Darren, can you please tell me what the registration letters will be on the new 787s Please?

Also if I fly on one of the first crew training flights, to let's say, Malaga and fly straight back. Would I have to leave the plane, go through immigration and then go to departures? Or could I stay on the plane?

You won't be flying on one to Malaga, it's going to Las Palmas and Tenerife first! You can't just stay onboard the aircraft once it lands. You have to disembark, check-in and reboard the aircraft to conform to security requirements. They are two seperate flights, not a continuation. Given the turn-around times, it's unlikely you'd make the check-in in time for the return flight.

Thanks Darren, that's messed up my idea. I fancy one of the first flights though.
I went on the second Air 2000 flight on G OOOA. Good flights in those days with bucks fizz and hot towels and better food. I've got a photo of me going up the steps, crikey I looked young!!!

Many Thanks

Thanks Tweetie ... it was just a case of someone posting in the Thomas Cook thread in error, and their post would have been moved to the Thomson thread before you clicked on the email link.

Hi....im sure ive read somewhere that rows 11 and 12 on a 737-800 (thomsons) does not have a window...can anyone confirm if this is correct, and if it is, why is this? thanks

tracytreacle1,

Aircraft wiring and air conditioning systems need to be routed throughout the aircraft. Some windows are therefore missing as systems are routed up the side of the aircraft fuselage between the outer skin and internal wall. There are two windows missing in the forward section of the aircraft, approximately rows 10-12. Avoid those if you want a window.

I've just been reading the travelling with infants guide on the website. It say's that any milk, baby food must be tested by the adult when going through security. I will be taking milk cartons with me. Surely I won't have to open those as they'll be sealed cartons :think

Marlou,

This is :offtop for here really, but there are liquid restrictions for security reasons. Milk cartons are no exception. More details on the HAND LUGGAGE REGULATIONS & INCREASED SECURITY .. Q&As topic. Can you not get what you need in resort? Or pack them in your suitcase? If you need them specifically for the flight, pour them in to bottles, ideally less than 100ml for inspection at security or it not, be prepared to taste them all at security. Only take what you'll need for the flight.
