Thanks all, as usual everyone has been really helpful. I meant to ask what BY-TOM meant by the first 5 rows outer seats, told you I was dim.

Not a question, more of a "heads up"...

90 days from our inbound flight from Punta Cana, went on the Thomson Airways site to book our seats.. It's a dreamliner flight, so the config in Premium is 2-3-2...

we'd been allocated seats in the "3" section so I wanted to change to window seats.. the site wouldn't let me do that , giving me a message that "all members of the party must occupy the same grade of seat" - got onto our local shop and they phoned Thomson Airways... apparently there is a "glitch" in the system and it isn't recognising the window seats in premium as such...

You'll have to deal with the airline direct...

I've got window seats now and a confirmation on the way...

Then tried to book some champers for both ways.. got to payment and the process stalled... what a rubbish website!!!

Hi Darren,

We are flying BHX-LPA-BHX on 25/Nov/13 and 9/Dec/13 (TOM 7120/7121), could you please let me know what aircraft type we'll be on? I suspect it'll be either a 757 or a 737, but could you confirm?

Cheers,

TOM7120/1 should be Boeing 757-200.

That's correct. It positions up from BHX normally following a flight to/from Cancun.

Hi Darren or anyone else who knows the answer,

Travelling from Manchester to Cancun on 1st January 2014 Tom 196 coming back 15th January 2014 Tom 197, I've paid to select seats for my hubby and I travelling in economy, is there any I should avoid or I think I read that some have an extra pitch size does anyone know what number these seats are, we're not worried about window seats.

I know I have a wee while to wait till I choose my seats, but I loved to be organised way in advance ;)

Thanks

Irene


Hi there,

It's the pest here again ;) hubbiy has now decided he would really like a window seat :( , I would like to avoid the wing if possible, can anyone tell me what rows are over the wings please.

Irene67,

Rows towards the rear of the aircraft have unobstructed views (behind the wing) apart from row 37 that has no window. Anything aft of row 30 is fine but the further back you go, the less wing that is in view. The first 3 or so rows at the front of the economy section have a pretty clear views before the engine comes in to view.

Dear all,

I am posting with regard to flight TOM162 from Manchester to Punta Cana on the 16th August 2012. It was delayed at Manchester for 5 hours with technical issues. I have heard that these technical issues affected the aircraft on the previous day and was hoping to glean more information about this. Also, I believe that the flight crew needed replacing due them being out of hours.

If anyone can help me add more fact to this I would be very grateful.

Kindest Regards

They've cancelled that route for the winter season, not just February. I would imagine it's down to a lack of demand, if the amount of people going mad at the tour operators wanting to change destination is anything to go by.

They won't fly planes that are only 20% full for 5 or 6 hours each way, it's commercial suicide and not very environmentally friendly either.

In January 2011 when they had the revolution there were endless flight consolidations, people from Manchester had to fly via Gatwick adding hours to their flights, some flights were cancelled altogether, all sorts of disruption.

In some areas of the Red Sea things never really recovered from that and some routes never reinstated. Now they have all these further political issues which mean many people are choosing alternative destinations and giving all of Egypt the big swerve.

Wendy, if you paid more for your original flights than the ones from Bristol, ie there was a flight supplement to fly from your local area, that should be refunded. I would like to think they have offered this if it's the case, but you may have to ask. I think there may be some kind of small per person compensation amount as well as presumably this is classed as a major change depending on their T&C's. I guess it's to cover things like if you have had to change your airport parking arrangements.
