True, but the seat number isn't guaranteed.

If you do a dummy booking on the Thomson Airways website it will tell you which flight is the Dreamliner service. Under the prices.

The search shows it is TOM108/9

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.
It's never guaranteed but 9 times out of 10, you will get the seat number you selected.

tracytreacle1,
Seating is personal preference, it's whatever you prefer. All seats are much of a muchness on the 737-800 apart from extra legroom seating (that are located over the wing, rows 15/16 and at the front). There are no best or worst seats as such, it's subjective. If you don't want the wing in the way, head towards the front or rear, eg front 8 rows or rear 7 or 8 rows.

Checkin this morning for tom2538 to Ibiza and find plane changed with no notice from 737 to 787 Dreamliner... So no complaints!!!
Hi,
Just a question about hand luggage please.
Do Thomson weigh your hand luggage at check in only, and not airside before boarding?
I'm asking just in case I buy toiletries and magazines once through security and my bag gets a bit heavier.
Thanks.

cagzy,
It's 50:50 in my experience. Sometimes it's weighted at check-in, sometimes it isn't. If you were thinking of taking the risk and exceeding you limit, I would be very careful. I've never had it weighed at the boarding gate though.

Thanks Darren, unsure what to do! Have you ever seen any getting weighed at the boarding gate?
It's currently within the weight (and size) limits, in fact it's exactly on the dot!, but I'm wondering if I could buy heavy-ish toiletries and put them in it once I'm through security.

Hi
We have never had a weight check airside and only on the odd occasion have they checked the hand luggage at check-in they just ask to 'view' it but it could still be a risk

Yeah, might be risking it because our check in bags are backpacks and are the exact size requirement so they may be checked, but at least if they only check at check-in they will not be over the weight limit then.
Thanks for replying!
Thanks for replying!
They sometimes weigh the hand luggage at check in if you are on or slightly over the hold luggage allowance.Helped us as the hand luggage was over but the hold luggage was under,so we were let off!.Haven't personally seen any weight checks at boarding gate but have seen bags being taken off passengers at this point and put in the hold.
On our last holiday,a group of people were arguing with check in staff ,who had said that they were going to have to check a couple of big holdalls in.About time that they did stop these grossly oversize bags being allowed as cabin baggage,in my view!!

Yeah, our bags don't exceed the size requirement, they are just the exact allowable size so I'm assuming they will be allowed in the cabin, they are definitely not oversized.
cagsy - I was always lead to believe that anything you buy airside can be taken on the plane in addition to your hand luggage. I know I have bought loads from Boots (suncreams etc) and taken them on the plane, no questions asked!
thanks for that denny, that's really helpful it's amazing how much your stuff weighs in the end!

I've always taken a bag of goods bought airside, but their website is now saying things like laptops, handbags and items bought at the airport must fit within your 1 piece of hand baggage.

Hi Darren,
we've recently holidayed in Rhodes (7th Aug departure) had the 737-800 on our outbound journey from Cardiff TOM 6832 ( I think) but I'm wondering whether there was a change of aircraft for the return journey (21st Aug) as we were allocated row 10 which had a lot more leg room than row 32 which we were allocated on the way out?
It was a lovely area of the plane to be seated in. Was it the same aircraft type? i didn't realize that row 10 would have extra legroom. I noticed from your 'what aircraft am I flying on?' page that the 737s aren't listed as having extra leg room in row 10.
Thanks

Hi Shirly,
I'll check when I get home later, but it sounds like you had a Boeing 757-200 rather than the scheduled 737-800.
EDIT: As above, it was an aircraft change from the original schedule.
