Hi all,

Can anybody tell me what plane I will be travelling on to mexico, I fly with First Choice from Manchester? Is it the largest in First Choices fleet?

I go 9th June - is it seat formation 2 - 4 -2?

Thanks in advance

yes it is the largest plane in the fleet - a boeing 767-300.

Seat configuration is 2-3-2.

erincc,

Flight nos are Outbound: FCA 8602 11/08/2007 ex Dublin
Return : FCA 8603 25/08/2007 ex Palma

Your flight isn't listed on the schedule and ACARS coverage in Ireland isn't extensive so there are no logs. It'll either be an Airbus A320-200 or Boeing 757-200. Both have the same 3-3 seating configuration with 28" seat pitch.

Thanks Darren

just back from dalaman to gatwick, very turbulent flight glad to be back on the ground...well done to the pilot and crew. we booked premium seats and they were great..plane was an A321 and we had row 1 seats c,d,e,f going out.....my 8 year old even had a sleep on the floor as there was so much leg room, also didnt feel guilty about reclining as so much room. There is a panel/dividing wall between row one and the galley area.However in row 1 you have people invading your space as they queue for the toilet, as in sitting on the arm of your chair.! Also in row 1 you are unable to lift your armrests up, they are fixed and your tables are folded inside them. Sat in row 4 on our return, this is the last row of premium, think i preferred it as you were able to stretch your legs further under the seat in front, and no problem when the people infront recline still loads of room.Didnt realise until half way through the flight that my table extended nearer to me !!!
The films being shown were casino royale or eragon outbound and music and lyrics or charlottes web inbound.

Thanks Tracy

I arrived back yesterday from Reus, both outbound and inbound were on a 757 which was unexpected, good flights.

Hiya is anybody able to advise which films will be shown on flight from Gatwick to Sharm el Sheikh during June?
Thanks for you help

Hi

I am flying with first choice on saturday (9th june) in premier start class, I just wondered if anyone knows if you can pre-book the exit seats in premier star class and does this give you any extra leg room... From the pictures i have seen it looks like there is a partition in front of the exit anyway?

Thanks in advance

loulou30,

It depends where you are flying to as to which aircraft type you're on; long haul are Boeing 767-300ER, short haul A321-200. Star Class Premier on the 763's is very spacious as it is (36" seat pitch). There is a bulkhead in front of row 1, but since this is a walk way there's loads of room. However, since these are medical seats, I don't think they can be pre-booked. In any case, you may find that they aren't the best seats to have since cabin crew and other passengers will be on the move in the walk way going to the toilet etc so not for me. Same on the A321 really. I pretty much agree with everything that tracytreacle1 said in her post above.

Hi again

Thanks for the Info, we are flying to mexico.. but i guess we will just take it as it come as far as the seats go..
Cheers
Louise

I am flying to Sanford Florida next month and Ive just looked on Manchester airport information and saw that that flight is down to be operated by a 757, I sincerely hope that this is not true as I have booked
Star Class Premier and assumed it would be operated by the 767-300, any info to the contrary would be appreciated. Its FCA118.

jaxter,

I wouldn't worry, the information is often wrong. I don't know why, but most of the long haul FCA flights show up as a 757 on flight schedules. Very strange. Anyway, it'll be a 767-300ER. If worst comes to the worst and they have aircraft go tech, they have sent a couple of 752's to cover the flight but thats rare. They now have 6x 763's in their fleet so they have more than enough aircraft to cover.

Darren

Thanks for the quick reply Dazbo, Im starting to get a bit anxious now because I hate flying and was in some funny way looking forward to the Star Class service. It would just flatten me if we were not on the bigger plane.
Cheers.

jaxter,

This is the ACARS log for FCA118 over the last month:

2nd June: G-OOBK (Boeing 767-324/ER)
26th May: G-OOBL (Boeing 767-324/ER)
19th May: G-PJLO (Boeing 767-35E/ER)
12th May: G-OOBK (Boeing 767-324/ER)
5th May: G-OOAN (Boeing 767-39H/ER)

Don't worry, just sit back in the the comfy leather seats and enjoy a glass of bucks fizz as you taxi over to the runway
Darren

While Im on the subject of flying, does anyone know what films are being shown longhaul in July, First Choice seems to have "lost" the movie guide from their site. Thanks

I find it strange that some FCA flights are listed as B752's when clearly they are not, Montego Bay is another example. I can only presume someone has made a mistake at some point.

FCA060 on July 9 to Costa Rica - any idea which aircraft?
