hello
just been looking through the forums and found some information on Tom196 to cancun from Manchester. I am going on this flight tomorrow I was wondering if you know the registration of the aircraft operating the flight and the seating config?

Simon


That would be departing @ 10:30 , its a Thomson Airways B767-300 it has a seating config of :
if flying on an Ex-First Choice aircraft your configuration will be : economy 2-3-2 with 33" seat pitch, Premium Economy 2-3-2 with 36" seat pitch. Seat back IFE throughout. Ex-Thomsonfly aircraft configuration: Economy 2-4-2 with 33" seat pitch, Premium Economy 2-3-2 with 37" seat pitch. Seat back IFE throughout.

Its Not That Easy To Work Out Which Aircrat Is Operating Flights To Cancun At The Moment (They Are Still Trying To Catch Up From The Swine Flue)

However, If They Follow The Same Pattern As Last Week Your Flihgt Should By Operated By G-OBYJ (If Not It Will Probably Be G-OBYI).

Seating Will Be Configured 2-4-2 In Premium And 2-3-2 In Economy

Day before check-in is only available at Gawick


I though I had seen that it was not available in Manchester as well? I had planned to use it in a few weeks. :(

Dazbo5 - thank you for that information :tup As we have already paid for seating together I wonder if they will automatically put us in 2 x 3 with two window seats, would it cost us extra now on top to request window seats? Would be lovely if the seating is like that.

Might give them a call and ask.

marie6319,

To request specific seats, they'd charge everyone in your party £6 per sector. Because you are travelling as a party of 6, the 3 - 3 seating makes it easy for you to be seated. As you've pre-booked, you'll either get a full row or 2x 3's one behind the other. Of course this isn't guaranteed, but the fact you've pre-booked seating together makes it odds on. They won't allow you to request seats as they have the 'select your seat' option and is chargable. I wouldn't worry, you'll get what you want.

Hi

I am aware that additional baggage weight can be purchased in advance on Thomson flights at a discount during the flight booking process, or via the call centre.

Does anyone know the cost of an additional 16 kilos to Cancun Mexico. (do they have a set price per kilo, or does it depend o time of year etc).

thanks

Same answer as the last time you asked.

jonboywirral,

Welcome onboard :tup
I don't have the exact figures on me, but it's about £8 per kg currently. I don't think you can pre-book an extra 16 kg, the most is 10 kg I think. Expect the bill to be around £70 for 10 kg per flight on long haul. More details are on their website.

They will have, but they don't publically release that sort of information. It makes little difference in any case.

Hey,
Just thought that I would leave a message saying TOM196/7 is operating Outbound and Inbound Via Gatwick at the current time.
Just checked on the MAN airport website and TOM197 is shown as arriving at 11:00 from London Gatwick so I phoned Thomson fly and they told me it is going Via Gatwick at moment.

Hey guys,

Dunno if anyone can help but I have booked a Thompsons holiday for 2 to the Maldives;

Gatwick to Male ; 09/08/2009; 18:05 to 08.45. TOM054
Male to Gatwick; 24/08/2009; 10.45 to 17.45 TOM055

I have been told the seat configuration in economy is 2-3-2, is this correct?

Premium economy is £250 per person return which is out of my budget but I am looking at booking seats together and have been told I can also choose specific seats as well (£10extra pp)

Also apparently the extra leg room seats are extra bulk head seats which doesnt sound good!

Question is which specific seats / rows should I choose? Im going to get get 2 seats in the config 2-3-2 but are any rows better than others? eg not near the toilets etc!

Thanks
G

gurda,

Your flights are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. They are indeed configured 2-3-2 throughout. Refer to our What Aircraft? guide for more details. Row 11 extra legroom seats are bulkhead, but the overwing exits (row varies depending on aircraft registration) offer lots of room. Chances are, these will already be booked by now. You can pre-select specific seats by calling the airline. I think it's now £12 return as they increased the price by £1 per sector the other week. Seating is personal preference. Toilets are located at the front and rear of the economy section (row 11 and 37).
