Are all Gatwick Longhaul Flights ex-FCA planes now?

That's correct. G-OBYI, the only aircraft from the former Thomsonfly fleet still in the long haul configuration is based in Manchester.

Cynical is my middle name,

I've not been issued with the winter aircraft schedule as yet, but I would assume the aircraft will be the same as last year; Boeing 737-800 (winglets).

Hi again,

Thanks for all your help in the past.

Another couple of questions for you.

Re: Monday flight TOM876 from Manchester to Sharm. Can you supply me with aircraft to be used, inflight entertainment and food provided.

Thanks,

MAN-SSH-MAN (TOM876/7) are operated by Boeing 767-304/ER (328Y / short haul). IFE is posted on page 136
(near the bottom) and meal information provided by BY-TOM-AMM-FCA on pages 137/8.

Hi guys,

I'm going away on Sunday to the Maldives and i've booked extra legroom seats which cost £70 each return. From what I can tell, these seats aren't guaranteed together and I can't choose specific seats for my flight?

Can someone confirm whether this is correct?

It's only me and the girlfriend travelling, so we will get to the airport just before check-in opens to get our seats together.

(It's from Gatwick, Flight no. TOM054 on FCA B763ER)

Thanks in advance.

You Don't Say When It Is Your Flying? Have You Contacted Thomson Airways Direct To Pre-Book Seats?

The Chances Are As There Are Two Of You You Would Get One Of The Pairs Of Seats (Aircraft Configured 2-3-2)

Nope, I booked it through First Choice, but will give Thomson a ring.

It's just that when I booked through the website, it wouldn't let me tick the box for both 'extra legroom' and 'reserved seating', it was either or, so I just ticked extra legroom.

I'm going on the 12th July.

Hi Janman123,

You should be able to book specific seats. We have booked extra legroom seats for our flight to Egypt next month. also booked spectific seats numbers two weeks ago. We booked them direct with the airline and not our travel agent.

I would phone Thomson Airlines 0871 231 4787.

Thanks guys!

It should be G-OBYI, but it's irrelevant really as all the ex-TOM long haul aircraft were identical. There'll only be one former TOM 763 in operation on long haul when you fly, otherwise it would be impossable to say this far in advance.

I'm afraid not, they don't have that facility. Only the major scheduled airlines offer those sorts of facilities on some of their aircraft.
