I am going to Punta Cana on the 11th June, was hoping for a an ex First Choice, with the seats being a bit wider. Looks like we are out of luck.

Hi there

Can anyone tell me what aircraft we will be flying on please? I had booked Premium seats but then removed them as the price had dropped dramatically since booking in September 10....typical

currently sat in seats: 30A & 30B on both flights. Cant find any seat reviews about these seats. Can anyone help?

Hope the flight is good as i originally wanted to fly British Airways or Virgin but the tour operator recommended Thomson, they were only £20 per person cheaper than Virgin !!!

Do you have to purchase headphones to watch IFE or can you use your own IPOD headphones.

Maybe hopefully we can try and get premium seats at Gatwick if they are not sold out lol.

Thanks for any help

alexrennie1,

Your flights are operated by a Boeing 767-300/ER, normally a former First Choice aircraft. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Head phones are complimentory with a set supplied on your outbound flight so keep them for your return. I don't particularly like the supplied in ear ones so take my own. You can use use any head phones (other than wireless) as long as you have a 2 pin adapter. Thomson Airways offer greater seat pitch than BA or Virgin in economy so in terms of room, they're better than the others. I wouldn't worry too much about premium seating. Yes, it's nice but I don't bother with premium seating as the economy seats are just fine.

ekingy,

You will get the correct seat map displayed on the screen when you log in to the system. As BEfreeTODAY mentions, NCL are ex-FCA so you can view other seat maps linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below) along with lots of other aircraft information.

alexrennie1,

Everything is on on What aircraft? guide including a link to the current IFE (March / April) at the moment. This is updated every 2 months so you'll have to wait until May for the listing for your flight. As soon as it's known, I update the link on the guide so keep checking. I got back from PUJ yesterday, have a great time when you go :sun2

Barkes,
BHX-MBJ-BHX (TOM374/5) are operated by a Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).


Thanks, is TOM374/375 an ex First Choice or longhaul Thomson?

I knew you were going to ask that! As your flight doesn't commence until April, I don't know for sure at the moment. It's normally an ex-FCA though.

Thanks, I'll ask again nearer to the departure date.

Any idea whether BHX-MBJ-BHX (TOM374/5) is ex FCA or Thomson yet

Hi, I am flying to Sharm El Sheikh on 1st June 2010. From Manchester on flight TOM894/895.
I was wondering if you have summer flight schedules yet and are able to tell me which type of aircraft is due to operate the flights.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome onboard :tup
I don't have the full S11 schedule as yet, but MAN-SSH-MAN (TOM894/5) should be operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Thanks Darren, I bought a business lounge pass online and they have issued me with a receipt for the one in T2. Looking at the website I thought it was 3. Cheers for the confirmation.

Thank you Darren. I have booked my seats and saw the seating layout was 3-3, so I was able to narrow it down to a 757, 737, A320 or A321.
If ok, may I post again nearer the time to check for definite when you have your full schedules?

jmac,

It's not the A320 / A321. The A321 doesn't have the range with a full passenger load. The 737-800 did 4 flights last summer, the rest were 757's with an odd 767 in the mix (mainly on a Friday and at weekend). I should be getting the S11 schedule any time in the next week or two so I'll check when I get it.

Wednesday flights are - B757
Monday flights are - B737
Friday flights are - B757
Sunday flights are - B757

No B767's this year due to reduced bookings
