Hi Darren

Do you know what aircraft is operating the Manchester / Mombasa TOM142/143 flights? Do you have any pics of the premuim cabin?

Thanks

Kiltman HT Mod,

The ex-FCA Boeing 767-300/ER's operate to Indian Ocean destinations. I have several cabin photos on Airliners.net.

May/June IFE isn't out yet. It changes every two months. It will linked in the What Aircraft Thread as soon as it is available.

The 757-200 is an excellent aircraft, a sports car of airliners! Please supply flight numbers when requesting aircraft information as there are several flights to MAH. This ensure we get the correct information for you. I'm assuming you're on the TOM2608/9 or TOM2656/7? It should be a 757-200.

Hi Darren, thanks for that and apologies for the late reply, it is the TOM 2656/7, so as you say it will be the 757. I don't know why I have a thing against them, from an enthusiast point of view I am like you, they are a great aircraft but for some reason and it is probably in the head I feel more crammed in then on say a 737, even though the seat pitch is the same, I just can't get comfortable. Would you know yet, will it have the new style seats on the TOM aircraft, they seem to let my knees in a bit easier.

Thanks again

It's too early to know as yet as they rotate almost weekly. I'll have a look in June in you remind me.

I've booked a Nile cruise from Manchester on flight TOM668 24/8/11 for 7 nights. Has the aircraft type been confirmed as yet please? Previously when I've been to Luxor I was on the 767-300, but have been told due to lower demand to Egypt this summer many smaller aircraft are operating the flights.

Thanks in advance.

jmac,

MAN-LXR-MAN (TOM668/9) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

I thought I had seen a post recently listing the films on the flights, I can't find it now. I am travelling Manchester to Cancun in September and I thought I had seen that the Harry Potter film was on the schedule - I guess they change the list during the year just wondering if Harry Potter might be shown on my flight.

There's no way of nothing yet what the IFE for September will be. It changes every two months. September's is due out end of August.
Harry Potter 7 is showing during March/April so I wouldn't have thought they would show it again in September. The current IFE is linked in the What Aircraft Thread.

Feebee,

As Sunaddict mentions, I update our What Aircraft? guide every 2 months when the IFE list becomes available for the next 2 month period as it changes 6 times per year. The link is in my signature below. IFE for your flights will be updated at the beginning of September so you'll have to be patient and wait for the list to be released. No one will know what it is until then.

hi Darren

I'm new to all this.

Flying 12 June LGW to PUJ.

I know its an ex FCA 2-3-2, although was wondering if it the one where it has exit at row 20?

Reason i ask is i've booked row 19a&b for outbound and return - believe you can put your seat back without disturbing those behind you :)

thanks

Welcome onboard :tup
There are 6 ex-FCA 767's in service, 5 of which are in the v2 configuration with the over wing exit on row 20 so those in row 19 can recline their seat without impacting on those behind. I spent a happy 14 hours in 19E the other year! There is an aircraft (G-OOAN) that is slightly dfferent and has the V1 configuration with the exit row on 28. Aircraft are rotated regularly so it's impossible to say at this stage which specific aircraft will be assigned to your flight. Based on there being 5 of 6 aircraft in the V2 configuration, chances are you'll be on one of those but it's not guaranteed. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including a link to seating plans.

Hello,

Wondered of anyone can help. We are flying out to PMA from MAN in June and I have just got the seating plan through to pre book our seats. On the plan it looks like the wing of the plane starts from row 7. Is this true? It is the 2-4-2 formation. Will this plane have nehind seat IFE?

Also, which row is the entrance door to the plane?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome onboard :tup
Please provide flight numbers when requesting aircraft information as there are often several flights per day. This ensures we get the correct informtion for you. Your flights are operated by a short haul configured Boeing 767-304/ER (winglets). The wing on the Boeing 767 starts from approximately row 16. The aircraft has seat back IFE installed throughout. There are 3 sets of doors and 1 set of over wing exits. You'll normally embark and disembark at door 2L (row 14, on the left) although at some airports, door 1 is also used and airstairs at door 4 (rear). You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).
