Rockhopper88,

Your aircraft comes in from Cancun (TOM186/7) or Montego Bay (TOM136/7).

I like the extra legroom seats on the 757s. I flew in them to Sicily this year and have booked them to Santorini next year.

The last time I flew on a Thomson 757 in the green seats without extra legroom, I'd got cramp even before takeoff!

But they will only keep these seats as long as people book them. I've got a feeling most passengers only go on the lowest price possible. American Airlines found this out.

I flew in the 757 ELR seats to Corfu last year -they were all full -but no way of knowing how many had actually paid for them :que

Suggests the flight isn't full -and they are desperate to get as much income as possible :rofl

This is my point, it seems like they are selling them off cheap. So not many want to pay for the extra legroom but will complain anyway!

Use it or lose it. I reckon we'll lose it.

Not sure how that ties in with them ringing me some 6 months before we are due to fly ?

Sorry Darren put this in another topic by mistake...
It seems that the P&O charter Man-BGI is now a 787---TOM116 is this correct.?

screwy,

MAN-BGI-MAN (TOM116/7) are currently showing as a Boeing 787-8 on the schedule.

Hi
Is it possible to find out what plane I should be looking out for when at the airport so I know if the plane is delayed. How would I find out where "our" plane is coming from?

We are flying TOM124 Manchster to Goa on the 10th December 2014

I have the flight radar app and wondered if I could track the particular plane prior to us getting on it? Does that make sense!

Thanks

On a PC the Flightradar24 application just plug in TOM124
You should see a screen then like this.

http://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/tom124/

Then next to the aircraft type 788 you can see the plane ID – something like G-TUIF.
Click on that ID on this screen and it will take you to a list of previous flights which looks like

http://www.flightradar24.com/data/airplanes/g-tuif/

That then will give you some idea of where your plane may be coming from. However planes are rotated quite often so checking close to your flight date should give you the most accurate result.

Or you could ask Darren for best accuracy!!

Thanks very much. I bought the app for Android so will help pass away the airport waiting times.

Whomenever,

Your flight positions in to BHX early morning to operate the flight, it doesn't have a flight immediately before it.
