Hi Guy's

Flying from Glasgow to Cape Verde, 18th September

Outbound - TOM 716 - 18.09.11

Inbound TOM 717 - 02.10.11

Any idea on plane type and IFE

Cheers

Where did you book that lets you pay the balance 8 weeks before the holiday?

My seats were released and I selected both the outbound and inbound on the 3 July and my paperwork said balance was due on the 9th July. however I had already paid my balance on the 4th June.

So technically I could have selected my seats before I paid my balance. Does seem strange though.

Booked with First Choice - holiday is on the 27th October and balance due 1st September.

The current inflight magazine on the website is the Spring issue, when do they change to Summer.

Also are Thomson now issuing amenity packs, they werent on my ladt flight, just wondering if I need to put some essentials together for my flight.

Dunmac25,

Welcome onboard :tup
GLA-SAL-GLA (TOM716/7) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). IFE for September / October is released at the beginning of September. I'll update the list that is linked on the What Aircraft? guide when I get it.

Feebee,

Amenity packs are now in stock. The inflight retail range is updated twice per year. The one linked from our What Aircraft? guide is the current one up to the end of October.

Amenity pack stocks are once again running low. Premium cabin should receive them both ways economy not guaranteed.

I really don't understand how they can be running low again. OK it shouldn't be and isn't a deal breaker but last November the cabin crew lied and said the hadn't been loaded and on the way back they said the same thing. Then we learn it was because of the rebranding, why didn't they just say that. Far easier.

Thomson/FC know how many passengers they have, if they are going to advertise them, they should be supplied or remove them completely. One or the other.

Couldn't agree more with you. Thomson operate the same flights each week throughout the summer season (about 7 Lh per day) so times that by 26 and order that amount of amenity packs.

I'm sure there is some complex reason why it's no ones fault in head office I would love to hear it.

Loved it that much thinking of returning in September. Package has these flights.

Tracy1971,

The aircraft operating TOM196/7 operates to Punta Cana (TOM122/3) before.

Darren the new Thomson Dreamlines are due to be used January (on or about) next year so I assume these will used for long haul only? but when will you be able to book holidays, again assuming for package and then upgrade?, for these flights - do you have any idea?

I do like the look of these don't you. :cheers

There is a bit about the Dreamliner in the 'What aircraft thread'. It says in there they are expected to be doing selected flights from November 2012.

Miss Pink,

Refer to our What Aircraft? guide where I posted latest information about the arrival of the Boeing 787-800's. Further delays mean the first one won't be here until June and won't start long haul until November 2012.
