pat,

It's way too early to know that plus they swap and change through the season. It makes little difference in any case as it'll be a Boeing 757-200 that are basically the same inside other than the seat design.

Hi Darren,
On the subject of LGW<>SSH flights for S11 - have they all gone 757?
Just phoned up this week to book out seats with everything crossed for a 767 but no luck!!
(TOM632 on 28/5 and 633 on 4/6).
I remember last year the weekend flights were 767s? Never mind!
Kind of hoping the Sensatori doesn't open in time so can get a full refund!!!!!
Cheers.

rhodgreen,

I haven't got the full S11 schedule as yet, but a good proportion of summer services to SSH are 757's. The 76W's are utilised to higher density routes. Egypt is more popular as a winter sun destination than summer (too hot!).

Hi Darren,

Thought it may have been a bit to early to advise!

Reason for asking so early is that I have booked extra legroom seats, and normally fly with FC, booking seats no's 32D, E and F (behind the bulk head). Is the layout of the Thomason 757 aircraft the same as the FC 757 in relation to the extra legrooms seat?

Thanks again,
Pat

pat,

There are 4 varients (used to be 5!) to the 757-200 due to the merger, but the seats you've booked are the same in all of them.

Thanks for your quick reply Darren ... appreciated.

On another note, have you heard anything about Thomson consolidating flights to Sharm and Hurghada?

Thanks again,
Pat

I haven't got the full S11 aircraft schedule as yet so I can't comment on any flight consolidations yet.

barney24,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information, it's a very long list of flights! LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM062/3) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. Aircraft weren't downgraded as such other than an odd flight that was covered by a short haul aircraft due to aircraft maintenance. There are no changes that I'm aware of (you'd have been notified if there were) unless there's a last minute technical issue.

Here is one for you extensive knowledge.
Will be flying to Boa vista from lgw during May and it would appear that the following aircraft is used regularly for this flight TOM590 G-OOBA B757-28A(ET) WL, which version of B757 is OOBA, looking at Thomson seat plan which list B757,v2,v3 to v5, and in which way do these versions differ.

Regards

Even though a particular aircraft is being used at the moment, it doesn't mean it will be in the future as aircraft are rotated, eg for maintenance every so often. G-OOBA is an ex-FCA (now in TOM livery) and I believe is V3. Differences are subtle so it makes little difference, it's just the position of the toilets and a couple of seats.

I am, but I fancied a change from the Boeing 767's, it's been too long since I was last on an A332. Plus, I got a good deal :tup
The aircraft operating your flight (TOM172/3) tomorrow is currently operating to Goa (TOM158/9). You'll be pleased to know it's due in 5 minutes early at the moment, 0025 in the morning ready to operate your flight. G-OOBL is your bird.

Have a great time in Varadero. I quited liked it, the beach is fantastic but it's a little too commercialised for me, not enough 'real' Cuba in Varadero compared to other places. You aren't too far from Havana, you have to visit their, it's a magical city.
