Its very unlikely your flight will be G-OBYD and that it will be delayed at all, scheduled aircraft change every week.

Ok, thank you

helenbxx,

G-OBYD is operating on a different rotation to your flight so nothing to worry about. Fingers crossed everything will be back on track this time next week so I wouldn't worry just yet.

Thanks Darren

hi
flying on tom 2708 manchester to kefalinia sunday 20th june, does anyone know where the plane flyes in from, think it could be one of two( tom2721 palma ) or ( tom2779 palma ) thanks for any help bri

bripat,

It's the first flight out of the day for that aircraft and could be one of several. It comes in on Saturday evening / early sunday morning then night stops so plenty of time to absorb any delays.

Darren

Thanks darren for the info

hi
flying to dom rep on the 28 june on tom 38 .what type of aircraft is it
thanks rg

ravelglen,

LGW-POP-LGW (TOM038/9) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER (winglets). You'll find further aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

hi,i'm just wondering if anyone knows what IFE will be on TOM7260/1 ? i've got 2weeks to go and wondering how i'll keep my 17 month old occupied on our laps,also where will the aircraft be coming in from to EMA? i can keep a check on any possible delays then!
thanks in advance

sunny days,

EMA-TFS-EMA (TOM7260/1) are operated by a Boeing 737-800 (winglets). The aircraft comes in from Alicante (TOM7218/9). The IFE listing for May / June is here. You'll have a movie from that listing.

Hi, Im going to Ibiza from Cardiff on the 26th june and returning on the 7th July, I understand that I will be travelling on a 737 and 757. I was told that the 737 was the 800 winglet version but for the past few ibiza flights on the Saturday, G-CDZH has been used which is an older version of he 737-800. I have heard that these aircraft are less comfortable than the new winglet versions.
I would like to know what 737 is being used on the Saturday morning fligt to Ibiza.

thanks for any replies.

Thanks darren

meyrick,

The schedule is showing TOM6604 is operated by a 73H (737-800 winglets) and your return flight, TOM6370 a Boeing 757-200 (winglets). Exact aircraft swap and change all the time as they are rotated for maintenance reasons. The 738 and 73H are essentially the same aircraft other than the winglets, however you are correct in that the seat design is slightly different. The 738's have the older style seats wheras the 73H have the newer slimline Recaro seats. The older seats are thicker and have the seat pocket at the base of the seat. The newer seats are thinner and have the seat pocket at the top of the seat. This gives you an extra inch or two of room while maintaining the same seat pitch. I wouldn't say they are less comfortable, they just have slightly less knee room. Given it's a relatively short flight to IBZ, I'm sure you'll be fine.

meyrick,

As Darren points out the aircraft are rotated regulaly. Cardiff started off the season with a wingletted 738. But has also seen G-CDZH (without winglets) operating in between having wingletted aircraft their. The 757 is G-OOBJ at the moment. If you check back later on in the week we will be able to see which aircraft is down their for the Saturday flight

Have just seen Thomson's latest 757 G-OOBN.
I see it's an old Belair aircraft, and is all white.
Does anyone know if it will be refurbished inside or have the old Belair interior??

It will have the old Belair interior and wont be painted as it will be returned at the end of September.

I am flying to Reus on Tuesday from Luton, flight TOM5220 (managed to get the week of work, hence not flying from Birmingham as previously posted).

I've been looking on Flightradar24 and it looks like the aircraft will be either G-CDZI or G-CDZL unless they shift them between now and then?

Am I right in assuming that as these are some of their older 737-800 that they won't have winglets? I know its sad but I always think the winglets make photo's taken out the window look more interesting.

Anyway just curious, the main thing is I am going on holiday though!!

Mark757,

There are 4x 737-800's (G-CDxx / -804's) that are non-wingletted. The other 9x 73H's (G-FDxx / -8K5's) are the wingletted aircraft. I believe LTN have the -804's at the moment.
