Thanks Darren, you're a star!

Many thanks for the prompt reply Darren. I'll be sure to post and let everyone know how the flight went when I get back.

Hi Darren,
Thanks for the screenshots - have they standardised the IFE now accross the fleet? From memory ex-TOM was touchscreen and ex-FCA was slightly older and used a remote. I'm assuming that you were on ex-FCA going to CUN but doesn't look like what I remember on FCA 767s!!
Where did you stay in Cancun/RM?

Hello I was wondering if you knew what plane i will be going on from birmingham to feurteventura 27th October departing 17.10. Is it Thomson or first choice and what sort of aircraft? Thanks in advance x

ami123,

Please quote flight numbers when requesting aircraft information. TOM7360 is operated by a Boeing 737-800 (winglets). Only Thomsonfly operated these. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Darren

thank you Darren x

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew what aircraft thomson will be using on the tunisian enfidha flights from Cardiff next summer, the flight numbers are TOM 0864 (Out) TOM0865 (Rtn) I will be going on the 29th June and returning on the 13th July 2011 from Cardiff.

Any info will be great thanks,

meyrick,

It'll more than likely be a Boeing 737-800.

hello everyone, i've been back a week now from a lovely 2 week trip to cuba and wanted to post a brief review of the flights, which were very good. we flew from manchester on a thomson holiday using a first choice airways 767. the flight was on time to board, on time to depart and from start to finish the whole experience was great. we really enjoyed the premium cabin, if you can book for a reasonable price (we paid £160 each at the time of booking but i believe next year it is now £260 minimum...!) then i would recommend booking it without question, however after taking a peak in the regular cabin, i have to say it looked to be the most spacious charter long haul set up i have ever seen-a really pleasant environment. the staff in the premium cabin were faultless professionals, cheerful, friendly, keen to help and in no way sulky or unenthusiastic during services of food and beverages, they were knowledgable on what they were serving, particularly during duty free services, but i no way pushy or 'sell, sell, sell' the cabin manager was excellent, she was so on the ball and ensured that all other staff knew exactly what they were doing.
seats were super, plent of legroom, wide enough and shaped comfortably with good head supports, the foot rests are brilliant, i didnt realise how such a small desing feature would make such a difference to overall comfort. food was actually quite appertising, with a choice of beef or chicken served with seasoned mash etc and on the return leg we were given a choice of a sunday lunch type chicken and stuffing dish, or beef in ale or mild chicken curry, which i really enjoyed. entertainment is good, all screens were working fully for the entire journey and the noise reduction headphones are a welcome change from the usual evil little plastic ear bud ones! drinks service was frequent and there was a good selection, even on the return leg, fortunately no one in our cabin abused this despite drinks being included, all in all a great flying experince and i would really recommend thomson longhaul, despite being consistently more expensive than thomas cook

Ok thanks Darren, I thought that it might be too early to ask yet,
I will check with you again about a month before I travel to see if anything has changed.

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum. From what I've read so far it is very informative and very useful.

My query concerns Thomson flights to Sharm el Sheik, on 19th December, 2010, from Manchester. Thanks entirely to this site the confusion caused me by Thomson has been resolved. The booking form showed flights TOM 546/7, but an earlier post on here corrected these to TOM 278/9. Which flightstats.com show details of.

As we can't pre-book the seats till after 20th October, I'd appreciate knowing what aircraft it will be, and the seating plan. Will the return flight, on 2nd January, 2011, be the same machine? I'd also like to know which seats have restricted window views, lack of recline, etc.

Regards and thanks to all,
Richard

dickyt,

Welcome onboard
Your flights should be operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find lots of aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). Seating is personal preference. All have recline other than back rows. Approx rows 11, 15/16 don't have window views.

Darren

Thanks, Darren!

Richard

Hi Darren

We're off to Punta Cana on Sat, 9th Oct departing from Manchester on TOM 126, I presume it's not an ex FCA 767 as there were only a few rows of premium seats available to select our seats from.

Any idea of which aircraft it will be?

Will the IFE be like the photos you posted on your trip from Cancun?

Thanks in advance

peteukmcr,

Your flight TOM126 will be operated by an ex Thomsonfly Boeing 767-300. More specifically it will be G-OBYJ.

The IFE will be like the photos Darren provided in his earlier post

More information as ever on our What Aircraft? Guide (link in my signature)

Gower, many thanks for your fast reply, much appreciated.

Okay, my apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I'm turning into a bit of an anorak...

I've been looking at the recent flights to MLE - and they are usually flown by an ex-FCA aircraft. The seats that I've booked are also for the FCA configuration, however, I notice that TOM054 is being flown by G-OBYG this evening, which I believe if an ex-TFly plane.

Are any of the old TFly planes still in the long-haul configuration, or have they been converted back to short/medium haul configuration? I know the chances of being on one in 3 weeks time is small, but the thought of 11+ hours cramped in with little legroom is not too appealing!

What reg no's of the TFly 767's are short haul, and what are long haul configs? And apart from the seat pitch, what other differences are there? Do any have seatback IFE or are they aisle screens etc etc. (I think I'm developing OCD )

Ex Thomsonfly long haul have 33" seat pitch in economy and 37" in premium. They have seat back IFE throughout with on demand in premium. Seating 2-4-2 in economy 2-3-2 in premium.

Have a look at the Which Aircraft thread. There is a link to it in Gowers post which is next but one above yours.
