Discussions relating to flight only, airlines and airports.
hello,

we are flying out on 14th May from Gatwick to Punta Cana booked with Thomsons, flight no. TOM070 there, TOM071 back 28th May.
Does anyone know if this is an ex-FCA plane or Thomsonfly?

Many Thanks in advance.

I can't speak for the others, but I have access to some airline aircraft schedules and several other systems. I'm also an aviation photographer so get to know what's being used on what and have contacts! A lot of the information is out there if you know where to look.

Darren,
Are there any websites you can recomend that are in the public domain?
Would certainly take the pressure off you (for which we are all very grateful!).

You can check most flights using ACARS (like text messaging for aircraft): libhomeradar.org or ACARSD.org. More information on this post.

G-DBLA (c/n 26063) has quite a boring history really:

Delivered as B-16603 to Eva Air on 12-06-1992
Transfered to First Choice Airways as G-DBLA on 01-07-2006
Transfered to Thomson Airways 01-11-08

Welcome onboard :tup
Your flights are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. Refer to our What Aircraft? thread for more details. These are indeed configured 2-3-2 and have seat back IFE throughout where you'll have a selection of films, TV programmes, music and games. You can upgrade to the premium IFE for £5 that will give you additional blockbuster movies and games as well as on-demand functions.

britaboard,

Your flights (TOM662/3) are operated as part of the summer schedule. We are currently in the winter schedule. That's why it's not showing at the moment. Schedules operates May-October (summer) and November-April (winter). The current winter flights to Cancun (TOM577/8) operate on a Monday, returning Tuesday. The summer flights (TOM662/3) operate on a Thursday, returning Friday.
