shanti42,

Should be a First Choice 767-300/ER. The flight hasn't changed. The flight numbers have been changed from a First Choice prefix (FCA) to Thomsonfly (TOM) to reflect the change of air operators certificate, part of the merger process. All FCA and TOM flights are now operated under TOM's operating certificate.

You'll need to contact whoever you booked your holiday with.

Just been on Manchester Airport website and flight FCA152 to Cayo Coco departing 11/10/08 is showing a Boeing 757. Was sure it would be a 767. Anyone know if this is true or if been any aircraft change? Thanks

patch64,

Ignore the airports aircraft details, thay are often wrong and out of date! It's a 767-300/ER.

Thanks Darren. I was pretty sure it was a B763. Didn't fancy a trip that far in a 757...not sure they have the range anyway.

Thay can make it ok, just have to stop for fuel once across the pond and before crossing it on the way back. Some airlines use the 757-200 for trans-atlantic services, eg American Airlines, Delta, US Airways and even Thomas Cook to Toronto. They are weight restricted with only 180-7 seats (normally) so much comfier than your standard charter configured aircraft with 235 seats!

Hi, we are off to Jamaica on the 23rd December 08 with Thomson. Originally it was a First Choice flight FCA 0046, I know they have now merged but I would just like to know if it is still the First Choice plane boeing 767-300 that we will be flying in. Thank you :tup

It's still an FCA aircraft operating your flight according to the schedule I have.

shanti42,

BY-TOM-AMM-FCA kindly posted the September / October listing on page 86. This'll give you an idea of the variety available and I'm sure BY-TOM-AMM-FCA will post the November / December listing when it becomes available.
