terryM15,

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-PUJ-LGW (TOM060/1) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft and cabin photos, configurations and seat plans. The premium cabin on this aircraft is configured 2-3-2. 5 of the aircraft have 9 rows (V2), one has 10 (V1), but the same number of seats (63). It's not the same aircraft used every week so it does change but it's a safe bet it'll be a V2 aircraft.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As
Hey!

One last question before i go away on Saturday. A few years ago in premium when u asked for a tea, coffee or hot chocolate you used to get a large paper cup that normal seats paid £1.80 or something for but the last time i went to Mexico all we got were the little white cups that you get with the meal that holds next to nothing. Is it still the same nowadays? A silly questin but was just wondering if it was another money saving thing they had on the go.

Re: THOMSON AIRWAYS ... Q&As
Hi there

I am flying with Thomson from Glasgow to Sanford on 16th September. I cannot log into the booking extras page on Thomson at the moment, a message appears telling me to try nearer the time of my holiday. I was keen to see the seat map. Does anyone happen to know which type of aircraft this flight is likely to be and possibly have a link to the seating plan?

Thanks in advance

Tink

tinkglasgow,

Welcome onboard :tup
You can only access select your seat within 2 months of your departure date. I'll need your flight number to give you specific flight details, but assuming you're on the weekly service, your flight is operated by a former Thomsonfly Boeing 767-304/ER (283 seat long haul, winglets). You'll find extensive aircraft information including a link to the seat plan on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

what thomson aircraft will I be flying on please?
Hi there I am new to the forum and was wondering, please can anyone help me, we normally book our own diy holidays, but, this year have booked an all inclusive deal with First Choice/Thomson holiday to Cancun from Gatwick on 16th August 2011, the flight number is TOM074 can anyone tell me which type of aircraft we will be flying on, as we prebooked our seats already as we were hoping to get some leg room ..!! but when looking at the seat booking chart the seat formation was 2,3,2, which seems like a pretty small aircraft for a non stop flight- or am I missing something??

any advice much appreciated

thanks
:)

IFE is changed 3 times per season, ie every 2 months. The current list is for May / June. The next 2 months is July / August. The listing won't be released until the beginning of July. I'll update the link on the What Aircraft? guide when I get it at the beginning of July. The following 2 month period is September / October. I'll update the listing at the beginning of September once it's released. Winter periods are November / December, January / February and March / April. Details aren't known until they are released at the beginning of each 2 month period.

jules1234,

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM074/5) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including aircraft and cabin photos plus seat maps and IFE. The aircraft is a wide bodied twin jet so even though it's 'only' 2-3-2, it's still has a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 186,900kg, has an endurance of 11.25 hours or approximately 5,900 miles with a full passenger load (13 hours / 6,800 miles when empty), a wing span of 47.6m and a length of 54.9m!! It's a pretty big aircraft although not jumbo sized. The medium density configuration means you get more room than the higher density configured aircraft such as those used on short and medium haul flights.

geemac,

EDI-PMI-EDI (TOM1674/5) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. Flights are currently operated for Thomson Airways by Astraeus using the same aircraft type and configuration (G-STRW) so don't be surprised if it doesn't have Thomson's livery.
