Thanks of the reply.

Would you happen to know what routes the two new aircraft be assigned too,or do they rotate the 787 fleet around for maintenance ect ?

Whomenever,

Aircraft aren't assigned to any particular route. All 6 will have the same long haul configuration so they'll just join the fleet and be rotated around the various airports and operate all the routes.

...there is only G-OOBM left - and I thought that was being retired in July??

The seats already allocated may be due to people on 1 week holidays who can reserve seats earlier than those on a two week break or due to phone bookings being made before the seat plan appeared online.

We have been told that they are Premium seats and they are unable to be booked until June, so we will have to wait a bit longer to book them.

james 84,

MAN-TFS-MAN (TOM2202/3) are operated by Boeing 767-300/ER.

Darren


Cheers Darren

can you advise if that will be a ex First Choice or a Thomson plane and also what the configuration is.

I am only asking as we are traveling with our 2 year old daughter and i want to know if it will be worth pre booking seats?

also I assume they will not have premium on this aircraft?

cheers

james 84,

It should be ex-TOM in a 290 seat configuration but you'll see which when you have access to the seat plan. The remaining ex-FCA's are leaving the fleet in July.

Pat,

The aircraft operating TOM044/5 comes in from Montego Bay (TOM094/5) or Cancun (TOM052/3) on a 2 week rotating basis so it depends on the dates of travel.
