timetable

Just a word of warning 're the timetable - it might be easy to use but fairly useless as it has not been updated for a while.

Summer 2015 have flights that have long been cancelled or consolidated or changed times and the last time I looked winter 2015-16 the flight times looked very odd at some airports.

Use the flight only facility or try a dummy holiday booking. The 787 is usually marked.

TOM186 - MAN - CUN

Hello!

Quick question... Does anyone know what 787 will be assigned to TOM186 MAN - CUN this Thursday, 22nd Jan?


The reason I ask is that I have read (on trip advisor of all places) that all of Thomson's 787's are having their Premium Club seats replaced due to problems with the size of the arm rests impacting getting in/out of the seats... and G-TUIA has already had them replaced, the rest to follow over the next few months.


I'm flying out in Premium Club this Thursday so am wondering if I'll be lucky enough to get to try out the new seats!

Cheers,
Mike

Sorry mtj I cannot help you but thanks for the good news about the seat replacement. After trying 787 Premium last year I swore never again unless they changed the setup.

Alternative already booked for this year so maybe I'll give it another tty in 2016.

What have they changed about the seats? also are they simply replacing 1:1 old for new or reconfiguring the cabin slightly?, blurb on the website does say something about increased space.

The centre console no longer protudes beyond seat level, they recline further, the seat base moves forward when you recline, and the IFE is seatback. Still 2-3-2 configuration.

technically same pitch but design of seat does mean it looks more spacious, the seat is more stream lined giving more legroom & narrower armrests as IFE in seat back so more seat cushion width.

Sounds like some good improvements, and nice to see that Thomson have listened to feedback.

Does anybody have any pictures of the new seats?

Interesting about the new seats. When I spoke to our crew last year they said that the extended armrests were as a result of customer feedback that overwhelmingly asked for power sockets to be provided and this was the only way that it could be done.

So the question is, have they now found another way or are the sockets a thing of the past?

I'd take 'customer feedback' with a pinch of salt with Thomson. They often use it as an excuse for various negative changes. I would say the seat change is because they messed up the first time in the design. It was never supposed to have been like that but it was installed before anyone realised. That from the mouth of someone who was actively involved with the operation.

I'd imagine that the leisure market doesn't necessarily have a demand for a power socket, but more for a USB socket which is built into the IFE screens.
