meyrick,

I thought you said you were on the same flight back (TOM6604/5)? If you're on the other flight inbound (TOM6371), then yes, you'll be on a 73H out and 75W in.

They operate a mixed fleet of aircraft with some flights operated by ex-FCA and some by ex-TOM. They have aircraft based all over the place and are rotated regularly. They don't have all ex-FCA at Gatwick for example and all ex-TOM at MAN. They normally have one of each plus a 3rd 'floater' but it various over the seasons. Your flights are operated by an ex-FCA as per the seating plan.

Welcome onboard :tup
It depends on the aircraft assigned to your flight, but row 28 is an exit row and therefore can't be booked unless you pay for extra legroom seating (restrictions apply). Arm rests lift up in the economy cabin apart from at exit rows. You don't get pillows and blankets in ecomony these days, but limited supplies are available on request. Children won't really benefit from the premium cabin as they won't appreciate the extra seat pitch and complimentory drinks like adults will.

little me,

You'll need an adapter if you want to use your own headphones onboard the Boeing 757-200's (winglets). Adapters are't available on the flights.

Miss Pink,

It's just the usual perfumes, alcohol and tobacco really, nothing out of the ordinary. It's Alpha shopping so if you check out what Thomas Cook offer, it's pretty much the same.

Thanks Darren,

This is a really good site that I have just discovered.

The aircraft will be Tom 767/300R V2. When I looked on the seating plan, row 28 didnt look like an exit row but I was wondering why it was block on the way out and back.
I have chosen seats 26 A and B and 27 A and B so I was wondering what I was going to have behind. Sometimes they use expecific seats for the crew. I am also hoping that the seats will have windows.

It is good to know that you can lift up the arms in economy as it will be better for my little boys to be able to sleep and lye on our laps.
I believe in Premium they are statics, isnt it?

Do you know anything about children's meals?

Also I just remember, what type of headphones they give you, if they give you any? Just wondering if I will need to buy any for the boys to be able to watch their programmes.

Sorry to have to ask so many questions, I have travel all over the world due to my job but now with children things are not as easy but I still want them to see the world.

Thanks again

soldemar,

The rows you've selected aren't used by crew and all have windows in that area of the aircraft. Seats in the premium cabin are of a different design to those in economy. Premium seats have fixed arm rests as the tray-tables fold out from them rather than being on the seat back. I don't have the meal list at the moment and I don't travel with kids so don't see them. If it's the saussage and mash, it's one of the better meals they have available. Headphones on long haul are complimentory and are of the in-ear design. If you don't like them (I find them uncomfortable for long flights), you can take ones from previous flights or your own as long as you have the adapter for them.

That isn't such a silly question really.

I don't eat Chicken and have emailed thomson to tell them so.

Last year whilst flying premium to Jamaica with Thomas Cook, i had a choice of Chicken or Chicken, i ended up with some vegetarian meal that resembled Pavement Pitza, and although i don't know what that tastes like..........I imagine it was very similar.

That's one thing I can't tell you I'm afraid as it depends on your destination and time of flight.

If you dont eat chicken (members of the party I travel with don't either), it's best to contact the airline and request a different meal. They have plenty of options. I'm told the vegetarian option isn't particularly good. The low fat option (diet) is chicken at the moment so don't opt for that. It's quite good however, as is the saussage and mash. A couple of examples:

Saussage, hash brown and omelette breakfast

Sauassage and mash evening meal

You can choose meal options online on their website.

Is the food much different when travelling Premium?

Not a lot really. It's just a slight upgrade (4 course instead of 3) over the economy meals.
