SeekingFCA,

MAN mainly although it does move around as needed. Particular aircraft aren't assigned to specific flights, aircraft are rotated regularly. It makes little difference if you're on that aircraft or not as it has the same interior as the other aircraft. It came from the UK fleet originally.

Just came in to say that I've just come back from the Dom Rep. I flew out on the 29th and I was looking forward to watching Chronicle .... but the July listings were early :( So I had to settle for Safe House which was a decent replacement!

Hi Darren,

Are you able to tell me what plane it will be for my flight in Nov please, or am I still to early?
V1 or V2, ex-FC?

MAN-CUN-MAN
07.11.12 - TOM196
21.11.12 - TOM197

Thanks.

cagzy,

MAN-CUN-MAN (TOM196/7) should be ex-FCA V2, but I'll be able to confirm closer to the time. Other than the location of the overwing exit row and the position of a few seats, there's no real difference between the V1 and V2 aircraft. There's only 1 out of 6 in the V1 so chances are, it'll be V2.

Wow, thanks for very quick response Darren!!

I've ended up booking premium, so am I right in assuming it's 9 rows with no window in row 9?

Thanks.

Hi cagzy,

We booked row 9 ( middle 3) when went went to Aruba 2 years ago. The 2 seats to the right (from what I recall) had no window, to the left it did. This year we were going to take a chance and book 9A & B, but have been told that should the aircraft be change for operational reasons, there is a small change that the aircraft could be switched to a Thomson flight which only has 5 rows in premium, meaning that we would be bumped into Economy, but still receive the perks of premium. With this in mind we decided to book seats 3A and B which has a full window not shared.

Regards,
Pat

cagzy,

That's correct, no window on row 9 in the V2.

That's great, thanks for that Pat.

I will myself try and book seats 3A and B as I like that there is a full window. Thanks for that info.

Darren - thanks for confirming.

Was wondering if anyone knows which actual plane will be operating TOM2146 Manchester - Porto Santo tomorrow? Thanks in anticipation,Steve.

stevli,

Aircraft are swapped and changed too regularly to know which will be assigned this far out. The seating and configuration of all the 73H's are the same, it's just the newer ones have the sky interior so there's not a lot of difference really whichever you get assigned.

Hi Dazbo,

Just gone on to the thomson website to select our seats......? TOM 308 / 309 Dep 22/09/12 @ 21.25 and return 07/10/12 @ 01.25 from Manchester to Dalaman. You said we'd be on a boeing 757 but the seat plan suggests otherwise as it has a 2-4-2 config. Could you please confirm what aircraft we'll be flying on.....? Also the return journey looks a really small plane......? Oh and i think our outbound flight time has been changed............... :que

Thank's for your help........ Again......!

All the best , ash........ :cheers

barjiash,

Aircraft are sometimes changed from when the schedules are put together. TOM308/9 are listed as operated by Boeing 757-200 up until the end of September. Flight logs are showing that is the case currently. However, if bookings have been strong or for the duration of the school hols, they may have increased capacity and put a Boeing 767-300/ER (328Y / short haul) on instead, with the 2-4-2 configuration. The schedule shows the flight reduces to a Boeing 737-300 from 6th October for the rest of the month, as I mentioned last time.

There are a number of flights upgraded to B767's for the summer onwards allowed by the addition of SE-RFS to the fleet this summer.
