cpclarkes,

The inbound flight is TOM127 from Sanford (it's been asked on here several times previously). I won't know until Friday which aircraft is operating it. It makes no difference though really given all the aircraft are identical other than their name.

Margoose,

MAN-AYT-MAN (TOM512/3) is scheduled to be operated by Boeing 767-300/ER (short haul).

Hi.. flying to Hurghada on Monday 26th August (TOM770) Have noticed it will be a 737-800 but wandering which reg? Would be nice if it was new livery/ 2012/2013 model.
If not able to say then thanks anyway :)

Andrezr,

Welcome onboard :tup
Aircraft are swapped and changed all the time, a single aircraft isn't allocated to a particular flight so it's impossible to know this far out. As an example, the following aircraft have been used on TOM770/1 through July and the last flight;

G-FDZB
G-TAWN
G-TAWH
G-FDZY
G-TAWL
G-TAWO

It could be any of the 738 fleet for your flight.

edhall,

They are one in the same although some aircraft have some extra space seats that are none exit rows. More details on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

How can this be? I was checking flights from GLA to LPA for February next year. There are seats with extra space at £45 return pp & seats with extra legroom at £60 pp. Surely if they were the same there wouldn't be such a difference in price?

gaz68; you must be due to fly on one of the recently altered 757s - they have a number of rows ( 18 seats?) at the front of the aircraft which are "extra legroom" ie 34" seat pitch - they then have the "normal" exit row seats and bulkhead seats which are marketed as "extra space" -personally I always go for the extra space seats by exit rows,as these have mega legroom.

Darren you have obviously edited your post because that's why my reply queried what you had said. I was puzzled originally when you said there was no difference in the seats when there was an obvious difference in price.

I still think they need to do something about the 28 inch pitch at the rear of the aircraft, surely this is verging on unhealthy for the longer fights to Egypt and Cape Verde, especially for taller passengers.
Reply
But those taller people have the option of paying for the extra space seats near the front. Holidays are a luxury especially the further afield ones so its not like anyone is being forced to sit in 28" seat pitch.
Reply
I'm afraid you don't have to be very tall to find 28 inches very uncomfortable indeed. My wife and I are about 5ft 10 inch and won't even use BA because of its miserly leg room in economy. We are going to Cape Verde in Nov. and have very reluctantly paid an extra £125 each for extra legroom Thomsons have a captive market to Verde unfortunately or we wouldn't have used them. It's several years since I used Thomson but I seem to recall that until all the mergers, Egypt and Verde were classed as long haul until Thomson got greedy and changed the long haul distances to make some extra profit.
As for the last post once the limited leg room seats are sold the choice of sitting in cramped conditions is removed as its then like it or lump it or don't go.

Have to agree with gramps - I'm 6'4" and when I was (much) younger I could tolerate the limited legroom but now I have to travel in extra space or extra legroom seats -otherwise I think that my knees would lock and they would have to lever me out of my seat!!-don't even get me started on reclining seats!!!
