Flight Only / Airline and Airports

Discussions relating to flight only, airlines and airports.

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

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.

cheers Darren,
I thought it was a long shot. Do you know how many Thomson aircraft are based at NCL these days

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.

Hi there

Can anyone tell me what aircraft we will be flying on please? I had booked Premium seats but then removed them as the price had dropped dramatically since booking in September 10....typical

currently sat in seats: 30A & 30B on both flights. Cant find any seat reviews about these seats. Can anyone help?

Hope the flight is good as i originally wanted to fly British Airways or Virgin but the tour operator recommended Thomson, they were only £20 per person cheaper than Virgin !!!

Do you have to purchase headphones to watch IFE or can you use your own IPOD headphones.

Maybe hopefully we can try and get premium seats at Gatwick if they are not sold out lol.

Thanks for any help

alexrennie1,

Your flights are operated by a Boeing 767-300/ER, normally a former First Choice aircraft. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Head phones are complimentory with a set supplied on your outbound flight so keep them for your return. I don't particularly like the supplied in ear ones so take my own. You can use use any head phones (other than wireless) as long as you have a 2 pin adapter. Thomson Airways offer greater seat pitch than BA or Virgin in economy so in terms of room, they're better than the others. I wouldn't worry too much about premium seating. Yes, it's nice but I don't bother with premium seating as the economy seats are just fine.

ekingy,

You will get the correct seat map displayed on the screen when you log in to the system. As BEfreeTODAY mentions, NCL are ex-FCA so you can view other seat maps linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below) along with lots of other aircraft information.

Thank you for the reply
sorry to ask but do you have any idea where i can find out what IFE will be available

alexrennie1,

Everything is on on What aircraft? guide including a link to the current IFE (March / April) at the moment. This is updated every 2 months so you'll have to wait until May for the listing for your flight. As soon as it's known, I update the link on the guide so keep checking. I got back from PUJ yesterday, have a great time when you go :sun2

Barkes,
BHX-MBJ-BHX (TOM374/5) are operated by a Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).


Thanks, is TOM374/375 an ex First Choice or longhaul Thomson?

I knew you were going to ask that! As your flight doesn't commence until April, I don't know for sure at the moment. It's normally an ex-FCA though.

Thanks, I'll ask again nearer to the departure date.


Darren

Any idea whether BHX-MBJ-BHX (TOM374/5) is ex FCA or Thomson yet
