Hi,

I have just booked a flight to Cancun departing Friday 10th June, 09.15 TOM062 from Gatwick.

Do you know what plane it will be, presumably 767 but type and if ex FCA?

Also would you know where the plane is coming in from before this flight?

And also our return flight is TOM075 on Tuesday 21st June. Will this be the same plane?

Thanks in anticipation, you guys are so knowledgable!

I know it sounds a silly question but why do so many people want to know where their plane is coming from before they get on it? ar some places more prne to having delays or something? I just thought i'd ask.

It's just so you know if you can expect a delay or not. It won't make any difference to when you check-in as even with a delay of several hours, you need to check-in at the scheduled time, but it's just about information and knowing if things are on time or not. Delays can happen for any number of reasons. Nowhere is more prone to anywhere else.

LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM062/75) are operated by an ex-FCA Boeing 767-300/ER. The aircraft should come in from Cancun (TOM093).

MAN-PFO-MAN (TOM2730/1) are operated by a Boeing 767-304/ER (short haul / winglets). You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Seating is personal preference. They all offer the same basic facilities so it makes little difference, it's whatever you prefer.

thankyou, just didn't know if any seats had big "lumps" in your feet area!

ali781,

No, there's no IFE boxes under the seats as the flights are operated by Boeing 757-200.

Sorry Darren, you've helped me and hundreds of other folk in the past on this site, but I do take slight issue with the comment....

I reckon there ARE differences in the seats on aircraft which DOES make some better or worse than others. For example - There's the seat 9A or sometimes seat 11A on some planes - which looks like it might have a window - but sad - you may end up staring at a blank wall for the duration of your flight.

Or there's my pet hate - the 767 long haul central crossover rows. Those rows where the flight crew valiantly try to persuade passengers NOT to cross during flight between sides of the plane - but, of course they do. Clambering over your knees, as you try to sleep.

Or those lovely seats right next to the toilets, where one can listen to musical flushing every two minutes for a nine hour long haul flight, and have folk leaning into your tiny limited space as they queue for the loo.

Or the seats next to the doors - which tend to be really cold on some flights. I've seen Monarch planes with great wads of tissue jammed into the gaps in the ceiling to try to reduce the condensation raining on passengers below.

Or overhead IFE - likely to vanish on many flights over the next twelve months - but there's many times I've got a really stiff neck trying to watch a movie on a screen at an impossible angle.

And of course there's the in-flight service. Despite travelling for many times each year I've still never managed to figure out the top secret system of just how and where they start drinks and food services. According to the Law of Murphy, I always know that on a long haul flight where a "choice" of meal is promised - by the time they reach my seat there will be no choice left - other than "Eat or Don't Eat"

I know that BY-TOM-AMM-FCA- once posted a helpful guide to actual seat conditions - but I've lost the link, and possibly it's become outdated anyhow as planes change.

OK this post is slightly tongue in cheek
- and please do keep helping me and everyone else with great flight information.

But actually I personally do think some seats are really horrible and that's why I really welcome the wonderful new facility of coughing up a few extra pounds to get precisely the seat I want.
And amazingly - it almost always works these days.

I just need to understand the secret system of where in-flight food/drink service starts......
