Darren,

Could you please enlighten me as to where the aircraft is flying in from to Manchester, that will subsequently be utilised to operate TOM 108 to La Romana on the 16 January 2011?

I ask as having looked at the live flight departures from Manchester today, it is shown as being delayed until 13.00, from the scheduled time of 10.15.

We have a connecting flight back to the IOM upon our return, and whilist we have a degree of contingency, I suspect that we would be unable to make it if the magnitude of todays delay was repeated due to its knock on effect on TOM 109.

Once again many thanks for your assistance.

I would prefer it if they just put the same number of Premium seats, and maybe seats in general, in both ex FCA and ex Thomsonfly aircraft. At least that way it would be easier to interchange the planes.

Refer to my post to Brewerdave on exactly that point.

With regards the 20 / 23 kgs luggage allowance for premier seating, I just looked at the confirmation invoice following a booking made on the 26th December and I too noticed just 20 kgs luggage allowance despite upgrading the seats to premium.

I am sure that when booking, it said 23 kgs and having flown premium 3 times in the past couple of years, we always had 23 kgs allowance.

Either that 23 kgs allowance for premium has disappeared or there is some error in their system.

Anyhow, I have emailed them and will post their reply as soon as received.

Thank you.

JasonMack,

Registration or type? MAN-PFO (TOM2730/1) is an Airbus A321-200, and should be G-OOPH.

I just "booked" a trip on the website, when it gave me the flight extras page, premium is still saying 23kg. So they are still advertising that as a benefit.

There has to be some benefits to booking premium.

Bear in mind there is a difference between Thomson Premier bookings, and Premium. Premier are the 4/5 star hotels with package holidays, Premium is the upgrade to the Premium cabin on long haul flights. Premier bookings (holidays) are 20kg hold allowance, Premium are 23kg. Luggage allowances are given on Thomson Airways website.

1150beemer,

Welcome onboard :tup
BHX-CUN-BHX (TOM568/9) are operated by a former Thomsonfly Boeing 767-304/ER (winglets). The flight is non-stop on your dates. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seating is personal preference. Apart from extra legroom seating, all economy seats offer the same seat pitch and facilites. There aren't any 'best' seats.

Malchester,

I've not got the Summer 2010 schedule as yet, I won't get it until about March, but I would assume the same as previously.

liana,

MAN-AYT-MAN (TOM512/3) are operated be an Airbus A320-200. I haven't seen the IFE listing as yet. Your Nintendo DS (with WiFi disabled) can be used apart from at take-off and landing.

liana,

Thomson Airways don't publish their inflight magazine online. You can, however access it via the extras booking section on their website. If you login using your booking reference, you can download the latest copy.
