Hi Darren/experts, I've booked a holiday to Boa Vista in the Cape Verde Islands. We're on flight TOM278 departing 9.8.11.
I know it is too early for confirmed information but I was thinking about our flight.
We've been to Cape Verde before and we were on a 757 (former First Choice) and found the seating uncomfortable on a flight of this length. I know Thomson generally do use their 757's to Cape Verde but I know they are being phased out and replaced with 737-800's. We flew to Egypt last year on one of their brand new 737's and found it excellent (seating, mood lighting etc.).
So, do you know if the 737's have the range to get to Cape Verde non-stop? If so, maybe they will start being used on the Cape Verde routes?
Again, I know it is too early for anything to be confirmed but was just a little curious as given the choice we would much prefer to be on a 737 rather than a 757.
Thanks in advance.
