So, for those of us who haven't booked extra legroom, are all the economy Dreamliner seats the same pitch?
Looking at Daz's seat plan picture linked from his signature there seems to be a whole variety all over the place!
Any info?

Since Thomson reconfigured the 787s standard economy seat pitch is 32". Extra space are bulkhead and exit rows. Row 10 bulkhead and Row 30 exit, but only seats B/C and G/H are sold as extra space on Row 30. Row 30 also doesn't have a window.

Extra legroom have 34" pitch and are Rows 31-36 all seats and Row 37 D/E/F.

Thanks for that, didn't realise they'd clawed back an inch, anyway, still an inch more than BA/Virgin I guess!

Interesting that following all of the hype and advertising about increased space on Thomson Dreamliners when introduced, they have now gone and very quietly significantly REDUCED seat pitch and so legroom. They didn't advertise that! Just like when they introduced the Dreamliner they didn't mention the fact that, compared to their previous lovely First Choice 767 aircraft, they changed from a 2.4.2 configuration to 3.3.3 - thus reducing WIDTH available to each passenger.
Here's an interesting article about flying economy on the 787, (Thomson and other airlines 3.3.3 configuration) https://www.runwaygirlnetwork.com/2015/01/22/opinion-why-i-tell-people-to-avoid-flying-on-a-787/

Because of the rebranding Thomson reduced the pitch to bring their 787s in line with the other TUI airlines who operate 787s.

Hello All
This is in regards to TOM344 and TOM 345 to Dalaman, May 2016

I have Extra Legroom Seats booked. That is the seats that are at the front of the plane, NOT the extra space seats in rows 10 and 30. However these are NOT premium seats as its not a premium service on Short Haul to Turkey.

I have chosen my seats successfully online and have chosen 1 ABC and 1 DEF (they are 3x3x3 in this cabin).

I am trying to find out whether there will be any IFE on these seats and whether there is much room inbetween them and the bulkhead.
We are travelling with 2 children aged 4 and 8 and I've chosen these seats because they hopefully afford us space for the kids to move about without disturbing anyone.

ANY advice whatsoever would be gratefully received and anyone who has been in this cabin and has pictures I'd love to see them please.

Thanks in advance

You got replies to your question when you asked on Trip Advisor this morning. Have you seen them?

Flying STN-FAO on 1st sept TOM5462. Can you tell me what type of aircraft please . Many regards Don Coulthart

don coulthart,

STN-FAO-STN (TOM5462/3) should be operated by Boeing 737-800.

Darren

Thanks Darren

Darren, We are flying from Gatwick to Barbados on 13th March with Thomson on flight TOM060. Would you please be able to tell me where this aircraft will have come into Gatwick from and what time it is due at Gatwick.
Thank you

ChrissyR53,

Welcome onboard
The inbound flight for TOM060/1 is TOM032/3 to/from Puerto Vallarta and is schedule to land in LGW at 0940. Plenty of time to absorb any delays.

Darren

Thank you Darren, much appreciated.

Sorry me again Darren. I have been keeping an eye on how this flight has been doing over the last couple of weeks. The last 3 Sunday's (including today) flight TOM060 has been delayed over 3 hours. I've checked and it's because the flight is late coming in from Puerto Vallarta. I just wondered if you, or anyone else, knew why this seems to be a regular occurrence lately. Thanks

ChrissyR53,

Late inbound flights can be for any number of reasons; atc delays, weather, technical problems, late passengers etc. I don't have specifics for individual flights. Past flights are also no indication of punctuality for future flights.

Darren

This weekends' flight to from Puerto Vallarta looks a mess!
Seems G-TUIE was used which has been based on Stockholm according to Flightradar, this I guess is part of the TUI group sharing Dreamliners if things go wrong?
Yesterday's 0915 left at 1730!
Anyway, the return flight (TOM33) is 11 hours late arriving back in LGW half eight tonight!

Hello Darren,

Can you please tell me which aircraft for TOM 1604 NCL-VRN September 10th
Thanks
Angela
