Hi there

Have booked on TOM862/3 LGW-DLM-LGW on 18/06/11 returning 20/06/11.

I have booked extra legroom seats for me and my brother (as we are both over 6ft). I have seats 17G/H going out and 35G/H coming back.

Can you tell me if we actually have a window in line with these seats? Nothing worse than having a window seat that doesnt have a window,

.

Thanks very much

NickG1988,

Welcome onboard :tup

LGW-DLM-LGW (TOM862/3) are operated by a Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul, winglets). Row 17 are just behind the toilets at the front of the centre cabin. There are a couple of rows in that location with no windows. Row 17 may have a partial view. Row 35 have windows.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks Darren, was worried about a no window situation, I can deal with a partial view though.

qatarman,

The first is due for delivery in January 2012, assuming there are no further delays at Boeing. It's unlikely Cancun will be one of the early routes it's used on.

weecarol,

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).

Just been on to select our seats for the flights and both are coming up as a 3-3 configuration - any idea what aircraft this will be?

Thanks

If it is, it will probably be a very long flight as they will have to go the long way round. Usually takes about 6 months to get long haul over water clearance. Up to then they will probably be restricted to flying within 60 minutes (about 450 miles) of land. For Cancun the "180 minute rule" is usually used which means they are able to fly up to 180 minutes (about 1100miles) from an airfield which is suitable for landing their particular aircraft

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

busdriver,

I've heard the Canaries will be used for that initially. The 787 is expected without a premium cabin due to there not being any relaxation in the Air Passenger Duty so it's likely to be introduced on the high density lower premium routes once in long haul service such as Sanford and Dominican Republic, but that's to be confirmed.

TOM are an established ETOPS operator and the aircraft should come ETOPS certified so I would have thought introduction in to their long haul schedule wouldn't take that long. It's expected in long haul service in Feb 2011.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Darren,Do you know which aircraft Thomson will be using on the Newcastle - Rhodes route on May 11th?
Tom 1376 out and Tom 1377 return.
I am hoping it is not changed to a Thomas Cook flight at the last minute. :rofl

TCX have subchartered most of their flights from NCL to Mint and Astraeus (Rhodes flight) so it wouldn't be TCX even if they did!

Service is generally excellent. You'll get a couple of drinks rounds, meal service (if opted for) and duty free plus IFE via mainscreen.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Thanks Darren,I was hoping it would be on a 757-800 but after travelling with Thomas Cook 3 times since October I am getting used to being cramped in my seat.
