Just to add to the potential 767/A330 confusion. I booked the above flight a while ago (including seat selection). Outbound is a 788 but the inbound WAS a 789, changed to a B763 a couple of weeks ago. Seats I selected for return leg are definitely a TUI 763.
Seems awfully strange to have it on a BHX rotation. Any ideas? I love the TUI 76s and would love to fly on one for the first time in 20 odd years before they retire them, but this seems too good to be true...
I'm not allowed to post a screenshot as I don't have 10 posts, but it says Aircraft Type: B767-328.
Yep, its appears to be a one off flight from BHX on the 20 May, outbound TOM7548 & inbound TOM7549 is showing as a B763. The Manchester Friday timetable shows 2 B763 are not need until May 27th, so for some reason they have decided to put the 763 on this flight, maybe due to passenger demand or 788
maintenance?? Early May flights will often see different aircraft types/flight times, whilst they get the whole fleet back in service or wait for the leased in aircraft to arrive!
