Why the interest?

Darren

Hi Darren
Thanks for the info on Tom770/1 do you have any details of a 763 on your site.
Thanks again
Roger

Rogerdoger,

Everything about them is on our What Aircraft? guide (link below). 763 = Boeing 767-300/ER. It's normally a non-wingletted aircraft (G-DBLA or G-PJLO).

Darren

>>>>Why the interest?

Thanks again Darren.
I was interested to know how much longer the 757s would remain in the fleet, it looks as though there is plenty of life in them yet.
I really enjoy flying the 757s, especially the take offs from short Greek runways. The RR engines are made 4 miles from where I live and it give me confidence and pride when I see the black "RR" on the engine.
However, the old green interiors are very cramped. Flying back from Santorini last June I had cramp before we took off! I wish they would give us a bit more room, but yes I know people buy on price. It's a rum state when you are more comfortable on a Ryanair than a Thomson/First Choice/or the good old Air2000 (where has the buck's fizz and the hot towels gone?)

Darren you do a great job on this site, well done.

They'll be around for a while yet, the younger ones in the fleet anyway. G-BYAO/P have recently been withdrawn from the fleet, but there are plenty of new aircraft on order to fillful requirements. G-FDZY (73H) is expected on 23rd November, with G-FDZZ (73H) due on 28th December. There are a further 8 73H's due in 2012 (G-TAWA-I), and of course the 787 (aka 7-late-7's!!).

In the same bin where the IFE now is!!

Darren

hi

Just wondering if they had confirmed the aircraft registration number and type now for our flights please

TOM1558 2.12.2011 09.55 NCL - TFS
TOM 637 19.12.2011 19.15 Bridgetown to Newcastle

Thanks

HuddersfieldTourist,

Specific registrations won't be assigned until closer to the date. It makes little difference as respective aircraft are basically all the same inside. TOM1558 is showing as a Boeing 737-800 and TOM637 as a Boeing 767-300/ER (most likely ex-FCA).

Darren

i am flying to goa on feb 11 (tom052) returning on march 11 (tom 053). what version of 763(tom or 1st choice, vers 1,2or3).also can i still book my seats 90 days before return flight. many thanks.

don coulthart,

TOM052/3 is an ex-FCA. It's normally a V2 aircraft, but this can change to V1 as they are swapped and changed all the time.

Darren

many thanks. is it still 90 days for pre booking seats

don coulthart,

90 days over the phone, 60 days online.

Darren

thankyou

Hi Darren,this is the last time I ask this..promise..Do u know yet which aircraft are operating TOM 048/49 LGW 23/11 and 7/12 respectively..Thanks very much

Thanks

I understood they were to be Arkefly aircraft.

I will check back a few days before !

Hi Darren,is that 90days from your return flight or outbound flight.

Qatarman,

You can call them 90 days before your outbound to book the seats for the outbound and call again 2 weeks later for the inbound.
I call them both times just at 9am and went through immediately, no waiting time, very efficient agent and it was all sorted in minutes.

HI Darren

Do you know if flight TOM2202 (27/12/11) & 2203 (10/01/12) Man - TFS (return) is on a Thomson 757 or ex first choice, the reason I ask is that last year we were on an ex First Choice and it was really cramped and uncomfy!

(also there are a few disserent versions of the 757 on the which aircraft guide, do you know which one it is)
