JoFay,

If you've chosen your seats and had a confirmation email, there's nothing to worry about . You'll have the seats you've chosen.

One of the extras with the premium upgrade is selecting seats numbers, so there is no extra to pay.

I was querying this, as I've always had to pay in the past...

It must be a new thing

Thanks for all the help x

It's been like that for a couple of years I think.

It is kind of new, you've been able to select seat numbers for no extra cost for about a year now but you have to have reserved your seats together or paid for premium upgrades.

I've flown with Thomson every year for the last 7 years, except last year when I went with TC (Because they were ALOT cheaper)... But with Thomson being the only carrier with PE - I have returned

It's good to know - I've yet to book my inbound seat numbers, and have a flight booked for March next year too!

Hi, we fly out with Thomson tomorrow morning so need a pretty quick answer please!?

We are booked as a package holiday through Thomson. We are not sure about the weight restrictions. is it 20kgs for the main luggage plus 5 kgs hand luggage? Or 15kgs main luggage plus 5kgs hand luggage?

Any help much appreciated.

gkpaul,

Luggage allowance is printed on your tickets and on your booking confirmation. It depends what holiday you have booked. If it says 20kg on your tickets, you allowance is 20kg hold and 5kg hand luggage.

hi i am flying on tom406 to SHARM EL SHEIKH in september dose any one no what plane i be on and i see there to flight numbers so is there 2 flight that day or just the one thanks

I have just booked my seats for my trip in September, I was hoping for 1C but it was already taken on the outbound :( I thought today was the first day for choosing seats.

However I tried to book excess baggage but it only gave me the option to book sports equipment and scuba kit isn't listed, only bicycles, golf, windsurfers and something else, yet the flight extras link says excess baggage can be booked. I was hoping not to have to phone Thomsons as I have called them 4 times since I paid my balance on June 4th and still haven't received a confirmation of my payment. I also get conflicting information regarding the cost of extra baggage each time I call.

petey,

Welcome onboard :tup
LGW-SSH-LGW (TOM406/7) are operated by a Boeing 757-200. There are several flights to Sharm, but two Thomson Airways on a Thursday; TOM406/7 and TOM396/7 both with the same scheduled departure time. You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Feebee,

You don't need to book extra allowance for scuba equipment. Just arrive at check-in with your c-card and you'll get an extra 5kg allowance free of charge (details here about half way down under 'Can I take golf clubs or other sports equipment, such as a surf board, bicycle, or skis, on the flight?'). I'll be doing the same to the Maldives in 10 weeks time. You used to have to pre-book the extra allowance, but haven't had to for the last couple of years. Just remember that even if you pre-book extra allowance, no bag over 23kg will be permitted to travel. I normally put all my diving gear in the suitcase padded with clothes up to 20kg, then take a second small bag with the remaining cloths up to 5kg.

Thanks Darren, I still need to book an extra 10kg in addition to the 5kg free and the 5kg already booked.

I seem to be loosing the will to live with Thomson's. So far I have about 6 different telephone numbers to book excess baggage. Tried again today after being on hold for 15 minutes I was told I have to use the 0844 871 0885 number which turned out to be closed on Sunday's.

Why can't the different systems "talk" to each other. It also seems Thomson have never heard of the British SubAqua Club :(

Feebee,

Sorry to hear of your problems, but I can't say I've ever had a problem like that. Every employee won't know who BSAC / PADI / CMAS etc are, but that's not important as you only need to show your c-card at check-in to prove you're diving and are a qualified diver to get the 5kg divers allowance. You don't need to pre-book that. It's normally easy to book the extra luggage allowance online. Have you tried this number; 0871 231 4793 or the cheap rate alternatives on Say No To 0870.com?
