iankitch,
Aircraft aren't based at any particular airport, they rotated to cover long haul from the main airports as well as regionals. MAN will normally have 2 787's operating at any one time, on some days 3. The remaining ex-FCA 767's will leave the fleet by end of July (replaced by 787's). The ex-TOM 767's will remain on fleet for a while yet.

Hi Darren
Thanks for info, from Thomson website it looks like there are 5 767s left in fleet and 6 Dreamliners but don't know how old that info is.

iankitch,
There are 4x 787-8 currently in the fleet with the last 2 due for delivery in July. There are 2x ex-FCA 767's that will depart at the end of July and 3x ex-Tom 767's that will remain in the fleet.

Thanks Darren
Looks like the chances of getting on a Dreamliner for long haul are getting better.

iankitch,
Flights operated by the 787-8 are highlighted in their brochure (linked from our What Aircraft? guide) so you can see which flights are scheduled with them.

qatarman wrote: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.
BA charge for seating requests. If you have Gold or Silver status with them you can choose them free at the time of booking, and even Silver can't choose exit rows. If you have a fully flexible ticket you can select them free at time of booking. Other than that, there are no free seat selections at time of booking.
You can't book your outbound seats separately with Thomsons. At least not officially, although some call centre agents will let you, and some will let you book both at 90 days prior to the outbound. Most stick to the rules - 90 days prior to the inbound.
Thanks for the info Dave 
Do Thomson have any program whereby if you're a regular flier you can gain status so you can choose a seat when you book ? Like BA does , silver and gold rewarding regular fliers and not just with seat booking either .
The reason I ask is that my wife had Thomson cabin crew leave behind a passenger list
which had a lot of detail about how many flights each passenger had flown with Thomson and thereby how valuable their custom was to Thomson .
I'm trying to understand the logic of a customer who has spent more money on a 2 or 3 week holiday having a worse choice of seats than someone who has booked 1 week and probably spent less .

Oh , I wondered if they had something like Monarch's Vantage Club , though I think that's only for scheduled flights .

Your flight comes in from Cancun (TOM182/3). IFE is changed every 2 months. I update the listing as I get it, linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi Darren,
Our flights are now confirmed as TOM 2468/9 MAN/ACE/MAN in 11/9 and 25/9, with the MAN departure at 0800.
Are we on a 767 and if so, what version?
Cheers,
Iain

Rang Thomsons this morning to book our extra space seats to Crete in September. Told it was a 767 and seats offered suggest it is one of the long haul configurated planes. Does this sound right?
Ian
Ian
thanks very much dazbo
Hi Darren,
I know it's early but booked a trip to Zante in Jun 2015
Flying out on TOM2504, back on 2505 any ideas on aircraft type yet or still way too early :-)
Thanks

Shionhughes,
It's a bit far off yet to be sure, but I'd anticipate MAN-ZTH-MAN (TOM2504/5) to be operated by Boeing 737-800.

Thanks for the confirmation Darren, although it looks as if it's due to be IA and that's been having a few delays the past couple of days. Still, there's plenty of time to catch up.
I'd almost forgotten our rendition of "three wheels on my wagon" and the piled up cases in the back. Something always happens to me when I go to the DR (don't forget I left my wallet on the plane going out last time too) - I just hope it wont have anything to do with melting batteries!
