Once again Passengers on TOM196/7 will be forced to endure 10 Hours on a Short Haul Config 767. This week however it carn't be a maintenance or technical issue as all the other 767's are flying perfectly. I wonder what Thomson's real reason behind this change is.


Although I have no real evidence of this, I am guessing here that it is all about supply and demand. Probably a high demand for that destination so lets get rid of the premium cabin and squeeze more passengers on. All they have to do is refund the premium upgrades the passengers paid.

I have been subjected to this treatment too and am taking them to court over it for breach of contract. It looks like they're not defending it (they have a couple more days left to put a defence in) which is a shame as I won't have an opportunity to go to court and prove my case. Not that the court in question can set a legal precedent.

Welcome onboard :tup
When is it you're flying? Are you on the TOM7366/7 as TOM7355 doesn't exist (typo?). Flights are operated by a Boeing 757-200. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide.

It'll be the same type on both flights. You may find my flight reviews on this type useful. Links are on the Thomson Airways section of the What Aircraft? guide where you'll also find links to photos. They're comfortable aircraft and the youngest aircraft in the Thomson Airways fleet.

I don't think its really fair they shouldn't boast about there 33" legroom if they can not provide it on all the flights they have. I wrote them a letter just expressing how unhappy I was with the change and the only reply I got was one asking me to wait for a reply. That was 3 weeks ago and I haven't heard back from them since. If it wernt for the fact they were only ones who did the Riu we wouldn't be flying with them again.

Premium seats.
Following on from earlier comments we had already booked seats Row 2 E/F/G from Bhx-Cancun departing 3rd September. I am now worried that row 2 will be a bulkhead seat. The seat plans show two different versions of the ex First Choice B767. Is it possiable to find out which version we will be travelling on ?
I have rang Thompsons but they said it is to late to change the seats, do you think it would be still possiable to do this at the airport providing not everyone has pre booked there seats.
Thanks..

tigger,

The seating depends on the aircraft assigned to your flight on the day. We'll know the day before your flight if you want to post your flight details. At the moment, it's looking like G-OOAN (seating plan Version 1) will be operating TOM662/3 on Thursday so 2 F/G are bulkhead seats. It won't be possible to change seats at check-in as they are assigned by them.

Hi Tigger

This happened to us - we booked Row 2 A,B and 3 A, B presuming it wasn't bulkhead and the customer services rep checked at the time -it wasn't on the seat plan. Unfortunately the plane was changed on the day and we were told our seats no longer existed, which was a bit confusing as clearly Row 2 and 3 did still exist on the replacement aircraft but Row 2 A,B was now bulkhead.

We had been given 3 A,B, C, D. I asked the check in clerk if we could have something else. She came back with 2 F,G and 3 F,G. We had to do this on the return leg too as we'd been preallocated 3 A,B, C and D too.

The longer Thomson Airways wait for the Dreamliner the more you will have problems on long haul,putting winglets on does make them newer planes the older they get the more downtime they will have I know I will get that the 767-300 is only 12+ yrs old but they get a rougher life than Scheduled Airlines.
When you use the legroom and Premium Cabin as a selling ploy you should be made under law to honour the contract which it seems Thomson Airways are not doing on some routes by changing planes.
Nice to know my flight to Heathrow tomorrow will be on a 3/4yr old Airbus A330 (Qatar Airways)Maybe even an A340-600.
