It does seem that Thomson do cluster their flights to certain destinations on specific days of the week. I guess that they do that to minimise coach costs at the destination airports, to simplify planning, and maybe also to reduce the need for reps to have “airport days”.
However considering the increased flight delays which can result with air traffic congestion, and that a delayed 737/757/767/787 might waste its significant fare earning time, and the risk of horrible EU flight delay compensation claims if delays exceed the magic three hour figure, and the inconvenience to passengers who may look to an alternate airline next time, and the congestion caused at hotel checkin desks, and the risk that flight crew scheduling will be messed up, etc.. etc
Maybe Thomson flight planners need to do some sort of strategy review?
Coaches and rep time might be cheap in comparison?
on sun16 August 2015 TOM2730 and returning Wednesday 26th August on TOM2337. Could you tell me what type of aircraft we will be flying on and if we will have IFE? A friend flew to Greece a couple of weeks ago and they had IFE on their flight. I thought it was an overriding issue that all flights under 6hrs didn't have this, many thanks for checking.
