Good morning Darren,

We are travelling from Gatwick to Sharm -el- Shiek on the 17th January 2013 returning on the 31st. As it is within the 90 day period we now have access to the `flightextras` webpage and wish to book our extra legroom seating.

Upon looking at the plane diagram we have been pre allocated 16A,B,C and D on the way out ,and 15 A,B,C and D for the return.

Whilst the seats are indicated as extra legroom, I can find no 757 Thomson seating plan that has the additional `extra` seats in these locations.

The associated flight numbers are TOM 396 and 397 respectively, and whilst it is no big deal , I was just curious as to whether the 757 was still being utilised or whether another type aircraft has been employed which would explain the different seating configuration.

Many thanks, and kind egards,

Gordon

It looks like the aircraft has been changed to a Boeing 737-800 since I got a copy of the aircraft schedule. Rows 15 and 16 are the over wing exit rows. Row 15 doesn't have recline, 16 does. The seat plan is on our What Aircraft? guide.

Hi all,

Quick question, do you get flight socks in the pampering pack when you fly premium economy?

Thanks in advance

Yes, but they are very basic, if their important to you grab some in boots.

Hi Darren

Can you help me please?

We are travelling from Gatwick to Holguin on 8 Jan 2013 (TOM094) and back on 22 Jan (TOM095). Are you able to tell us which plane this will be on?

Many thanks

Dazbo-any idea why Tom022 is delayed this morning? (Sun). Will be on this flight in 3 weeks so I'm following it. :-)

Technical problem with the aircraft from what I can see. I wouldn't worry, just because there's a delay this week doesn't mean there will be on your day of departure. Delays happen for a multitude of reasons. The airline will do their best to get you away on time, it's in their interest as it's cost them time and money if not.

Hiya,

We have just booked to go man-sharm. I am booking seats and on flight TOM754 on the 26/11/12 are 9a/9b ok are they a full window seat? We are returning on TOM 785 on the 7/12/12 are 7e/7f ok and are they a full window seat. They look like different aircraft, the inbound one looks larger.

Many Thanks

Anne

MAN-SSH-MAN (TOM754/785 ) are operated by Boeing 737-800 / 757-200 respectively. The area around row 9 on the 738 doesn't have a window due to air conditioning ducting and wiring, you might want to move a few or two forward. Row 7 on the 752 has a window.

Hiya Darren,

Thanks for that I'm so glad I asked, just had a look and row 9 - 14 are available but nothing further forward. Which row would you go for? I know they are over the wing but I do like to sit further forward and try not to get behind the engines.

Many Thanks,

Anne

It's up to you really. Row 13 or 14 will have a window but is over the engine / wing. 9 and 11 don't have windows. If you aren't too bothered about a window, row 9 etc are fine. All seats are the same so it makes little diffference comfort wise.

Hiya Darren,

Does row 10 &12 have a window?

Cheers,

On the 737-800? There are 3-4 rows that are effected with the ducting and wiring between rows 9 and 12. Row 10 may have a particial view, not a full one. You're safe with row 13 aft, row 12 is partial still I think. It's not the best area to be wanting a window. Are there seats towards the rear available? All those have windows and the wing won't be in the way.
