Hi Dareen

Just a query about our flight Man to Paphos. TOM2336 and TOM2337.

Just booked seats and they said it was a 757.Does tnis mean it has or doesn't have seat back entertainment?

last year we flew on 767 on same flights and it did have but this seems to be a smaller aircraft

Thanks in anticipation

I have just book the business lounge for my return Thomson flight from Cancun to Manchester in September, the airport website says Thomson use Terminal 3 but my confirmation has come back with Terminal 2.

I can't remember which terminal I used last time, can anyone confirm which terminal the Thomson flights depart from.

Hello
not sure if i'm doing this correctly so apologies if i'm in the wrong place!
I am flying BHX-CAN 12thApr/19th Apr respectively on TOM 568/569 and wondered if you could give me some info on which plane i am on as I can't make sense of the seat plan.Could you tell me the seating config for these flights,are they 328 seats or 293? I have allocated 22G/H out and 28G/H return,are they ok?
Also I'd like to know if these flights make a refuelling stop in Manchester.

Thankyou

We travelled with first choice, to Aruba last July, and paid £170 each to upgrade our flight to the premium cabin. We're heading back this September, and were hoping to do the same. I have just enquired about upgrading, and been told that it's going to cost £270 each!! This seems a massive jump from last year. Has anyone upgraded on this flight for less? Anyone got any idea how much I can expect to knock them down to? I think £540 for the 2 of us is far too much for a slightly bigger seat and free drinks. Especially as coming home last time, we were taken to one side at Aruba airport and told that the plane we were going to be on didn't have a premium cabin. We got a partial refund, but I'd hate to fork out that much and have the same thing happen again.

Part of the reason for the jump is due to the tax increase since last year, The government have added £80 since you last travelled with Thomson Airways therefore if they kept the price the same Thomson would receive only £90 for the product/service. I don't think you'll be able to barter the people you'll be negotiating with don't have the authority to alter the prices.
They can price match against a competitor, however there are no comparable flights to do this. They may be able to "throw something in" like airport parking/discount on car hire/insurance... but it wont be any where near £200 discount.

They may come down nearer the time, if you ring the call centre, try two weeks before, but i've never known Aruba to be less than jam packed up front.

Re premium upgrades - I booked Newcastle to Cancun on ThomsonFly last june to go this May and paid £280 for premiums. They have now gone down to £200 !! I have tried to get the amount adjusted by them when I paid the balance but they werent having it ! So I think its 'swings and roundabouts', you take the price you pay ! :(

wally07,

I Booked our flight to Cancun in September 2010 to travel in June2011, the cost of the Premium Seats were £280.00 then, I choose not to book them as it was a lot of money for two adults and two kids. However I upgraged last week and paid £180.00 extra per seat, therfore a a saving of £400.00. I would wait until closer the flight and try again. It is easy to keep and eye out with the internet.

I understand this cost increase is due to air passenger duty being levied for premium travel at a higher rate than economy, being taxed as business class tax rates, which the airlines are contesting.

We paid £1080 for 4 people upgrading to Premium flying to Aruba this May. This was booked back in December.

I just checked today, and the upgrade cost for the same flight has gone up to £1196, an increase from £270 to £299 per person.

Hi,
i am flying on june 21st NCL-AYT-NCL flight TOM850/851.
Would anyone know the aircraft registration, i have been told its a 757-200
Reply
Grahamy,

It's far too soon to know the assigned registration, TOM won't know yet! Aircraft are rotated regular for maintenance and operational reasons. If you ask closer to the time, we can give you an idea of what to expect. It makes little difference in any case, they're pretty much all the same other than the seat design.

Hello,
Sorry if I am looking in the wrong place it's been about a year since I've last been on the site. I am looking to prebook my seats for my flight from Newcastle to Punta Cana, 11th June. I am wondering what the plane layout will be. I should be able to book these from tomorrow so would like to plane which seats are best for us.
Thanks in advance
Emily

Have a look at the What Aircraft thread. It is linked in Darren's post, 3 above yours.
You will be on a Boeing 767-300. The layouts are there but they differ slightly between ex FCA and ex Thomsonfly. I don't know which one is scheduled to do your flight though.

I am going to Punta Cana on the 11th June, was hoping for a an ex First Choice, with the seats being a bit wider. Looks like we are out of luck.
