Yes you do have the option of choosing seat numbers, you can currently book specific seats 6 weeks prior to departure. You can do this by phoning Thomson Airways.

Hi,

We fly out to Hurghada in August. Upon phoning Thomson to try and bbok the seat numbers I was told back in March 8 weeks before, then 2 weeks ago I was told 6 weeks before, and then last week I was told 4 weeks before ... somebody can't make their mind up!!

Regards,
Pat

Read my earlier post on this subject,Thomson make a fair packet out of keeping you on the phone thats why the service will never be available online.It seems to me that they still havent got their act together with First Choice being bought out.I fly Qatar to LHR 3 September and return Manchester 27th September booked the seat number at the time of booking the flights on the 4th of April.

I Wondered What The Registration Of My Aircraft Is And What Type Of Aircraft It Is.

Its The TOM6144 On 18th May Cardiff-LasPalmas And The TOM6145 On The 25th May LasPalmas-Cardiff.


At the moment G-CPEU is based at CWL. This year at CWL the 757 is Ex FCA, with TOM 737-800.
Also CWL will see FCA 757's with winglets for the rest of the season.

Hi all

Been reading about booking seats. Wanted to get myself some A/B seats for a trip to Skiathos in June. I read it was possible 6 weeks before departure for £5 each per flight (im 5 weeks away).

Just got off the phone - i was told it is allowed within 4 weeks, and ONLY if you first pay to have seats together. Is this correct? Makes it rather more than £5...

Cheers

They keep changing their minds about when you can pre-select seats! It was 6 weeks to begin with but now down to 4 weeks it seems. I don't see why you have to pre-book seating together before you can select your seats, but that's the way it is.

can someone tell me please if the thomson aircraft based in bristol throughout the summer are the same aircraft all summer or if the aircraft could get rotated and might be different registrations.

if it is the same aircraft and they dont get rotated does anyone know the registrations and if they have winglets.

Also if they are ex thomsonfly or ex first choice birds.

Thank you very much.

The Aircraft Get Rotated Regulaly,
Currently G-OOBI and G-CPEP Are There, Both Former FCA Aircraft.

Bristol Has Not Got Any Flights Scheduled To Be Operated By Wingletted Aircraft

Im assuming they rotate them weekly, Do you know why they do this?? shame there are not any with winglets. Also sorry for the million and one questions but when are all these aircraft going to be re-painted.

Thanks Alot

D3ANO,

No Need To Appologise For The Questions, Thats Why We Are Here

It Is Not As Clear As A Weekly Rotation, G-OOBI Has Been There A While Now, G-BYAD Was Operating Alongside It Last Week.

They Will Most Probably Get Re-Painted As And When They Go In For Maintenence, This Will Take A While And I Wouldn't Expect Them All To Be Repainted For This Summer Season

Hi rm2242,

We are flying out to Hurghada in August. Have paid £50 each for exit seats, but will have to pay another £10 each to guarantee our seats together .... when we can eventually manage to book them!

Hi, I am now very confused re booking of seats :que . We are flying LGW to Sharm end of July. We originally prebooked seats togethor but then cancelled this as I rang Thomson Airways and they said I could book particular seat nos with no mention of having to have already prebooked our seats togethor. I know I can't do this until 4-6 weeks before departure. I also understood it was £10 per person return but if we have to have prebooked seats togethor is it going to cost more. If anyone could anyone clarify the situation for me I'd really appreciate it :cheers
