Next year Thomsonfly will not be flying to Goa at all however First choice will be. Although we are one group, it will be a First choice A/C not a Thomsonfly one. This has been confirmed to me by the Thomson GOA area manager. First Choice will have five aircraft/flights per week from various airports.
The reason for the descrepancy showing no First choice holiday is because although it is a First choice plane, Thomson (the holiday company) have chartered the whole aircraft for their holiday makers sole use - a bit like Thomson do now with Thomsonfly.
The reasoning behind this is because First Choice have been going into Goa for some years and historically have better "slots" (landing times to you and me) and it is thought that these will be more attractive, for some reason Goa airport will not at this point allow the swapping of the slots. hope this helps
If you go on the
http://www.thomsonfly.com website and search for the flights, any flight with a code FCAXXXX will be on a First choice a/c and any with a TOMXXXX will be on a blue plane... basically...
