JoFay,

Welcome onboard

BHX-CUN-BHX (TOM568/9) is operated by a former Thomsonfly Boeing 767-304/ER (long haul / winglets), usually G-OBYD and used to operate via MAN outbound for fuel as the runway at BHX wasn't long enough to allow the aircraft to take-off with sufficuent fuel. However, with the addition of blended winglets to the aircraft, the increased performance allows the flight to operate non-stop now with the required fuel so there's no need for the technical stop.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

jackmax,

Once you have chosen your seats, that's it, they're yours. It's what you have paid for with select your seat. This is unless the aircraft is changed, for example a technical problem.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

JoFay,

It's 90 days before your flight over the phone and 60 days online. It's sometimes a little earlier than this though as it's whenever the flight is uploaded on to the system. It's 101 days before my next flight so not long before I can book mine!

strid,

There are two (as listed). Plus tv programmes.

Thomson only pay the license fee for one movie per flight. If there are lots of little ones it will be the childrens movie. Followed by two tv tapes, with both childrens and adult entertainment.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hello everyone,

My partner and I will be travelling to Santa Clara (Cuba) on the 2 June from gatwick and could not find any information on which aircraft will be flying to this new destination. Does anyone know if it will operate the old first choice aircrafts?

Many thanks in advance,

Olodum01

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

olodum,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. There are often multiple flights. This ensures we get the correct information for you. Long haul flights out of LGW are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. These aren't 'old' aircraft, they are the same fleet age as the former Thomsonfly aircraft. You'll find extensive aircraft infomation on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi, Please can you tell me what plane we'll be flying on so I can check which are the best extra leg room seats with a window to book. We are flying Leeds Bradford to Kos in September on flight TOM 2308. Thanks.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

auntiewee,

Welcome onboard :tup

I'm mobile at the moment so don't have the aircraft schedule to hand. I'll double check in the morning for you' LBA-KGS-LBA are likely to be operated by a Boeing 737-800 or 757-200. Seating is personal preference, there aren't any 'best' seats. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi Darren, Thanks for the speedy reply. I was a little concerned as after paying £80 for extra leg room I read reviews that said only the seats in row 12 had extra leg room & they don't have a window as 2 each side and row 13 sold as extra leg room only truly is in 13A & F. I worry about everything & wanted to be as informed as poss before booking seat numbers!

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

auntiewee,

In that case, you're on a Boeing 757-200. Due to the location of the emergency escape slide, row 12 are in pairs with no A or F seat. As that row is by the door, there is only an obsevation port, ie it's a small window. As the seats are inwards, you can't see out of it. Seats on row 13 are as normal and therefore 13A/F are extra legroom with a window. Other seats on that row are standard. Extra legroom on row 32 are in 3's, but have the same port in the door so don't have good views. It's either a window or extra legroom.

mitchel tipton,

I'm mobile at the moment, but MAN-HOG-MAN (TOM094/5) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER from memory.

EDIT: confirmed

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As

Hi Dazbo,
Looking at booking our seats for August going to Cancun TOM196. Are there any seats/rows we should avoid ie reduced leg room, seats that don't recline & no window?
Looking on the web-site there are not that many seats left!

Thanks Tracy
