Hi BY-TOM
Ok thats great thanks for that tip
That is around about now then guess ill start ringing cheers
Hi guys
Am traveling on TOM4458/4459 (LGW/TFS) on the 29th August and back on 5th Sept, Looking back through the forum the flight seems to be operated by a 737-800, however when i rung Thomson Airways to book extra leg room seats they said it was a 757-200 with the extra leg room seats being in row 10/11??
Just would like to know if i actually do have extra leg room seats!!
Many Thanks
James

jaycool,
Welcome onboard
LGW-TFS-LGW (TOM4458/9) on your dates of travel are scheduled to be operated by Boeing 737-800. However, if you've phoned and been told it's a 757-200, it's obviously been changed since I was sent the schedule. Rows 12 and 32 are extra legroom on the 752, rows 10/11 are extra space. They haven't got quite as much room as extra legroom but are slightly cheaper and offer more room than standard seats. You'll find further details on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Regarding thomson pre book seating
So i gather you can book 90 days before your return flight we are flying premium on the dreamliner
and we are wishing to get the row of 2's
However i can't stop thinking that as we are are going for 14 nights that we will not have a great choice to pick from as those who are departing on the same date as us but staying for only 7/10 or 11 nights these passengers will all have the chance to book there seats before us...
is this how it works or am i missing the mark here
Thanks for any help
I had loads of trouble trying to book seats until I realised the 90 day book ahead related to your RETURN departure time durr!
Regarding the above and given my previous comment - If 7 day and14day bookings have the same flight departures then both can only book seats 90 days ahead. So all is equal.
That said I had a senior moment (actually late in from a night out) and checked availability the day before the 90 day window opened -online.
The slot was open and I have my preferred seats both out and inbound to Montego Bay 5th Sept.
Hope this helps.

Actually I think the issue is that 7 day hols can book the OUTBOUND seats a week before the 14 day folk who get less choice as a result.

Yes I have to agree: I was only looking outbound -not so concerned about the return!!!.
Good steer for next year - much appreciated.
Lesson learned though - Dont forget to check online early - I never did get an advisory email saying seat bookings had been released.
I will be selecting seats soon when flying on the Dreamliner in PC. Would welcome opinions on which seats to choose when travelling as a couple from those who have already flown in PC.
I know it's personal preference, but I would be greatful for any advice.
Thanks,

Gaz68,
The best seats for couples are obviously the window and isle seats.
I was seated in 3 A & C which I felt were perfect in all fairness.
I don't know my self if I would fancy row 1 due to the bulkhead in front of you which will restrict the leg stretching space!
The last row on the right hand side of the aircraft has a limited recline due to the toilet behind directly behind it and the last row on the left hand side has the crew seat directly behind it.
After that I would sit pretty much anywhere as there all the same!
They alternative where they start the service as well or they did on my flight.
Hope this helps and enjoy the Dreamliner it was a truly amazing experience!

But if you booked 3 A & C did you not run the risk that someone else would be allocated 3B and you would've been sat either side of them? Or is there no 3B for some reason?

Hello,
In the Premium Cabin there is no 3B it goes 3A and then 3C with A being window and C being aisle seat.
In economy there is A,B,C
It's just the nature of the cabin configuration

Thanks for the replies, maybe a few others will post shortly & I will wait to see what the seat plan availability is when it opens up.

Regarding legroom on Row 1 there was more than enough for my husband (who is 6ft) to put his legs out at 45 degrees and he still could not touch the bulkhead. I opted to put my carry-on bag in front of my legrest and laid down both ways watching films and sipping G and Ts. To be honest there were no bad seats in the Premium cabin (apart from 7A which had no window), and even then some people might not want a window anyway.
I might go for Row 1 if it is available when the seat plan opens up. Quite like the idea of nobody reclining in to me to be honest.

In the Premium cabin ,reclining isn't a big issue anyway as there is plenty of legroom between rows - not like 28"/29" cattle class rows on short/medium haul!!
I dont think you will be disappointed with any of the seats 
feeling very envious right now......enjoy

My preference so far would have to be row 1- right side for couples- as the toilet at the rear means very little foot fall during the flight apart from cabin crew. I would personally avoid 7AC for afore mentioned reasons and 7DEF as although they shouldn't and the crew "police" it the rear premium club toilets gets a lot of use from economy club passengers- so not as peaceful as it should be.
As promised I'm posting about seat availability and not paying to sit together.
We flew out of East Midlands on 28th July to Malaga. We ended up joining the queue a little later than we'd hoped....there were aprox 90 people in front of us. When we checked in I asked about seating and the agent said that seats were allocated the night before, I was perfectly happy with our allocation (a 3 and a 2 including 2 window seats, which is what we like). The family checking in at the next desk over heard the comment about pre allocation and wondered out loud what they'd actually payed for!
So, I still say don't pay and check in early.

PS just to add, I am 6'3" and pretty long in the leg and I find the 28" perfectly comfortable for a Mediterranean hop!

When you pay to select seats you get to pick the seats you sit in, that is what you pay for.
If you select 28A and B for example, you will get those seats. They are only pre-allocated the night before to passengers who haven't picked their seats.
So if Mr and Mrs Jones pay to select and select 30 E&F 3 months in advance, they will get 30 E&F on check in. If Mr and Mrs Smith don't pay to select seats and say there are 16 seats left that haven't been pre-selected by other passengers, they could be allocated any of those 16 seats the day before (the airlines try to still seat you together).

When you pay, you are paying to sit together. Seat number selection is a free service, and seat numbers are not guaranteed.
Unless your a single traveller and then you pay to select your seat
