Thanks Darren, thats really helpful, i have a feeling it might be the 767 as i asked thomas cook if it was going to be the dreamliner (heres hoping) and they said no, all the seats seem to have got booked really quickly so me and my partner are now on two seats together on the aisle in row 21 and 27 on the way back, as i am going to be five months pregnant when travelling i was just abit worried about leg room, inflight entertainment etc but hopefully will be ok. i'd be interested to hear from anyone whose done a similar thomson charter flight from manchester to barbados (picking up thomson cruise in barbados on arrival) travelling in late dec for 2 weeks. I'm not the best flyer so any info that might be helpful would be much appreciated, thanks Rach
rkaur,
The cruise charters are normally 787's but that depends what the contract this year asks for. Thomson are ahead of the game when it comes to economy seat pitch and IFE so you've nothing to worry about. They've been my charter airline of choice since 2006. I've done 14 hour flights with them so you'll be fine to BGI! Have a look at our What Aircraft? guide (link below). You'll find lots of information and photos, including cabin and seat photos.

Hi Darren.
Do you know if the East Midlands to Barbados on 8/11 for a P&O cruise and return on 22/11 be a 767 or 787 Dreamliner? Sorry I don't have flight numbers.

TOM168/9 will be a 767.
Thanks. Hoping for an ex FCA with the 2-3-2 config.
Hi.
TOM 168 Seat plan shows 2-3-2 so should be Ex FCA.
What flights will the aircraft be operating prior to this so I can track it and identify which plane it will be.
Thanks

Hello
Would anybody know when the IFE for Thomson long haul on the dreamliner is to be updated to the winter schedule. Noticed that the latest IFE info goes from Aug-Oct.
Thanks for any help

screwy,
It should be ex-FCA. There are no 'best' window seats, it's personal preference. All seats offer the same basic facilities. You might want to avoid rows 14-29 if you don't want the wing in view.

Thanks Darren. i'll bear that in mind when the seat booking window opens.
I take it that not all the ex fca 767's have been withdrawn.?

Just a quick point. We have already booked (for next May!) and instead of the incessant emails about upgrading, I actually had a phone call yesterday from a "live" person at Thomsons asking if I wanted to upgrade to extra legroom or seats together (apparently it was a special offer). Seeing as it's just a (fairly) short hop to the Med, we aren't that bothered.
After going with Thomsons 6 times in the last 3 years is this a new marketing ploy ?

They have changed the configurations of the 737 and 757 to incorporate more extra legroom/extra space seats and the 787 has more than historically the 767 has/had so that department has more to sell to less people(less flights that the previous seperate Thomsonfly/First Choice airlines had) although there is slightly more demand now days and people are more accustomed to paying for them now some scheduled airlines charge.
Thanks for the replies guys.
If you are travelling on the 787 the extra space seats are not worth the extra money. The 'normal' seats seem to have the same space and legroom.
