Thomson Airways

[aidoair]

so the plus class, is the old Thomson "extra" and TUI Airlines Nederlands (Arkefly) hasn't re-config'd the cabin of "YI" when it moved from TOM to TAN?

It's no longer known as Thomson Plus (longhaul economy). It's just either Thomson longhaul economy or Thomson longhaul Premium. It changed obviously during the merger with First Choice Airways where they had Star Class (longhaul economy) and Star Class Premier.

Wasn't Thomson extra from the Britannia days where you were offered extra legroom seats and a travel pack???

As for 'YI', when it left TOM it was configured with the new TOM longhaul since but no other configuration changes... As for what they have done to it since it left I don't know but seeing as though they have a 3-class product on their longhaul routes, I guess they will have added their ''Star Class'' Yes that's what it's called !

[clipstone1]

just checked the Arkefly website, they have 2 different longhaul config's, one for B763 (so their legacy aircraft) and one for B763Winglet (so YI)

Star Class has more legroom than their new Premium class, thus I think its safe to say they've not touched the config since it left TOM

As you say Thomsonfly offered "extra" seats, which is purely because the front cabin (ie between doors 1 and 2) is split partly Premium and partly standard but the result of that is those 4 or 5 row have more legroom but a standard seat.

Thomson Airways don't sell that any more with only 1 or 2 Thomsonfly aircraft operating longhaul the rest being legacy FC aircraft, where the while front cabin is Premium

What metal will Thomson be using on their flights to Kos this summer from MAN? I believe there is one flight on Wed and two on Sat?

Three new B737-800s due this year. The first due for delivery (to EMA in the first instance) tomorrow.

73H

LGS6753

Why East Mids first instead of Luton?

Any final confirmation of the summer 2011 aircraft placements?

Mainly interested in BHX - summer 2010 was 1 x 73H, 3 x 757 & 1 x 763
plus part unit for long-haul.

Pete,

I'm not an insider in this case, so can't answer your questions. It does seem odd for a delivery to be made to EMA rather than LTN.

[OliWW]

The new 73H was in at EMA today on delivery, not tomorrow, and soon continued it journey to LTN!!

What is Thomson doing in relation to the Egypt situation?

To those who are wondering what happened to their posts and don't read or can't understand the plain language of the stickies at the forum head.

The Airlines, Airports and Routes forum is NOT customer service.

If you bought your ticket from an organization that can't or won't give you information regarding your flight then welcome to the world of 'discount services'. That not only means a cheaper ticket, it means you don't get any of those non-discount goodies like answers to your questions.

We STRONGLY suggest that you contact the airline in question because this forum is not the place to seek those answers. Passengers and SLF forum MIGHT be but why trust an answer from an anonymous website?

Cheers,
The Mods

TOM flights will be on ANA between weeks 9-12... so 3 to 5 weeks and all flights will appear...

767's

The 767 fleet currently stands at 12.

6 ex-FCA - all of which are configured for LH (258 seats).

7 ex-Thomsonfly - 6 of which are configured for SH/MH (328 seats) and 1 (G-OBYJ) configured for LH (283 seats).

G-OBYJ is supposed to be leaving the fleet in April so what will take its place flying LH? Looking at the summer schedules there doesn't seem to be any drop in LH flights this summer compared to last so will they be using a SH configured aircraft or re-configuring one?

[MUFC_fan]

Was an LH aircraft buzzing around Europe at some point last summer? I seem to recall...

[787Heaven]

All the ex TFly 767s are interchangeable between LH and SH. Shame shes going shes the baby of the 76 fleet.

I flew on G-OBYE across the pond a few weeks ago and she was certainly LH configured???

BHX had a second based 767 last summer for medium/short haul at quite short notice. Is that the one you're thinking of?

[oldbalboy]

all the TOM 767 are configured to l/h for winter then most revert back to s/h 328 in summer
