martin82,
Welcome onboard
LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM074/5) are operated by an ex-FCA Boeing 767-300/ER. Refer to our What Aircraft? thread for more details. Seating is personal preference; all the seats in the premium cabin are nice although those with longer legs may not like row 1 as the bulkhead restricts long legs from being strched out!
Darren
Many thanks for prompt response. Glad to hear it's an ex First Choice 767 as I think the seats are just slightly wider!
Cheers,
Martin82
I wouldn't like to put a measurement on it, but slightly is the operative word in the economy seats! You do have more elbow room though on the ex-FCA's. In premium, there's no difference as both variations of 763's are 2-3-2 with the same seats.

Andreajr,
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you ever sleep!!
I know this may be answered somewhere??? sorry if it is! i've booked flights to cancun on the 7th june returning two weeks later. i've booked premium, and i've had several different answers from the thomson travel agent as to which type of plane and wether you can pre book seats in premium, can anyone help?
sorry forgot to say it is out of manchester!
Welcome onboard
You'll find lots of information on these pages. MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM144/5) are operated by an ex-First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find further aircraft details on our What Aircraft? thread. You'll be able to pre-book seats from May. If you give Thomson Airways a call 6 weeks before your departure date, you'll be able to choose which ones you want.
Darren
many thanks, your allot more help than the shall we say less than helpfull staff in the thomson travel shop in newcastle...
cheers mate
I kind of assumed the seats wouldn't be that different - and the aisles would be narrower - am I being quite naive?!
I've done FCA a few times - can't say large overweight me with little baby on lap is looking forward to the TOM seats!
I phoned them over the weekend - apparently not a single seat on our outbound flight has been specifically reserved!
Don't know wheather to take a chance on getting a window/aisle or pay the extra - or even the quoted £110 ish per person for the one way Premium upgrade that is available (which apparently will only become available to book 7 days before the flight).
Decisions decisions!
There's not a lot in it really. The seats are marginally wider on the ex-FCA's and you do get a bit more elbow room. The isle is a little narrower on the ex-TOM's.

It is very interesting, however, I couldn't hear what the people on the videos were saying because of the background music. I will go onto youtube to watch them there.

I was finally able to select a seat for my Manchester to Luxor flight (tom668) on 6th May. It's available to book for all holidays departing up to 19th May.
The only downside is that after reading the Thomson Cargo Website the plane was shown as a 767-300 but when booking the seats the woman @ Thomsons said it was a 757, not really the comfiest for a 6 hour flight
