ukbill,

BuT all that is personal preference and to a certain extent, perception? The above was in reference to ali781's flights on the 757-200 but every seat has the same basic facilities and seat pitch. Of course there are subtle differences on odd seats, but they are basically the same. For example, seats next to doors can feel a little cooler and sometimes drafty due to lower insulation. Personally, I don't mind these rows as it often feels warm to me on most flights, but this is restricted to extra legroom seating normally and we often advise of this on here when requested. An odd row doesn't have a window or a partial view, but the actual seats are the same which is what we're talking about above. We can advise on rows with no windows if that's essential. Some pull the blinds down as soon as they are seated and aren't fussed about the views. Again, personal preference. On the 767's, passengers are told not to cross the aircraft but some do. That's not a difference in the aircraft, that's just passengers not obaying instructions or thinking about those sat in those seats and we often advise about this if people are asking about extra legroom seats on that type. Again, those that have seats near the toilets, some don't mind it, some do. It's all personal preference. We can't give out specific details of every seat with every request or I'd have to give up full time work just to post replies here! If members want information about specific seats, that's fine but in general terms, actual seats are the same other than 3 or 4 rows on each aircraft.

There's no secret about where food and drink services start. It depends on the aircraft type, but there's one cart at the front and one at the back and they meet in the middle!

Watford Travellers,

Your flight should be coming in from either Montego Bay (TOM024/5) or Sanford (TOM046/7) operated by G-OOBM / G-DBLA respectively. Both are currently showing as ontime. Have a great holiday

Darren

lklaura,

It doesn't matter, it's the same aircraft type.

Darren

thanks darren, all booked now. i can see what you mean by personal preference. i just didn't want anything to reduce legroom even more, thats all i was concerned about.
thanks again
ali

Thanks Darren, that's great... Just about to have a glass of champers at the Sofitel Gatwick, so cheers xx

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....

Seating is personal preference. They all offer the same basic facilities so it makes little difference

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.

Everything I wrote is still valid, unfortunately someone in a tidy up excercise decided to delete a load of pages which included my descriptions of seats. I don't have a copy of what I wrote and don't have the desire to waste my time to help when people delete them after a short while. I had passengers tell me about it and how helpful it was without realising it was me that wrote it, unfortunately someone on here thought otherwise....

No recent posts have been deleted. This is one of our busier topics and is trimmed down occasionally when it reaches a certain size, in response to member requests when they feel it is too large to be user friendly. It currently stretches to 127 pages, which some users still don't like, but that comprises mainly of posts just since last July. Whilst many of the posts prior to that may contain outdated information, some will contain useful info and photos and are retained for future reference just in case anyone needs to search back in time. This previous topic contains Thomson Airways posts for 2009 and the first half of 2010:

Hi,
My parents are due to fly from LGW to Enfidha (NBE) on 26th June for 2 weeks - flight numbers are TOM612 outbound & TOM613 inbound. Please can anyone advise if this will be on a 737 or 757, as my dad would like to check out the seatplan but doesn't want to pay the extra for selecting seat numbers.

Many thanks
Ang
