Bob82,

Welcome onboard :tup
While we're happy to comment on aircraft types for particular flights you're taking, it's a waste of time if you're after several flights that you aren't. Are you on all these flights? Please be specific where you are flying from, eg Manchester, Gatwick so I know where to look them up. Thanks

Darren


I am planning on either doing 7666 on 22 nd August from East Midlands or Tom 7459 on 20th August from birmingham. Thanks

Bob82,

Thanks for confirming that. The more information you provide, the easier it is to advise you.

EMA-PFO-EMA (TOM7666/7) are operated by Boeing 737-800.
BHX-LPA-BHX (TOM7458/9) are operated by Boeing 757-200.

Well I am doing ema flight to paphos which I'm happy to be told is a 737-800 as I hate the 757-200. Do bhx operate 767s on medium/short haul flights now?

Not to PFO.

That's a shame, one last one Tom 7121 to ace from bhx on 25th October, do thomson operate 767 to any short haul destinations from bhx?

Bob82,

BHX-ACE-BHX (TOM7121/2) are operated by Boeing 757-200.

Are you basing your travel plans solely on the aircraft type? Surely the most important part of your holiday is the destination?

The flight is important part, I would avoid certain flights depending on aircraft type, I would avoid a certain UK airlines business cabin on their A330's or a certain Middle East carriers 777's in economy.

No, the holiday is the most important, I just find the 757-200 very cramped, do bhx operate 767-300 from bhx on short haul flights?

Bob you can get extra legroom seats on the 757, I've booked them for my trip to Santorini in July for a wedding (not mine).

I love the 757, I like to look out of the window and see the RR logo on the engines and it gives me pride that they are made by friends of mine in Derby.
The 757 is also a very safe plane, there are more wheels so the braking is better than a 737. I really love the take offs from a short runway, they go like a fast sports car.

When I book my holiday I chose a 757 and want to take off from Skiathos' very short runway before they all get taken out of service.

Shhhh, I was hoping to keep that quiet!!!

By the way there is a list somewhere of the routes Thomson are using the 787s on short haul from LWG and MAN. But sadly not to Santorini.

I've watched landings at Skiathos airport on you tube , looks quite an experience for a day out plane spotting !!
