I'm flying Manchester to Punta Cana on 29 July, TOM 126.
Could you possibly advise the flight that the incoming plane is scheduled to operate so that I can keep my eye on whether mine is likely to be on time?

Many thanks.

Meva,
If you have been told before it would be an ex First Choice then it still will do as there has been no change in the flights to Florida this year.
I don't have any records for the flights so I can not confirm this but im sure someone else will help you if this information is not good enough.
The only way it could be changed is if they wanted extra seats on the route in which case they would change it too a ex Thomson for the few extra seats.

After the 15/7 there will be more information available as this is when the flight begins operation.

Hi Daz1971,

We are not flying long haul (Egypt) and no premium cabin available a it wil be a 757 (3x3 configuration)

I'm sure somebody on here will be able to advise you on best seats on a 767.

Sorry I can't help.

Dazbo,

Off to Sharm from Gatwick on 5th Oct on TOM625 (I think), departing 1345.

What aircraft type will we be on? 757 or 767?

Cheers,

TOM652
LGW - SSH
Will be operated on a Boeing 767-300 which has been operated over the last few weeks by a EX Thomsonfly 767 (G-OBYE) this could change as your flight is late on in the summer so there may be aircraft adjustments
More information can be found about the aircraft on What Aircraft Guide

LGW-SFB-LGW (TOM052/3) commence on 15/07/2009 so I can't check yet, but they are scheduled to be operated by a former FCA aircraft according to the list I have.

The incoming flight for TOM126 should be TOM122/3 from Puerto Plata.

As z.j.c mentions, your flights are operated by a former Thomsonfly Boeing 767-304/ER (328Y short haul).

Hi all,

We booked a last minute holiday to ibiza on saturday for the 1st of july, the thomson agent said that the booking didnt showed up as tickets on departure, therefore they would be delivered to the shop. Anyhow the agent called me today to say that it would now be tickets on departure and we needed to collect a voucher from them in order for us to collect our tickets at manchester. There has been no mention of a charge for this (which i believe is £15 per person) do think we will get charged either when we collect the voucher or the tickets?.

Thanks guys, I might pop back then and ask again if that's ok. I may book seats if it's an ex Thomson plane.

Hi, i am looking for info regarding which aircraft type i will be on, like everybody else asks, will it be ex FCA, been twice in premium with the ex Thomson and it appears the ex FCA will be almost identical in economy compared to the Thomson premium.

September 5th 2009
Outbound - LGW - Cun - 9.20 AM i think
Inbound - Cun - LGW no idea on time

I recall the flight been TOM078 but need to check.

Many thanks.

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM078/9) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. Economy isn't quite as posh as premium on the former Thomsonfly with 33" seat pitch compared to 37", but they have the same 2-3-2 seating configuration. You'll find more aircraft details on our What Aircraft? guide.

Any info on why TOM126 Man-Puj was over 2 hours late leaving today?

Govan Jaggie,

The incoming aircraft arrived on-time (only 10 minutes late anyway!) so it was probably a minor technical problem, ground handing delay or ATC. These things happen from time to time. It's not to say your flight will suffer any delay.

Hi There,

As always, find this site extremely informative and consult it often.

Now I have a query, flown Long Haul with Thomsons last four times on the same planes. Premium cabin was always 5 rows.

Have rung up to pre-book seats for Premium cabin, wanted the last row as we have friends travelling in economy, and have been given row 9????

I can't find any seat configurations that have 9 rows in Premium???

Anyone got one??

Flight details are

We fliy with Thomson Airways,
Manchester, UK to Cancun
Tuesday 21st July 2009
Flight number TOM196 1030hrs due to arrive CUN at 1500 hrs

Return
Thomson Airways
Cancun to Manchester, UK
Tuesday 4th August 2009
Flight number TOM197 due to depart CUN at 1650 hrs

Thanks anyone.

You will be on an Ex First Choice plane as they have 9 rows in Premium.
