Dazbo,

There will be 3 long haul configured 767's from the Thomsonfly fleet, one acting as a standby aircraft should there be any problems with either the Thomsonfly or First Choice 767's.

This should reduce (expensive) long haul delays this summer.

G-OBYD is in long haul config of 283 at the moment but as you say, that will change- it was 328 last summer.

Thanks for the update, that's a change from the original fleet listing for the summer 09 season.

We have just returned from Punta Cana travelling Premium Cabin,and it looks as if I have eat some humble pie(I knock Thomsonfly for being poor) the product was very very good,the IFE knocks spots off Virgin Premium Economy.The only small complaints are the Aldo Zilli meals and on the return the cabin lights were not dimmed untill 4hrs into the flight.Well worth the upgrade for us.

Hi everyone as you already know I go on holiday in 11 days and I know it is a B767-300ER but is there anyway of knowing which aircraft it will be as in G-.......? Or is that impossible? Also can anyone tell me which films etc will be shown? That's the 05/04/09!

Cheers sparky123.

Nice to hear you had a good time, The reason the lights wern't dimmed is because the Thomsonfly 767's do not have independant light controls. They are split half way down the aircraft- which encompases the economy section, where the service takes longer. This isn't a problem when travelling on a First Choice 767(well apart from those in the economy section!!)

Should be going on Thomsonfly in June sometime as TOM4342, departing at 13:55, I'm guessing it's a B752, but i'm not sure, can anyone confirm it's a Boeing 757 I'll be going on?

Gatwick - Kos.

Unless there's a technical problem, no. As much as I like the B752 as an airframe, I actually prefer the B738's from a passengers perspective with their overhead LCD screens rather than the now dated CRT's. You'll find further aircraft details on the What aircraft? thread including my recent trip reports on the 737-800 (you'll be on the 737-800 Wingletted version).

ahh, ok thanks for that, yeah, it's been a long time since I've been on a Boeing 737-800, it was good, but I feel the Boeing 757 is a bit more like 'flying' if you get what I mean.

keel58,

BHX-TFS-BHX (TOM3211/2) is operated by a Boeing 757-200. Refer to our What Aircraft? thread for more details (link above). TFS is a short (mid) haul destination.
