Thanks to those who replied regarding my question about the LTN-CFU-LTN flight and the extra legroom on 757s.

Just one more question - I've seen Starbucks being served on longhaul flights now - including Starbucks snacks - is this going to be served on Shorthaul aswell for the new season as I think shorthaul snacks need improvement. I don't mind not having those meals on shorthaul (as didnt like them) but the selection of snacks was not great last year and I think there were a lot of complaints.. Starbucks snacks would be better!

I buy stuff at the airport anyway but it would be great to have a better selection onboard!

SMILEonholiday,

No snacks are served on short haul, only those that are available for purchase. Starbucks coffee will be available for purchase on all flights from May as far as I know. Once the Summer 2013 menu is available, I'll update our What Aircraft? guide.

Thanks Darren, I meant purchase on shorthaul! I knew they didn't serve the snacks but you has to purchase them but found the choices a bit like fast food last year like pizza and chips lol! Would be good if they had some snacks you would find in Starbucks available to purchase instead!

Good news! Thomson Airways first Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner ZA317 (G-TUIA) took to the sky for the first time yesterday and has completed it's first test flight. Subject to how the test flights go, it shouldn't be too long before she's in UK airspace.

cpclarkes,

You'll find extensive aircraft information on our What Aircraft? guide (link below) including seat pitches, configurations and a seat plan for the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. Seat widths should be the same (~18 inches), if not slightly wider than on the 767's. The configuration in premium club is 2-3-2, the same as on the current 767's. It wasn't premium you travelled in last time if the aircraft was configured 2-4-2.

If you had 2-4-2 it wasn't premium you travelled, it would of been economy.

Sorry, I do NOT agree with Darrens comment above.
If one looks at the width of the 767 cabin compared to the width of the 787 cabin – this data is available online from Boeing
– and remember the fact that FCA 767 planes have 7 seats across where the 787 has 9 seats across in economy...
Then simple maths suggests that there HAS to be nearly a 10% REDUCTION in available WIDTH per passenger.
(Unless Thomson have managed to create a fictional TARDIS -bigger on the inside- situation)
OK - the aisles maybe got reduced also, which might help - but no-one is giving real seat width info.
I reckon this advertising hype is out of control.
The Thomson Dreamliner REDUCES overall available WIDTH per passenger compared to the lovely old FCA 767s.
