Finally sorted out all my things and herself decided we just had to go back to Barcardi Beach/island so booked it this week flying out 30th June. Dreamliner (finally! but hope the batteries don't melt) flight TOM 156. Am I right in thinking incoming flight of said aircraft should be TOM 137 from Montego Bay?
Still seem to be quite a few seats available (but not 33 J & H) for late bookings again if you're all up for it....

Hi Baz,
How's things? Glad you got things sorted. Enjoy the 787, you'll have to report back your findings. The inbound is indeed TOM136/7 from MBJ. I'd be more than up for going back to Cayo Levantado but the others are off to NYC on the 30th and I've just got back from Rhodes so need to earn some tokens for the next trip!
Have a good one

PS don't forget to check the trailer before setting off. Watch for wheels falling off, pack some grease just in case!!

Has anyone else noted that this select your seat is not correct it say "90 days from return flight" but when trying to book seats i note some are already booked?? to be told that 7 day holidays have booked them, unless i am dumb 7 or 14 makes no difference its 90 days from the return flight date? Can someone try to explain.
Hi
I'm travelling on 24/11/14 on tom112 and back on 8/12/14 tom113(I'm assuming that's the right number) man-puj-man
Just wondering what aircraft will be used on it? I'm keeping everything crossed for the Dreamliner, I understand they're due to take delivery of more this year?
Thanks in advance.

Rockhopper88,
Welcome onboard
your flights should be 787 operated but I'll check when I get home. You'll find extensive aircraft information including 787 destinations on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

for example if you were flying to Mexico on 4th September for 2 weeks the select your seat is available to book around the 20th June. i.e. 90 days before your homeward flight.
If you were going on 4th September for 1 week the select your seat would have been available to book yesterday the 13th June for your homeward flight.
People going for 3 weeks (and spending a lot more with Thomson) are at a real disadvantage as they can't book until 27th June.

Hi Denny thank you for the explanation however if we are all on the same flight home ie 14 September then 90days is the same for all regardless of your travel out day, which would mean the seat booking should be open for all on the 17 June. Or is this not the way it works?
Yes I understand what you mean and yes it should work like you say shouldn't it?
The way I explained is the way I worked it out but now you've confused me (not difficult LOL) does anyone else know different?

The way you explained it was correct Denny. People who go for a shorter duration have access to the outbound seating plan first.
It is all very confusing
and I believe Thomsons are thinking of changing the 90 day rule, but to what I don't know.

You should be able to select your seats as soon as you have a confirmed booking.
It should be 'free' (but factored into the cost) then it would stop the 100's of complaints on the Thomson Facebook page re kids being seated away from their parents because they haven't paid extra to select their seats.

I don't agree. It shouldn't be factored into the cost. Lot's of people don't mind where they sit, so why should they have to pay for it in the price of the ticket, just to appease people that don't consider sitting together to be important enough to pay for, but then proceed to moan? Having a base price and being able to add the bits you want is far better IMO. That way everyone has the option to choose what they add.
If sitting together is important to people, then they should factor it into the cost of the ticket or holiday themselves when comparing prices, the same as they would with extra legroom, extra luggage and upgrades etc
Tend to agree with the post above, we travelled Thomson last week to Palma and didn't pay to select our seats.
On the way back we were split up tbh we couldn't care less, I would rather save the money !
At least not including it in the price gives us that option. We were given seats together on the way out but I wouldn't have moaned if we weren't as we know it's a possibility.

Another one here who agrees with sunaddict - we nearly always go for extra space or legroom seats -and make sure we get them reserved as soon as the seat plan opens -its getting ever more important with the 3-3-3 configuration on the Dreamliner-not "couples friendly" - quite a lot of people were split up on our recent holiday to Mexico - some didn't care one jot whilst others moaned !!
So if you book extra legroom or space that doesn't guarantee that you will be sat together ?
Am I imagining it or have I read somewhere that Thomsons are about to retire their 767 long haul fleet? If so does anybody know how many Dreamliners they will have based at Manchester?
Hi Sunaddict, you have me confused now as when you check online it says 90days from your Return flight i cannot find anywhere where you can book outbound seats separately. I know my wife tried 90 days from our outbound flight and was told to call back it has to be 90days from return flight. I agree all so confusing if i book Qatar, KLM, BA, Emirates i can book my seat number at the time of booking at no extra cost, for Thomsons its another way of getting cash from your pocket. The reason we use and pay is i have a bad back and need to get an isle seat so i can get up and move.
@andy66 - no guarantees of sitting together in EITHER Premium OR Extra space/legroom seats! You don't have to pay any more but you MUST go online or phone in the 90 day window to reserve two seats together or you may get stuck in the odd seats.
On our recent flight on the Dreamliner there were odd ELR seats left unbooked,; we had a single guy sat next to us on the return journey who was part of a wedding party who were scattered all over the plane and on the way out we had a married man whose wife was about 6 rows behind -bit of a pain because he had the window seat ,and his wife kept coming up to lean over to talk to him!!!

@iankitch -think that they are planning to retire the last ex FC 767 in July...but they will still have ex Thomsonfly planes in use.
