SAEAGLE,

Winter months are often the ex-TOM as it's a higher density route, hence more seats needed but it does vary. I've not heard if the amenity kits are back (not as far as I know), maybe BY-TOMM-AMM-FCA can update us on that.

Darren

We flew premium back from Cuba last week and didn't have an amenity pack.

Hi Darren

Many Thanks for you prompt response - Have only just found this forum, great reviews and Information available. Looks like better seating with Ex FC than the Thomson. - I Hope.

Darren
Just booked my seats on line for TOM676/677 to Punta Cana 11/06/11 and layout presented was an ex FCA 2-3-2, hope is does not get changed

Ant

Imbrugliasboy,

BHX-DLM-BHX (TOM648/9) should be operated by a Boeing 757-200.

Darren

Thanks Darren

Hi Darren,

Newbie here haha!.. Flying MAN-POP on the first summer scuedule flight in May, did the same route last September and got the TOM long haul 767 on way there and ex FC 767 on the return.. Pre booked seats for this year which indicated ex FC.. (2-3-2) but are these always concrete? Also do you think we are more prone to delay with it being the first day of summer scuedule? (6/5/11)

Cheers!

Aarons18,

Welcome onboard
Once the seats are uploaded on to the system you can be assured of the aircraft. The only chance of it changing is if the assigned aircraft has a technical issue and it's substituted at short notice. In that case, it's a question of there's little choice, a hefty delay for your flight and subsequent ones of the change of aircraft. No flight is more prone to a delay than any other as they can happen for any number of reasons, many of which are out of the control of the airline.

Darren

Hi can you tell me what planes Thomsons will using for the Newcastle to Sanford for Summer 2011.

We are flying in July flight number TOM670 & will the seats be 2-4-2 or 2-3-2 in economy.

Thanks

laudan,

NCL should be having a Boeing 767-300/ER in the ex-FCA configuration.

hello all, just a few short comments re/ our flights to and from varadero cuba- we returned last wednesday.
the overwhelming thought is that premium just aint what it used to be, for £230 per person, it just did not seem a justified expense to us as it has been in the past. the quiter cabin is still a major plus, however there was no amenity pack (usually not used i know, but it's a perk you pay for which you don't receive) and even no bottle of water in the seat pocket. the meal is no longer served any different to standard cabin, and its very similar choices of chicken and beef. a couple asked for some pringles during the bar service and were charged for them, i know that snacks have never been included, but one tube of pringles...chargable...after paying over £200 each? the air filled seats on first choice planes popped years ago so they are not worth considering, and the inflight entertainment had it's moments in terms of picture and sound (my husband had 3 sets of headphones given to him over the course of the flight) crew were in the main fine, they are there to keep you safe, but a smile always helps, and i felt a bit guilty for asking for a drink to be honest... luggage both wayss came off more or less last, so they probably dont do priority premium luggage anymore either, and no priority boarding on the return flight, all small things, but all chargable and we did not get them. all in all it's made us decide that the near £500 expense simply is not worth it any more, it's a shame because our first premium flight 4 years ago was fabulous- china plates, food courses served seperatley, complimentary glossy magazines and newspapers, plentiful drinks service, really well trained enthusiastic crew and generally good value. however having taken 6 holidays now using premium, i must say that all flights are different, and so i am sure our experience is not regular or . anyway, we have had our fill of long haul for a while, and are going back to 2 weeks B&B in the grek islands for september,

Darren, don't suppose you can give me some flight info on TOM2456 from manchester on 22/9/11 to heraklion? we have booked extra legroom so i'd like to know how many seats will be available to select when the time comes, many thanks...and hope you had a great trip to punta cana

What still no amenity packs ? Surely they should have ordered these by now, or stop advertising they will be issued.

As for water, on my flight to Mexico in November there wasn't any bottles in the seat pocket but I asked for several bottles during my flight had had no problem getting them. I did tell myself I wasn't going to upgrade this year due to the cost and was going to book a standard cabin extra legroom seat, however since I have only booked a flight once the hold baggage and the extra legroom seat was added to the cost if the ticket, the difference was only about £100, so I booked the premium cabin.

However if there are still no amenity packs by September, I shall be annoyed. I don't mind paying for extras as long as those extras are provided.

emmacat,

MAN-HER-MAN (TOM2456/7) should be a Boeing 757-200. You'll find a seating plan linked from our What Aircraft? guide (link below) with extra legroom seating indicated. PUJ was great thanks

Darren
