I they may reintroduce it again at some point. They've just starting flying to Puerto Vallerta again,.

I do think it is good that a few new (or comeback) destinations are being added to Thomsons flight schedule. But there’s a trend towards very much higher pricing than in the past.

I went to Puerto Vallarta with Thomson/FC back in 2007, just before they stopped the flights, and I really enjoyed it. I stayed at Golden Crown Paradise and paid 1291 for all-inclusive
- and that included single supplement.
I just checked pricing for summer 2014. They now offer the hotel right next door, same hotel group, called Crown Paradise Club, which has almost identical features to the Golden Crown (except, sadly, the club does allow children) and the price is over 2200 – a 70% increase!
I’ve looked at their new Barbados and Mauritus offerings
– and frankly the prices are unbelievably high. Not for me.

Now what I’d REALLY like to see, and would be prepared to break my piggy bank for, is an offering like the “Round The World” trip run by My Travel/Airtours in, I think, 2006.
If my memory is right, it was one A330 plane, flying right around the world for about 25 days, going places like Borneo, Australia, China, India, Egypt, S.Africa, Hawaii, the USA, and more
It cost around 4500 including all hotels and meals!
Sadly, they only did it once, so I guess it didn’t make a profit,
But what a nice way to promote the Dreamliner – hint, hint.
Please Thomson?

Hi Darren
We are on TOM122 tomorrow morning. Please could you tell where the aircraft is coming from before.
Many thanks
Tracy

Thomson Airways already do these sort of flights with their 757's, although they are very pricey.

We're off to Mexico next Tuesday on TOM030. Does anyone know where the aircraft arrives from prior to our flight?? Thank you!

I'd love to see them re-introduce Costa Rica. It is a massive bucket list destination for me and as it is, outprices me just for flights to get there now, whereas with the package it used to be affordable.

I don't think enough people are aware of CR as a destination for it to be profitable, but with a good destination campaign I could see it doing well.

Tracy1971,

Your aircraft is coming in from Cancun (TOM175) and is operated by G-OBYG.

Have a great holiday

Darren

marshwiggle,

Your aircraft comes in from Sanford (TOM157). It then positions down from Manchester to Gatwick to operate your flight.

Darren

Thank you Darren, I'm looking forward to ordering my first pina colada

Tracy1971 ,

Darren

Thanks Darren - looking forward to a Tequila on the beach!!

You're all making me turn green! 41 days until I go though

Darren

flying saturday morning to Cancun on Tom 144 could anyone tell me where the flight comes in from and any idea which plane it is likely to be wife is hoping for ALFIE as is grandsons name lol xx thanks

cpclarkes,

The inbound flight is TOM127 from Sanford (it's been asked on here several times previously). I won't know until Friday which aircraft is operating it. It makes no difference though really given all the aircraft are identical other than their name.

Darren

we are going to goa in march, are the seats in dreamliner wider that the older planes that used to fly there??
not sure whether to book premium or just extra leg room?

Hi, am on TOM 512 on 27th Aug MAN-AYT, I have booked my seats and some websites say it is a 767 others a Dreamliner. Any idea which one it actually is? Thanks

Margoose,

MAN-AYT-MAN (TOM512/3) is scheduled to be operated by Boeing 767-300/ER (short haul).
