neavsie,
You have it easy on the 787-8, it was a 14 hour flight with fuel stop in SFB the last time I went to PVR! You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide with link to seating information and seat plan. Seating is personal preference ultimately so depends what you like.

hello again
We are on the Dreamliner on Sun 13th April TOM 108 from MAN to BGI leaving at 09.50am.
We prebooked flight seats over the phone and have just paid for standard tickets.
They say the seats we have been given are 7H and 7J the latter a window seat.
I am now puzzled.
Are these in Ecoonomy ? And looking at the plan of the aircraft do they actually exist ?
Thanks

HuddersfieldTourist,
The aircraft is 9 abreast in economy with H/J being the window seat and adjacent on the starboard side. Row 7 is the last row in premium club though so I would double check what you have paid for or have been allocated. Row 7 on the starboard side doesn't exist either, it's where the toilet is!

Thanks for the reply.
I now have written confirmation from Thomson Airways which says TOM108 Seats 7H and 7J on the flight from Man to BGI. It is one of those confirmation of additional services receipts/invoices and also quotes the booking reference and the Internal Reference !!
How can they book two seats which do not exist ?
Is it still a Dreamliner flight ? Date is 13.4.2014.
Do I need to raise it with Chris Browne to see if she knows they are modifying the aircraft !!!!! :-)
Thanks

HuddersfieldTourist,
It's still scheduled to be a 787-8 on my screen and given they are allocating seats H/J, suggesting 9 abreast, that confirms it. I wouldn't worry, you'll have seats allocated but row 7 is a strange one if you're in economy club, especially with them allocating H/J. All you can do is question it for confirmation.

Hi Darren
I'm travelling on 7th may from Gatwick to Luxor with Thomson. I tried to book our seats today, but the seat plan on Thomsons website shows a plane with just 32 rows. It's a rubbish plan as it doesn't show doors or toilets so choosing a seat is very hard! I called them and have decided to pay the extra for exit seats, which I'm told are rows 15 AND 16 as there are two emergency exits. I can't find a plan anywhere online that backs this up.
I know that this flight is usually a 757 200, as you kindly gave me this info a couple of weeks ago. Any clues as to 1) which row I should book, 15 or 16?
And 2) what plane this is with just 32 rows?
Thanks in advance.

lilac labrador,
LGW-LXR-LGW may now be operated by Boeing 737-800. You'll find a better seat plan linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Row's 15 and 16 are the overwing exits with extra legroom. Both offer the same seat pitch, there's nothing in them really other than row 15 doesn't recline.

Thanks so much! Always such a quick response 
That's really helpful and the seat plan you have on the site makes sense - I can see where everything is. I guess if row 15 doesn't recline ( in the way of exit in case of emergency?) then 16 is better.
Roll on May

lilac Labrador,
That's the reason row 15 doesn't recline, it needs to be in the upright position at all times so not to impede an emergency exit. Seating is personal preference, but the advantage over 15, row 16 won't have a seat reclining in to your space.

Hi
We have booked a holiday via Olympic Holidays but flying with Thompson. My husband will be taking his walking stick with us, will he be able to take this on board or will it have to go in the hold? Also, he will be taking his sleeping machine for his sleep apnoea but will be packing it in his suitcase, will that be allowed and will we have to get a letter from his ENT person to prove that he needs it?
thanks a lot
Lou

briggsy2007,
If he needs the walking stick to board the aircraft, he'll be permitted to take it onboard. His sleep apnea machine will be fine in his suitcase. Just pack it well as suitcase can get thrown around.

No letter needed if it's going in the hold but it may help in getting it so that it it doesn't impinge on your baggage allowance- they may allow say 3-5kg for it which may help offset the additional weight that other passengers don't have to carry.
Stick is ok in the cabin, if it doesn't collapse it may need to go a few rows away in a bigger locker depending on where you are sat- not all lockers are the same size.

Regarding sleep apnoea machine - CPAP is allowed to be carried on as in additional hand luggage, it is not weighed as part of your hand luggage allowance. Best advise is to get a "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" letter from the hospital or sleep unit which states the patients name d.o.b etc and describes the machine and model number of the machine and place this under the machine in the case that it comes in. We also found it prudent to take a couple of copies (well travelled machine!) one of which we carry in suitcase. If you place it in your luggage not only does it become part of your allowance but what happens if it gets lost or damaged? Some airlines write "medical" on the boarding pass, just declare it at check in and confidently state it is medical and you will have no problems.

Latest news is that they realise they have booked me in to the toilet where 7H and 7J would be rather than 2 seats and they offered us 17H and 17J and then said they would give us 13H and 13J because row 13 has extra legroom - how much extra has row 13 please ?
And how can we have been booked in to 7H and 7J when they do not exist ? It was not a typing error they actually agreed they had allocated seats that do not exist. That could have been fun when we got on board or to the check in desk when there was no other seats left together with a window.
HuddersfieldTourist,
The seats you've now been allocated are good, im sure you'll be pleased with them. They are slightly roomier than standard seats. There's a link on our What Aircraft? guide explaining the seat pitches on the 787-8.

Thanks - I guess it is seats ABC and GHJ that are in rows 10 to 13 inclusive that have the 36" and the rest over the wing have 34". It is not clear which rows at the rear section have 33".
Also still would be interested to know how they can book you into two seats that do not exist.

It would be interesting to know if you can expand on this ( the 33" seats ) or correct it as regards the other rows and pitches. Thanks
