jhe,

The aircraft are often configured differently in summer and winter due to different demands. Some of the 767 fleet are configured for short haul in an all economy configuration for the summer season with 328 seats, then a lower density configuration for the winter for long haul with 283. Details are on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Headphones are supplied, but no amenity packs.

If you require any amenity items though, ask the crew. A Small quantity are loaded for on demand requests near the back galley such as toothbrush, eye shades and socks. It was changed as uptake was very low in economy and cleaners reporting in excess of 50% were left onboard untouched on average.

Thanks Darren & By Tom.

It was the headphones I was really bothered about, I must have been 1 of the 50% in economy who never bothered with the amenity pack ;)

Boeing 757-800 extra legroom seats.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages between rows 15 and 16.
Flying MAN -SSH TOM784 in March.
Thanks in advance!

I believe row 15 seats don't recline -row 16 do.

cilan537,

I think you mean the Boeing 737-800? As brewerdave mentions, the only difference between the extra legroom rows 15 and 16 is row 15 doesn't recline due to there being an emergency exit behind. Row 16 does with having standard seats behind. You'll find extensive aircraft information including a seat plan and aircraft / cabin photos linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi Darren

I wounder if you can help me.

I am about to book flights from Man -TFS (27/12/13-10/01/14)

As of yesterday the thomson website was showing only one flight with 4 seats left. (5 of us traveling)

as of this morning there is another 2 flight now avalible that are both cheaper that the only one that was listed yesterday.

Any idea why there is now more avalibilty?

could they now be using a bigger plane?

cheers

The two other flights listed are showing as being 15 nights, returning on the 11 Jan, not 14 returning on the 10th. The original flight is only showing 3 seats now, which is why the site has offered alternatives.

Hi. Does anyone know why Thomson have got 2 flights going out to Sharm from Manchester on Sun 13 April, one at 09.00 and one at 10.00?
Have just booked extra leg room seats (not exit seats) on 10 am flight as weren't available on 9am flight. Are they likely to merge into 1 flight if seat sales are low?
Thanks for any information.

IreneC,

Latest IFE is on our What Aircraft? guide. I'll update it with the next set of films when they are released, probably towards the end of the month.
