gurda,

We can't provide one I'm afraid for copyright reasons. The aircraft is configured 2-3-2 throughout that makes it a little simpler. I've posted some cabin photos, linked from the What Aircraft? guide to give you an idea of what the cabin looks like. Rows 1-9 are in the forward cabin and is premium seating only. Row 11 to the rear, 38 from memory are economy seats. There isn't a best seat really as it's very much personal preference. Around rows 12 and 14 there are a couple of rows with no windows where the air conditioning and cabling is routes. The wing is from approx row 16 to 25 so behind that you'll have unobstructed views. If you need any more info, let us know.

Hi all,

Could anybody tell me if there are any restrictions on using camcorders to record take-off/landings?

Thanks

Can anyone tell me where the first choice aircraft from cancun into bristol this morning was meant to go afterwards because this aircraft is delayed by 25 hours.

Thanks so much.

AirQuake,

Welcome onboard :tup
Electronic equipment including videocameras should not be used on take off or landing. This isn't necassarily due to interference, its due to items becoming projectiles in the event of a rejected take off for example and your attention being on other things than your surroundings. I must admit I'm guilty in sometimes using cameras during take off / landing, but they shouldn't strictly be used.

anyone give me an idea what the overall space is like between the seat and seat in front in a FC plance - Premium. we had pre-booked row 1 as our son has medical needs and needs a full carry-on only for them to phone today and say they had made a mistake 1. being they had given these seats to someone else and 2. they as in thomson dont do medical seats/requests :( even though we had paid they said they had mistakingly booked us on what would have been a manchester flight :que

they are now offering us row 2 but can't think how we are going to lift our completely paralised son into the middle seat of a row hence me wondering if anyone knew if there was room for us to maneouve to get him in.

we have only ever flown thomas cook and they were so helpful and did have medical seats .

ADDC,

Seat pitch is 36" in premium, 3" more than economy seating. I've only had experience aiding paralised people with plenty of room around, but I should imagine it'll be fine in non-bulkhead seats as there's enough space to menouver although as the arm rests are fixed as it's where the tray tables are stored, you can't retract them making it a little more awkward. I'm sure you'll be assisted though and all will be fine. Thomson / First Choice have always allocated medical seats in the past when available, I wasn't aware there was a change.

EDIT: typo

On a recent trip in premium we saw 2 adult men being carried into the cabin and placed in seats mid-row, they did not seem to have too much of an issue with space, you can definitely stand up infront of your seats so access should not be too bad. Have you thought about requesting last row of premium, then you wont have to worry about blocking the aisle if you want to get out of your seat and change around??? Anyhow hope you have a lovely hol x :cheers

Hi,

Just to say may thanks for your help in the past, much appreciated.

Can I just ask another question?

We are flying out from Gatwick to Hurghada on 14th Aug (TOM811 1.50pm) I believe the aircraft will be a 757. Is there a possibility that it may be changed to a 767.

Regards,
Pat

LGW-HRG-LGW (TOM811/2) is still operating as a Boeing 757-200.

TA just of the phone and they wont give us row 1 even though it was their error, you would think with us have the medical problems the other booking would get moved but they will only give us row 4 . trying hard not to panic to be honest.

thanks that makes me feel bit better. our son cant move (he is completely paralised) at all so once he is in the seat that will be him for the duration of the flight but we like to stretch his legs and arms because of DVT's so unsure if there will be room for this. they have allocated row 4

Hi there,
I hope I'm on the right discussion thread (there are so many). I'm just wondering what the aircraft type would be for a MAN-CFU Thomson flight, departing 0635 (sorry I can't seem to find a flight number anywhere). The return flight is 2200 CFU - MAN... will that be the same aircraft?

I'm crossing my fingers that it's a GOBY number with long haul config! If so I'll spend the £50 to pre-select my seats. I did this on my last trip to SSH and it worked a treat

Thanks in advance for your help

We never ordered meals for our flight from newcastle to bodrum next week, however i have heard stories about where people have been given a meal and not ordered one. How do they check? It doesnt say we have meals on our ticket but then again it does'nt say we dont have them.

Could we be lucky?? :tongue

clarewalkers,
MAN - CFU departing at 06:40AM flight TOM2518 is not going to be operated on a 767-300 from the information I have in front of me. My information tells me the flight will be operated on a Boeing 737-800.

There are two flights operated on a 767-300 to CFU which are Flights
TOM2120
and
TOM2564

As for the return leg
TOM2519 will be a Boeing 737-800 also.

More information can be found about the aircraft on What Aircraft Guide

clarewalkers,

No chance of a long haul configured 767 on your flight I'm afraid since you're on a short haul destination. As z.j.c menions, TOM2518/9 are operated by a Boeing 737-800 (winglets). My trip reports are on the What Aircraft? guide linked above for more information.
