Thanks Darren :)

You've told me before about the return flight being a 757. I've checked the flight the last 2 weeks (to see if it was on time!) on the flightstats site and it states the plane is a 737-300.

Do you think it will be replaced with a 757 for when we go in June?

Many thanks

Helen,

Flightstats website cannot be relied on, due to the volume of flights they track they occasionally get things wrong. A flight I was on not so long ago to Aruba was supposedly operated by a A330 - which it definately wasn't Thomson don't have the type in its fleet.

Take everything on flight stats with a pinch of salt.

Hi Darren,

I know I asked this question a few weeks ago but you indicated that the information I requested may change and was not guaranteed at that time? I wanted to find out what type of plane had been allocated for LGW-CAN-LGW (TOM092/093) for 17th June, return 1st July.

Do you know of any updates/comfirmations yet as you originally indicated the flight was to be operated by Thomson 757 :duh and not an FCA 757 :tup (which is our hope because of the space allocation?).

Kind Regards

Bergy,

LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM092/3) are operated by a Boeing 767-300/ER (winglets) from the former First Choice fleet.

Hi Darren,

Can you please re-confirm for me that the arm rests in seat numbers 9C, D and E (rear seats in Premium) on the B767 300ER V2 do not lift up, and there are no windows either side of these seats? It's just that when I phoned Thomson Airlines last week, they told me the arm rests do lift up and there are windows on either side.

Thanks again for your help.

What is the seat pitch on planes from UK to Turkey likely to be? Going this time next year and hubby is 6'2. He coped ok 6 years ago on Easyjet from Luton to Athens which was 4 hours. Next year he'll have 1 of our girls on his lap, girls will be 17 months. There is 6 adults and 5 little ones going, ages will be 1 4.5 year old 1 2.75 years 1 13 months and 2 17 month olds. Thinking that if seat pitch is on the small side, then there might not be room for hubby to have on of our girls on his lap so she'll have to sit on someone elses.

cate_taylor,

Flights are normally operated by the Boeing 757-200/Boeing 737-800 (depending on where you fly from).

Seat pitch on these is the standard 28" seat pitch. Seat pitch on the EasyJet aircraft would have been about 29"

Hello

Please could someone confirm if the LGW/ALC/LGW on 31st Jul will be on a737 300
And if so do the armrests raise, think we are pre booked into row 5.

Much appreciated

Welcome onboard :tup
Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information as there are often several flights per day, eg there are two flights per day on a Saturday from LGW to ALC. LGW-ALC-LGW (assuming TOM4614/5?) are operated by a Boeing 737-300. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Arm rests lift in the middle of the seats as far as I know.

Hi Darren,

Re my post earlier this afternoon ...... can you please re-confirm that the arm rests on B767 300 V2 (seats no 9C D and E) lift up, and there are no windows on either side? Phoned Thomson last week, and was told that arm rests do lift up, and there are windows either side.... bit confused!

Arm rests in the premium cabin of the former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER's don't lift up. This is due to the tray tables folding out of them rather than being on the seat back infront. There are no windows on row 9 of these aircraft. Row 9 is positioned between the CE of Choice on this photo. As you'll see, the window is blanked. It's due to the routing of wiring and air conditioning systems. Arm rests lift in the former Thomsonfly premium cabin as they have the usual seat back tray tables and there is no row 9 (premium) on those as there are only 5 rows in premium.

Thanks for your reply Darren. Sorry, I must have misread your previous reply, as I was under the impression that the food trays only lift out of the arm rests in row 1 in Premium.

Pat
