Leg room, Any idea what the legroom is like on the Manchester Taba flight leaving tuesdays, It is Tom292/293.
Is this flight classed as long haul.

I think the plane is a 757-200.

Thanks

I totally agree with Dazbo, the 757 esp with Rolls Royce engines are a fantastic aircraft. The take offs from a short runway are a real push in the back. They are a very safe aircraft as well, you are lucky if you go on a 757.
By the way it is not the 757's fault if the airlines push the seats too close together. They say we want cheap flights so they cram us in!

Garry_Nutter,

Flights to Egypt are classed as short (medium) haul. MAN-TCP-MAN (TOM292/3) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

MAN-BJV-MAN (TOM532/3) should be operated by a Boeing 767-304/ER (winglets, 328 short haul). You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

jackmax,

I'm assuming you're on the NCL-CUN-NCL (TOM392/3)? The aircraft should be inbound from Sanford (TOM670/1).

Hey,

We are flying on to Holguin on the 16th Aprill 2011 from manchester (TOM 0182). You helped me with the type of aircraft a few months ago :) (thanks) but I was just wondering if you knew what aircraft we will actually be flying on and where it came from previously its just so we can get an idea if there would be any delays :).

Thanks in Advance

j_mie,

MAN-HOG-MAN (TOM182/3) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. If you're wanting the exact registration, we won't know until the day before. It makes little difference in any case as there's only a few seats that differ. The aircraft operates MAN-Sanford-MAN (TOM118/9) before your flight.

Hi All,

Travelling NCL-TFS on TOM 1558 22nd April, can anybody tell me if it'll be a First Choice or Thomson aircraft 752 or 75W?

Went to LPA on a 752 last year and it was an old bucket of bolts. :rofl

Cheers

Hello again Darren

Flight TOM070 April 20th Gatwick to Punta Cana. I was just wondering what the planes previous flight will be, ie where is it coming in from?

Really disappointed about the lack of pamper packs. It is useful not to have the fuss of carrying lip salve and moisturiser through security checks, and I always wear the socks on the flights. Looks like it is byo this year! Great to have forums like this to find out these things before going on board. Thanks.

AirQuake,

Aircraft are swapped and changed throughout the year so it's dificult to say this far in advance which will be based on your dates of travel. It's an ex-TOM 752 at the moment (G-BYAP), but don't be surprised if it changes as it's leaving the fleet on 26th April.

The aircraft operates to Liberia, Costa Rica (TOM074/5) before the Punta Cana (TOM070/1).

can anyone tell me how many rows of premium there are on ex thomson planes? Ive just this second got my seating plans and I think by the look of it there are only 5 rows. If so does the last row have a window at it unlike some first choice aircraft? I would rather have the back row so I can put my seat back with the person in front does so and I dont have to worry about people behind me!

thanks Graeme

Ex Thomsonfly do have 5 premium rows. As far as I know there is a window on row 5 but I'm sure Darren will be able to correct or confirm that.

Hi, my first post! Love the site, shall be reading reviews and plan to add my own on return.

In July I fly from London Gatwick to Punta Cana for my honeymoon. Flight No TOM060. Whilst excited for my first ever flight I am also nervous so was hoping for some advice on what seats to pick or to avoid? Not asking for exact seat numbers, just an idea of where you would suggest to sit for a first time flyer to add to the experience.

Many thanks in advance.

graeme235,

As Sunaddict mentions, row 5 in premium has a window. It's row 10 that doesn't in the front section of the ex-TOM long haul 76W's. There will be people behind you in row 6 although you're seperated by a curtain and there's plenty of room between the rows.
