Qman,

I think your post needs to be sent to Thomson rather than posting it on here, and probably from your son who was on the flight and experienced it rather than yourself. While I share your concerns about passengers behaving in this way, of which there is no excuse, what would you propose the airline did? Once you're 7 miles above the Atlantic, there's not a lot you can do other than keep the peace and ensure the safety of the aircraft and it's passengers is maintained. Upon landing, it can then be dealt with by local police as it seems was the case here.

Hi Darren,

Do you know of anywhere that has the updated 737-800 seat plans with the extra legroom seats, do you know where the extra legroom seats are located on the 738

Many thanks

Shionhughes,

I've not seen a copy of the updated seat plan. If you have your booking details and have chosen to select your seats, you can view it on Thomson's website. The seats are towards the front of the aircraft.

hi Darren
can you help with plane we will be flying on

TOM7704 TOM7705

Hi Dazbo
Someone told me that the Dreamliner is flying to Majorca this year, is this correct?

Yes, the 787 is flying to selected short/mid haul destinations from Gatwick in a short haul configuration (325 seats instead of 291) these include Cape Verde, Tenerife, Dalaman,Heraklion and Majorca others too but I can't remember off the top of my head. I've also heard a long haul configured 787 will be doing selected short haul flights from Birmingham - this is not confirmed and may have changed.

Any from manchester?

Top-timm,

Welcome onboard
Please provide all your flight details when requesting aircraft information. Aircraft can change throughout the season so we need to know dates of travel, where you are flying from etc.

EMA-LCA-EMA (TOM7704/5) are operated by Boeing 737-800.

hi

We are on TOM108 on 12th April 2015 from MAN to BGI to go on a Thomson cruise - it appears from the seating plan that the plane is a Dreamliner - seating plan shows 3 -3- 3. With 7 rows in Premium and the toilets in there on the 7th row that reinforces my view of the Dreamliner. The reasons I am puzzled are
a) The flight was a 767-300 - has it been changed or is the seating plan wrong on flight extras ? Is this route each sunday on TOM 108 running a Dreamliner please at the moment ?
b) when you go on flight extras there are no premium seats or extra leg room seats to pick and pay for but if you go through to the flight as a separate booking as part of the cruise package you can still pick both - there are said to be 17 premium seats and 3 extra leg room seats. Why would there be such a discerepancy - surely ,either there are seats in say extra leg room or there are not ?

Thanks

HuddersfieldTourist,

TOM108/9 are operated by Boeing 787-8. If you're looking to book extra legroom or premium seats, you'll probably have to call Thomson or your cruise operator.

Darren

Yes, several Manchester 767 flights have had to be changed to a 787 for operational reasons. The difference in seats is probably (I'm assuming here) due to the difference in premium seating capacities and one of the systems hasn't been updated.

Hi, I've read a few times that the Thomson 737 fleet is getting a 'cabin refresh'
Do any of the experts here know what the 'refresh' entails? Also if these improvements are likely to be done for the Summer season?

Thanks in advance

I've booked a holiday Manchester-Sharm el Sheikh, could you let me know the type of aircraft planned to operate my flights please:

11.6.15-25.6.15
TOM572/3

Thanks very much

have heard that Thomson are altering the seats in the dreamliners something about moving the entertainment screens from the armrests to seat back and removing the larger armrest it was stowed in ,has anyone heard about this please , am flying to Mexico this summer and wasnt looking forward to that large armrest made getting in and out of seats awkward . thank You

Hi petaraven,

Check out Trip advisor .. lots of info on there regarding the updated PE seats on Dreamliner.

Screens in row 1 still remain in the same place (out or arms rests) and according to people who have recently travelled recently on the DL in row 1, there is no longer a foot rest in this row! Rows 2 onwards in PE ... IFE is now seat back although I believe the armrests are still the same? Check out youtube as there is a recent video on there of the new seating ... posted on the 23rd Feb

About 4 aircraft have already been changed. The armrests are different as they were the main problem. They are still fixed, but no longer protrude beyond the end of the seat. The IFE is seatback apart, from Row 1 which remains the same on a pull up arm. There are no foot rests in Row 1. The footrests in the other rows are like pedals which you pull down.
