Welcome onboard :tup
MAN-ENF-MAN (TOM302/3) are operated by Boeing 767-300/ER (short haul). If you're looking to select seats, I'm assuming your return date is within 90 days? You can't use the online seat selection as you're limited to certain seats with travelling with an infant if they are on your knee as an extra oxygen mask is required on that row. You'll need to phone to select seats. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft photos and seat plans.

Thank you for your reply. I called them today and selected window seats they gave me 14 A & B. They said on the phone it's was a 3-3-3 seating aircraft an the one you mentioned is 2-3-2. Maybe they made a mistake or I misheard.

Thanks again!! :)

Sianjones44,

It sounds like you may have been lucky. Some 767 flights are being covered by the new Boeing 787-8. It looks like yours is one of them.

Actually the one Darren mentioned is 2-4-2,

An infant can sit at any row on the 767(short haul and 283) and the 787 apart from emergency exit rows.

Row 14AB also has 36" legroom, the same as some of Thomson's premium cabin on their 767's

Hi Darren,

Do you know which 787 will be flying to Cancun from Manchester tomorrow TOM144.

Thanks,

Chris.

Chriskim,

I'm at the airport at the moment so will double check later, but I think its G-TUIB (Alfie) that's at MAN at the moment. It makes little difference though as they are all identical other than their names.

Have a great holiday,

Edit: confirmed, I'm just watching her line up on runway 05L for take off as Thomson-126 to Sanford, right on schedule you'll be pleased to know.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for your help, as always. I know they are all the same, but it's nice to know which one we will be on and i's also good to know that it is on time.

Thanks again

Hi,

We prebooked our seats for our holiday next month to turkey about a month ago and have just had the confirmation email through (I know, it took forever!) and outbound we have 2A, 2B and 2H which we are fine with but the way back, have been given 22H, 22J and 22L (extra space). i didn't think there was a seat L or J for that matter on the 767's?? Are these wrong, should we contact them again!? :think

Thanks

There is a dreamliner thread Qman perhaps you could do a review on there, I would be very interested, I was due to fly on it this year, but ill-health has prevented me from travelling for a while, hoping to next year.

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. There are often several flights. This ensures we get the correct information for you. LFW-TFS-LGW (TOM4744/5?) are operated by Boeing 757-200.

Oops sorry! Yes, it's TOM 4744.

No chance of dreamliner then? :(

Hi Shilo,

Travelled in Premium myself and it was very good!

The seats are nicely sized leather seats 2-3-2 arrangement with a tv in one arm rest and the tray table in the other.

TV folds out into a comfortable viewing position in front and tray table then folds under it.

You have a USB socket and a UK Plug Socket in seat for use during the flight.

Cabin crew were excellent throughout the flight just buzz and there more than happy to bring a drink out.

Came through the flight with snacks and chocolate regularry

Food was the best meal I've had on a plane in a long time, they come around with a menu with three main choices. The starter was a cold pasta, the means if I can remeber were a chicken dinner type meal with mash and vegetables in a lovely sauce, a salmon dish and a wild mushroom resortto.

All services with metal cuttterly and in China with glass for your water and even little salt and pepper pots!

I have a number of photos so if you would like them sending let me know,
