I was just looking at Boeing 787 Dreamliner Flight Tracker (http://flighttracker.newairplane.com/) to see the 787s currently in the air, and noticed G-TUIA was flying TOM832 from Copenhagen to the Dominican Republic.

According to Flight Aware it also flew the same route on the 12th of December.

I guess this is some kind of training flight?

What would make you guess that? Could it not be a regular passenger charter?

I just couldn't believe Thomson would operate a charter from Denmark to DR? Unless it's a charter for another TUI airline...

Quick question to the experts on here, I'm flying to Jamaica on January 16th from Gatwick on TOM018, is the service usually a Boeing 787 ?

Not sure why it's TOM and not BLX though. Maybe because it's TOM crews operating them.
