cancun)

Looking at the Thomson website it does suggest that for long-haul you'll get standard headphones included.

Make sure you take them with you when you disembark outbound so you can use them on your return leg.

Last time we flew to Cuba, they gave us small pouch, and I think it has pair in it.

I'm not even after headphones, but adapter which was included with last headphones.

Hi

I'm flying to Dalaman from Birmingham on July 21st at 0700. The flight number is TOM 648. Does anyone know what plane is used?

Julie, i've also booked the select your seat service and i was told Thomson send you an e-mail 2 months before your flight with info on how to access the seat booking system.

I got the letter from Thomson exactly 70 days before the flight, were I could choose my seats, submit details about passengers (name, passport details etc.)

Hi David or anybody in the know,

Can you tell me if IFE is still available on flights from Gatwick to Sharm over the Summer 11 period. I beleive we are flying on a 757 aircraft.

Thanks,
Pat

I believe the in flight entertainment will be available until November 2011. We flew out on a 757 to Egypt last week and there were movies on the outbound and inbound flights (buy your own headphones, £2.50)

Thanks garyholc.

Reclining seats are very much a mixed blessing. With so little space to start with, losing another few inches when someone in front reclines can make a flight very uncomfortable. I've witnessed a few 'heated' exchanges over this. My worst personal experience was on an old 757 ?Astraus, a few years back - the guy in front reclined- his seat came so far back I could have performed dental surgery on him!!
I try not to recline in economy, but, if the person in front does, there's little option and I usually end up apologising to the person behind me before I attempt to reclaim my space. On occasion, I've just had to play 'sardine' as there's a child sitting on a parent's lap. Makes a lot more sense at the front in premier where the seat spacing is more forgiving.

For those querying, just rung Thomsons this morning and was able to confirm and reserve seating in Thomsonfly premium seats for flight to Cancun at end of may 2011.

Hi all,

Am flying from East Midlands to Gran Canaria on May 23rd, Just wondering what aircraft type it will be and possibly the registration?

Cheers

Hat's off to the pilot and crew that was onboard TOM6555 on March the 18th. We were due to fly home to Cardiff on the 18th from Tenerife at 18.40pm. We were in the airport for 11 hours due to the first plane having a fault on their doors. It ended up delaying them leaving. They couldn't fix the doors so had to organize another plane. The crew had also gone over their hours so they had to change pilot and crew. They called these in from their days off to "rescue" us.
During their flight they flew into a flock of birds, on doing the safety checks, they found no fault so continued on their journey to us. On arrival in Tenerife it was noted that there was a very large dent on the plane's nose. They took photos of it and sent it off to their engineers. We could see all this happening from the gate we were waiting on. After studying the photos they decided that the plane couldn't be flown. There was no part for there, so they had to get a part from the UK flown in the next day. None of this was the pilots/crews fault and to be honest if the plane was deemed unfit to fly then I wanted to stay on the ground. The pilot came off the plane and came to explain to the 200 of us waiting what was happening (fair play to him). What I couldn't believe was the abuse that people were hurling at this poor man, they too were now stuck in Tenerife. Not one person thanked them for coming to try and rescue us. The flock of birds and the plane's damage was unavoidable.
I made hubby put his hand up to thank the pilot and crew for trying to help us (I was too shy and would have gotten flustered). Hubby just said that many of us there appreciated their efforts to try and help us on their days off. You could see on their faces that they were happy about this, considering most of the others were just abusing them.
After a delay of 30 hours and 19 minutes we eventually made it home.
What was absolutely dreadful was that we'd been there for 10 hours straight, and on the 11the hour when the pilot came to speak to us, was the first information we were given. All that time in the airport there was nobody there to give us information, and not one announcement was made. The pilot himself was also cross about this. Had more information been given throughout the delay then more people would have been calmed down.
So thank you to the pilot and crew on that particular Thomson airways flight. I give no thanks to the airport staff as they were nowhere to be seen or heard.

I am flying on TOM104 MAN-CUN on 12th May 2011 and have booked extra leg room seats.
We have booked seats 20 E, F, G im wanting to know if these are full exit seats with no obstructions?

The seating plan on the flightextras part of Thomson is not very clear as it does not show bulkheads, toilets etc etc

can anyone help??
(or advise me where I can get a decent seating plan for that aircraft)

Thanks
