Hi qatarman the flight thing, yes you are missing that if you have booked a one two three week holiday you will all fly out on the same flight but the passengers that have booked the three weeks (or more) cannot book there flights, as you say until 90 days from return date, thus allowing the one and two weekers first choice of the seats, sorry not very good at explaining but believe me it is totally unfair.
It actually did happen to us a few years ago when we had booked select your seats only to find on the 90 days no seats together left and that was a Barbados flight

Maybe I am having my thick period but if the return flight date is the criteria and if the 7/14/21 day pax are flying home on the same flight same day then all are equal the only explanation is pax are getting round the 90 day return flight rule. We are travelling to Cyprus for 14 nights being joined by friends 7 days later who are on the same flight home as us their 90 day rule is exactly the same as ours. I fully agree that it needs looking at but as it stands not much can be done.
Difficult for Thomson to take seat numbers at the time of booking as they are not sure which type of aircraft will be operating the flights.
If you check earlier posts I asked Darren which aircraft his system showing a 767 however we have been told its a Dreamliner.

I thought scheduled flights already had aircraft's assigned to them. At least the appropriate size for the trip.
qatarman / jeffspen,
Its not uncommon to have a type change post scheduling. In this case, you're getting a roomier more modern aircraft. While the configuration may not suit your needs specifically, it should at least be a more pleasant trip.

Hi qatarman
Its not the return flight that is the problem its the outward, its probably me as I say I am not very good at explaining but theoretically if your were going for 90 days you could only reserve your seats the day before you leave so they could all be gone but you would be first with the return flight
Anyway congrats on getting a 787 our Sep hol is a 737 but we do (hopefully) get the Dreamliner in Feb

If for eg you fly out on 25th May for a week you return 1st June seats bookable from 3rd March (I think)
If you go on 25th May for 2 weeks return date is 8th June so seats bookable from 10th March. If you got for 21 nights you return 15th June so seats bookable from 17th March, and so on.
Plenty of complaints around from people travelling for 3 weeks that struggle to get seats together on the outbound flight.
If they want to keep the 90 day rule put it back to how it used to be. 90 day from the date of each flight.

Thank you Darren.
I have just booked our seat numbers and was surprised to see that on the seat plan it shows Premium Cabin is still 3x3x3 same as Economy the seat plan I had for Thomson Dreamliner shows 2x3x2.?? We did pay for extra Leg room.

It sounds like one of the 787s they've reconfigured to all economy for short/mid haul this season.

Hi, we are flying from Glasgow on thurs on TOM1448. Does anyone know if they play movies on that flight?
Thanks!
Thanks!
No entertainment is shown on the aircraft assigned to your flight(757) only the 767/787 shows entertainment currently.
Hi, we are flying LGW - Sharm TOM396/7 think this is 767/304ER. Do you know if there are any rows without windows? Many thanks
Hi Darren,
I'm flying EDI-ACE-EDI (TOM1454/5, Outbound: 02/07, Inbound: 16/07).
I know the aircraft type will be a 737-800 but I was wondering if you happen to know which particular aircraft is scheduled to operate the flight, i.e. whether the currently based aircraft will operate it or if it will swap before then.
It's just because I really want to travel on an aircraft with the SKY Interior...
Thank you!

Aircraft are rotated regularly for maintenance. Your flight on the 2nd is likely to be the current based aircraft but there's a good chance it won't be for your return flight.

Hi Darren,
Thanks for your response.
I know that it will be the current based aircraft (G-TAWC) as this returned to EDI from NBE tonight.
Hope it'll be one with a SKY Interior for the return flight too!
