clarewalkers,

MAN-TFS-MAN (TOM2762/3) are operated by a Boeing 737-800 or the larger 757-200 depending on your dates of travel. It'll be a Boeing 757-200 between 08/11/2009 - 13/12/2009 or a 737-800 (winglets) between 20/12/2009 - 25/04/2010. You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide.

Hi Gower and Dazbo,

Many thanks for your help in the past .... much appreciated.

Need a bit more help here. We (hubby, 15 year old and myself) are thinking of going to Aruba on 31st July (haven't booked yet) with First Choice in economy. Want to book bulk head seats. I know it is early days, but would you happen to know what aircraft is likely to be used, and the best bulk head seats to request?

We flew with First Choice in August to Hurghada in a 757 and had seat numbers 32A,B and C (bulk head) and couldn't belive the amount of room we had. The equivalant to that on long haul would be fantastic!!!

Regards,
Pat

pat,

It'll be a Boeing 767-300/ER, but as to which of the configurations, it's way too early to tell. It would normally be a former First Choice aircraft, but things can change. The seating plans for the various aircraft are linked from our What Aircraft? guide. Seating is personal preference so there aren't really any 'best' seats. If you request extra legroom seating, you should get the seats you want. I'd go for the overwing exits personally as the ones adjacent to the toilets can get congested with passengers queuing and crossing the aircraft (even though they are asked not to).

cymrulad1106,

Not as yet, my contact at the airline is on his holiday! To give you an idea of what to expect, check out the Thomas Cook IFE (you'll have to register with Ink Publishing).

Googled and found this thread on the confirmation of Thomson Airways movies for long haul.They do mention December only but as Thomson Airways change their movies every 2 months these films must be for the months of Nov/Dec.

Hi Darren,

Many thanks for your reply, very much appreciated.

As the aircraft would be a 767 (First Choice) can I assume that the seat configuration in economy would be 3x3x3 or 2x3x2? Also, how much leg room space would there be in the bulk head seats? Would it be the same/similar to that of a 757 First Choice aircraft?

Thanks again,
Pat

pat,

Aircraft configurations are detailed on our What Aircraft? guide. Legroom on the bulkhead seats will be similar to those on the 757. Depending on the specific aircraft assigned on the day, the overwing exits (row 20) are good as you have extra legroom as well as the seat infront to put your feet under. You don't get that on the bulkhead rows. It's personal preference though.

Hi Darren,

Many thanks for your reply, really appreciated.

Regarding legroom on Bulk Head seats on a 757 - we had approx 40"

Regarding overwing Exit (Row 20) would they have the same amount of leg room?

Thanks once again,
Pat

On ex First Choice 757s which seat rows are classed as the Extra Legroom seats which you pay 50quid for??? Does anyone have a seating plan for these ex First Choice 757s looked on the What Aircraft nothing showing.

qatarman,

Seating plans are linked from our What aircraft? guide. It's rows 12 and 32. There are 5 variations to the 757 fleet, but the extra legroom seats are all the same rows regardless of aircraft background.
