To TOM-BY etc, and possibly Dazbo,

We are off to Sharm in a little over 4 weeks from LGW and from a previous query, I know we're on an ex-Thomsonfly 767. I also saw the new IFE listing posted over the weekend and was wondering if we are on a seat back screen flight?

Cheekily, could I also ask if there is a choice of film as I might want to watch one film, whilst 'er indoors watches another.

Thanks in advance.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS - THOMSONFLY ... Q&As

IainB99,

Do you know your flight numbers as there are several flights per week? We'll be able to tell you the aircraft registration the day before your flight and whether it'll have seat back IFE. Aircraft are rotated all the time so it's impossable to say this far in advance. 4 of 6 aircraft have seat back IFE so there's a 66% chance. The way I understand it, you'll have two films to watch played one after the other on a broadcast only system. You won't be able to choose although you'll still be able to choose the Tv programmes and access the games.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS - THOMSONFLY ... Q&As

Just back after a short break in Palma.

Flights both way with Thomson were excellent. I do like the new Recaro seats but feel they don't offer a lot of lower back support. The 757-200 I flew on looked well maintained though the picture of the overheard centre aisle IFE was poor, the radio stations were entertaining enough though.

Didn't get a meal but I thought the snack and drink prices were reasonable and cheaper than some competitors.

Question to DAZBO and others, noted that on my ticket on the way home that the Iberia handling agnets were still using the old Britainnia BY codes on the tickets and green luggage identifiers. It was a nice blast from the past though

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS - THOMSONFLY ... Q&As

JKKne,

BY/TOM are the standard 2/3 figure prefixs for Thomson Airways. They won't change. Some handling agents use the 2 figure, most the 3 figure.

Dazbo,

flight is TOM652.

Hopefully, we get a couple of movies in as we did on the route to Dalaman last year.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS - THOMSONFLY ... Q&As

IainB99,

In that case, post your flight details the day before you fly and we'll let you know the aircraft to expect on the day and whether it'll have seat back IFE or not.

alboy26,

Welcome onboard :tup

Aircraft type depends on when you are flying. LGW-AYT-LGW (TOM718/9) are operated by an Airbus A320-200 up to 25/09/2009, then it's an A321-200 from 02/10/2009 until 30/10/2009. For further aircraft information, refer to our What Aircraft? guide.

There will be seat back IFE with a selection of Movies, TV Programs and Games.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS - THOMSONFLY ... Q&As

Chris1957,

You Are Correct, Your Flight Will Be Operated By A Short Haul Boeing 767-300, A Seating Plan Can Be Found Here

It Is A Long Time Since I Have Been On The Shorthaul Boeing 763 And I Can't Find My Info With The Details On At The Moment :duh

However If I Try And Remember You May Have Problems In 12 / 17 / 30.

Re: Upcoming holiday

airdrielad,

Welcome Onboard :wave:

We Have A Dedicated Thomson Airways Forum And A What Aircraft? Guide Here At Holiday-Truths, Both Have Extensive Information On Thomson Airways Flights

Your Flights TOM238 Will Be Operated By A Boeing 757-200, These Have A 28" Seat Pitch With The Seating Arranged In A 3-3 Configuration, A Seating Plan Can Be Found On The What Aircraft? Guide I Have Linked Above

If There Is Anything Else We Can Do Just Ask
