iankitch,

G-OOBM retires at the end of this month. G-OOBL is remaining on fleet for a bit longer.

Many thanks Dazbo. Didn't want bumping out of extra space seats by change of plane.

Hi Dazbo
We are booked on TOM 168 on 7th Feb 2015 on a P and O Cruise charter to Barbados. Do you have any ideas as yet if it will be Dreamliner? Thanks

iankitch,

It depends what has been asked for. It probably will be, but no guarantees.

Hi Darren

we are flying TOM314 LGW-SSH-LGW on 6th August on the Dreamliner

Can you tell me where the flight arrives in from? It has only been operating for two weeks and was delayed 1hr 30 on its first flight and 3 hours yesterday,

Cheers

Samcal,

Welcome onboard :tup
It should be inbound from Punta Cana (TOM044/5), possibly Aruba (TOM012/3).

Thanks Darren

Hopefully I will be able to track it in now.

Do you know why both flights have been so delayed so far?

Cheers

Samcal,

Delays happen for all sorts of reasons and not always the fault of the airline. They appear to have been late inbound flights.

petaraven,

It's not unusual for aircraft to be swapped at destination in order to rotate them through different airports for maintenance etc.

Anybody know what has happened to TOM049 back from Cancun to Gatwick. Our friends are there and they said the flight has not just been delayed but cancelled.

Hi neavsie,

Not sure if this is the same flight, but have been reading on FB that the flight departing from East Midlands this morning turned back 3hrs into the flight and landed at Manchester. People from this flight have since been put up in the Britannia Hotel overnight and have been told the flight will now depart at 9am tomorrow morning, but not on the Dreamliner.

neavsie,

The aircraft had a technical problem while operating the TOM644 (G-TUIE, hydraulics) and had to air-return to Manchester to have it fixed. This is having onward impacts to other flights on that aircrafts rotation.

TOM048 (G-TUID) arrived in Cancun but the aircraft returned as TOM643 to Edinburgh,so presumably today's outbound aircraft taking the delayed holidaymakers to Cancun will return as TOM049 to LGW. I feel their pain as the same thing happened to us a few years ago en route to DR - we turned back 3 hours into flight and spent the first night of our holiday in the Hilton at Gatwick!!
Wonder if the "cancellation" of TOM049 yesterday was done early enough to allow the Gatwick bound passengers to stay in their original hotels -or were they already en route to Cancun??

They are still in the hotel, enjoying the all inclusive!

Hi Darren,

We are doing STN - RHO TOM5644 next month, which is on a 738.
