Hi Darren,

We are flying to Sanford from Gatwick 16th April - 30 April TOM070/71 on the Dreamliner. Can you advise if there any restrictions with Seats 23 ABC & 24 ABC? First time on one so want to pick the best seats available.

Cheers

Gav :)

gbailey141,

What do you mean by restrictions? There are none that I am aware of being standard economy seats.

Sorry Darren maybe I didn't explain..I have heard some only have 33" pitch and some don't have windows...

Thanks for your quick response tho.

gbailey141,

All that information is on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Only row 37 doesn't have a window. 'Only' 33" seat pitch is still more than you'll get with many of the scheduled carriers and is more than enough for most. The rows you've selected are standard seats with 34" seat pitch.

TCX_Flyer,

MAN-IBZ-MAN (TOM2666/7?) are normally be operated by Boeing 767-300/ER (short haul).

Cheers Darren, I gathered it would be that or the Dreamliner due to the longer turnaround.

787-8 are only used on long haul.

pat,

LGW-KVA-LGW (TOM4428/9) should be operated by Boeing 757-200, but I can confirm it closer to the time.

Hi Darren, can you tell me which aircraft we will have
TOM 867 CUN- NCL Apr 22nd. Looks like an ex Thomsonfly. Any reason why they use this rather than the ex FCA that we came in on? Just curious.
Thanks
Angela.

Thomson Airways are to provide complementary drinks in both classes from November 1st and increase their IFE offering substantially to align their long haul product with both Virgin Atlantic and British Airways holidays.

It's been a long time comming.

New service will be offered from November 1st 2014

seedy2,

It's probably the transition between the seasons and aircraft maintenance. It makes little difference really, both are comfortable aircraft although many prefer the 7 abreast seating over the 8 abreast. It's still the same IFE and seat pitch though. Don't worry about that, just enjoy your holiday!

But there are less Premium seats on the ex Thomsonfly -so there will be some unhappy passengers on the return (unless Thomson told them in advance)

Thanks Darren.

Brewerdave,
I had these thoughts too. Hopefully, I'll keep my seats. I have booked 2AB.

seedy2, we flew out to Dominican Republic last year ex firstchoice in seats 3FG.
same seats booked for return flight. the night before we were due to fly home we were informed the plane had been changed and there would be no premium seats at all.
when we got to the airport we found out we were flying home on Thomson plane, we got to sit in premium seats we had booked, but anyone booked in seat rows 6-9 were seated in economy,
there was some very unhappy passengers even more so when the inflight entertainment worked for some and not others
