Deana,

It'll probably be the standby aircraft if you've been told there will be a substituted aircraft with no premium, Tuifly Nordic Boeing 767-300/ER. It has the short haul configuration. Enjoy your extra day in the Caribbean.

All the Thomson site is saying is that the outbound flight is delayed for 24 hours due to the Tropical Storm Chantal -no info on substitute plane....but apparently you didn't see the storm anyway!!

Just looking to see if deana is on her way home finally when I noticed that TOM 126 MAN-SFB(Dreamliner) has turned back to Manchester -Hope its not a technical issue.

Currently in a holding pattern North East of Anglesea, probably burning off fuel for landing weight. At least it can't be serious or they'd come straight in.

Can I ask that we stay on topic please. Any 787-8 Dreamliner discussion, unless specific to Thomson Airways, should be posted on the Dreamliner topic.

TOM126 (G-TUIC) mentioned above air-returned due to a technical problem (thought to have been an electrical problem) landing without further incident after burning off fuel.

Thanks,

Darren

Rodgerdodger,

I'm on my mobile at the moment so can't post links, but there's a dedicated Dreamliner topic on the flights forum if you run a search. Until investigations have been completed and released, there's nothing to suggest there's a problem at the moment. I'm sure Thomson Airways will be informed and take the necessary action, should any be needed. I'll post information on the Dreamliner topic if there's anything to add.

EDIT: The Dreamliner topic is here

Back home at last!! Thanks everyone. Not as bad as expected the gave us 2 seats each in the 2-4-2 but blimey my backs sore and 28 pitch is tight. At lease no one reclined into anyone else. New premium menu is nice as well. Cheers

qatarman,

I suspected as much. It was a flaps problem with G-CPEV on 22nd June that reoccurred on 23rd June. Nothing too major.

Hi Darren,

We are flying to Cancun from Manchester TOM144 on Sat 20th July, is it too early to know which plane it is going to be. it was G-TUIC this Sat, do you know if it is likely to be G-TUIC again on 20th. Also do you know what the problem was with G-TUIC on its flight to Sanford on Friday.

Thanks,

Chris.

Chriskim,

Aircraft are rotated regularly so its impossible to know this far in advance which it will be. I'll normally know the day before. I posted the problem with G-TUIC in my post near the top of this page. It was just an electrical issue, nothing too major and certainly nothing to worry about. The aircraft was repaired and resumed flights on Saturday morning, as it happens on the flight you'll be on. All aircraft, including new ones have technical issues from time to time.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for your quick reply as always. I am looking forward to flying on the dreamliner, whichever one it may be A,B or C.
Just one more question, do you know why G-TUIB is called "Alfie" it doesn't really fit with the other 2 names "Living the Dream" and "Dream Maker", just curious.

Thanks again

Chris
