Benleigh,
Boeing 757-200's are used on trans-atlantic flights on a daily basis. For example, American Airlines operate two per day from Chicago and New York in to Manchester, and Continental (United) Airlines two from Newark in to Manchester. Thomas Cook also operate them to Toronto in the summer in a 187 seat configuration. They were designed for trans-continental flights in America with hot and high capabilities to succeed the 727 and once ETOPS rated, have no problem carrying out long haul flights. Iron Maiden, Captained by lead singer Bruce Dickinson are using an Astraeus 752 on tour at the moment on a round the world trip! Before the Boeing 767's joined the fleet, Britannia (that became Thomsonfly / Thomson Airways) used them regularly to Orlando and the Caribbean with a technical stop in Bangor. They have a range of 4,500 miles in a low density configuration. With the heavier weights in the higher density configuration, the range is limited, hence the technical stop enroute but they are more than capable of operating the flights.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or if I just can't find the answer anywhere else. I am trying to find out the prices of duty free cigarettes on Thomson longhaul planes. I am going to the Dominican in June and I would like to compare them to the airport prices. I have tried google and can't seem to find any prices.
Looking for "deals" on their 400 packs. I remember last year there was a great offer and just wanted to check this out.
Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks
Emily
I posted a price list here. It varies slightly depending on departure airport but it'll give you an idea. Alternatively, you'll find the online version of Thomsons inflight retail range here. I think the tobacco page is 37-38. In general, there's not a lot of difference in prices between the flight and airport. If anything, they're slightly cheaper on the flight.

Can you tell me if the in flight entertanment is out for thomson flight to dominican going from newcastle on the 21st may for 2 weeks leaving at 10.45
IFE for May won't be released until next week. I'll link it from our What Aircraft? guide (link below) once it's known.

Just been able to book my seat today for my Manchester to Sanford flight on the 21/07/2011, been told its a 2 - 3 - 2 configuration so I assume this is a FCA?

Hi Dazbo can you tell me the plane for Manchester to Marsa Alam Egypt please.
What date? Or at least day of the week and summer or winter? I need something to work with! It's likely to be a Boeing 757-200 regardless.
Darren
Sorry, Thursday August 2011.
Garry_Nutter,
Where will I be able to find out prices of cigarettes etc for Thomson duty free flights?
http://Thomson.inbro.net and find the inflight brochure all the latest prices are now found
If you go to
Tracy1971,
I have just booked a flight to Cancun departing Friday 10th June, 09.15 TOM062 from Gatwick.
Do you know what plane it will be, presumably 767 but type and if ex FCA?
Also would you know where the plane is coming in from before this flight?
And also our return flight is TOM075 on Tuesday 21st June. Will this be the same plane?
Thanks in anticipation, you guys are so knowledgable!
I know it sounds a silly question but why do so many people want to know where their plane is coming from before they get on it? ar some places more prne to having delays or something? I just thought i'd ask.
It's just so you know if you can expect a delay or not. It won't make any difference to when you check-in as even with a delay of several hours, you need to check-in at the scheduled time, but it's just about information and knowing if things are on time or not. Delays can happen for any number of reasons. Nowhere is more prone to anywhere else.
Darren
thanks & sorry,
LGW-CUN-LGW (TOM062/75) are operated by an ex-FCA Boeing 767-300/ER. The aircraft should come in from Cancun (TOM093).
Darren
Does anyone know which aircraft will be flying TOM2730/2731 on the 12/19th June, Manchester Paphos please?
Many thanks
