BHX-ABD-BHX (TOM516/7) should be operated by Boeing 757-200 as maddave25 mentions. You'll find extensive aircraft information including seat plans and aircraft / cabin photos on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

LGW-MLE-LGW (TOM054/5) are operated by former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). There are no 'best' seats really as all offer the same basic facilities, it's just whether you prefer a window, isle or centre seat at the front or back really. There are cabin and seat photos if you click on the aircraft type on the guide to give you an idea of what to expect. The only ones I'd avoid are the ones close to toilets and the galley if you find the movement of passengers and crew distracting. Other than that, it makes little difference.

Enjoy the Maldives you lucky thing. I'm in the process of planning my third visit for later this year. It's a magical place.

Perfect thanks Darren :)

Trip booked today....5 weeks to go. Squeal. Looking forward to our return visit to paradise :D :sun2 :cheers

Hi Darren
I can see Thomsons are now selling their 757 extra legroom rows to Egypt and Cape Verde. Is it just the extra legroom rows they've put in, because I've just been told someone had a call from Thomsons to say they'd increased the pitch on all seats to 31" and 34" for the extra legroom? Do you know if this is correct?
Thanks

Sunaddict,

Details are on our What Aircraft? guide about the changes to some of the 757-200 fleet.

Hi Darren,
Time for my annual question. :sun2 Im probably a little early and i know thomson are probably still shuffling aircraft about due to the 787 issue. But any idea on our aircraft?
bhx to dlm, tom 414/5 on 20th july?

Also, we were on this same flight last year but tom414/5 became tom654/5 at the airport, any idea why? Maybe it will change again this year! :think Only wandering as i have given out my flight number to a private transfer company and hope it stays as tom414/5 this year for that reason. I will keep an eye out on flightradar24 when the flight starts on 4th May.

Thanks in advance ... Chris

chrisweaving,

BHX-DLM-BHX (TOM414/5) should be operated by Boeing 757-200. The flight numbers are listed as TOM414/5 at the moment. Why they were changed at last minute on your flights last year, you'll have to ask Thomson. If your taxi know you're coming in from Dalaman on Thomson, I'm sure he'll work out which is your flight if numbers do change as it's the only Thomson flight arriving from Dalaman that day.

Flight numbers usually changed to avoid confusion with another aircraft operating the same or similar route.

Hi there

This is a long shot but I am trying to find some information about the 767's that Thomson are now using on their short haul routes. I'm trying to find out which rows on the left side of the plane have a full window seat for an anxious passenger. I've spent a lot of time on the net trying to find a seating plan or any info/pictures that can help but have found nothing.

Can anyone help with this?

Many thanks in advance

if you scroll to the top of the airlines forum page you will find the Waht aircraft thread this contains links to all the seating plans

if you post your flight details [date number dept airport] one of the boys may be able to narrow down the type for you

CWL-SSH-CWL (TOM466/7) are operated by Boeing 737-800. There's no IFE onboard these aircraft. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our what Aircraft? guide (link below).


Darren, just realized I ommited to thank you for the info, so a belated thank you :tup

We got back yesterday and I have to say it was a pretty comfy flight on a clean, modern plane, with ample leg room.

shirley h,

No worries, glad you had a great time. The 738's aren't bad are they, pretty comfortable for the short - medium haul flights they do.

LU1,

As Wizard mentions, we have one linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below) that also have extensive aircraft information. It's the short haul 328 seat version you want, not one of the long haul. Bear in mind Thomson will also have a Jetairfly 767-300/ER in the fleet for the next couple of monts at least that's covering due to the 787-8 delays so there may be a slight variation. Other than a couple of rows, most seats have a clear view out ouf the window on the 763. I can't say X row has a full window as there is too much variation due to the nature of aircraft seating. If you avoid the rear of the front cabin and the first 6 rows in the 2nd cabin, you'll have a view out of the window in the other seats. Are you sure it's a 767-300/ER you're travelling on? If you let us have your flight details, especially flight number, I'll check the aircraft schedule for you.

Hi

What plane is due to service TOM 145 Cancun to Manchester on the 13th July 2013.
I've just been on to pick my seats and it's showing a 3-3-3 configuration?

Imbrugliasboy,

MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM144/5) are currently scheduled to be operated by the new Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). However, this all depends if the aircraft are delivered before the end of this month. At the moment, it's looking very unlikely so there's a reasonable chance the aircraft will be changed to a Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll be contacted by Thomson if/when the aircraft is changed to notify you. At the moment, by all means choose your seat with the current seat plan. But be aware, it's likely to change.

Hi,

I hope that someone can help me :)

I am flying out to Orlando, Sanford from Manchester with Thomson Airways on Thurs 25th April. The aircraft is scheduled to be a Boeing 767, however, does anyone know if it will be ex-FCA or a Thomson aircraft? I return a week later, Thurs 2nd May and this flight was scheduled to be operated by a Boeing 787 - no chance of that. Again does anyone know if it will be an ex-FCA or Thomson aircraft that will replace it?

Thanks in advance.

MRT320,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft aircraft information. There are several flights. This ensures we get the correct details for you. I assumer you're on the TOM104/186? These should be operated by former Thomsonfly Boeing 767-300/ER (long haul) due to the increased number of passengers expected on the 787-8.

TOM104 outbound and TOM187 inbound. We are flying Premium. What is Premium like on the Thomsonfly 767s?

Thanks :)
