Blueup I understood that a TOM craft came north from Luton to do Fri / Sat / Sun Edinburgh schedules . Seems odd that ACE is retained but LPA is dropped .
Suspect it might be to do with amended ski Sat flights .

Hi Cazza fly!

They should all either already be, or be well on their way to being configured back to the ex TOM 283 config now. I pretty sure there is going to be more than one 767 based in Scandinavia this winter and at least one will cover the ex FCA birds while they get their cabin refresh here at LGW. With G-OBYD I flew back on her from SFB at the end of October and she was already in the 283 config

Guys I need abit of advise.
I have a holiday booked with thomson, had a letter today saying my flights have been changed by serveral hours and a change of airport, was meant to fly out:
BHX-IBZ @17:45/21.15 IBZ-BHX10:50-12:20
Been told in the letter we have been put onto MAN flights, I dont want to be changed, and all the other flight which I could go on are either different days or night flight. Where do I stand at a change of holiday or a refund?

Thanks

TOM Flight Change

As another poster has said, this constitutes a material change to your booked holiday. You are entitled I believe to a full refund or to change to an alternative date or holiday. In my experience Thomson Customer Services will allways try and offer some kind of alternative when they contact you initialy but are always happy to discuss alternatives if their suggested alternative is not suitable. Give them a call.

"Major changes to your holiday
Occasionally, we have to make major changes to the flight or accommodation making up your holiday with us. If we tell you about any of these changes after we have confirmed your holiday booking, you may either:
- accept the new arrangements offered by us; or
- accept a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or closely similar standard and price, if one is available; this can include the choice of a replacement holiday from another TUI Travel Group company. Should you choose this option the terms and conditions of your holiday will not change and these conditions will still apply to your booking.or
- cancel your holiday with us and receive a full refund of all monies paid."

A great shame. FCA's long haul hard product was by far the best in the world in terms of charter and would be up there in all operations. The seating is fantastic.

I suppose one extra set on the row wouldn't make a massive amount of difference but still, it's a shame to see the product that revitalised the long haul charter market in the UK disappear.

[MUFC_fan]

Although reading about what TOM want to do on the 787 then they're obviously wanting to raise the bar even further!

Thomson has still to reveal all, but there will be a juice bar onboard by the main doors and a 34-inch seat pitch in economy is likely.

Thomson is also promising broadband access and HD entertainment on demand. It has not yet decided the extent of the broadband technology, but there is talk of a deal with iTunes that will allow music downloads mid-air.

Thomson Airways B787 - SeatPlans.com

[TSR2]

According to the Thomson article the seating capacity is to be between 270 and 320 passengers with a 34" seat pitch in economy.

Looking at the Boeing specification for the B787-8, the seating capacity stated is between 210 and 250.

As the B787-8 is only a shade longer than the B763 I would think that Thomson may struggle to get 320 passengers in at 34" seat pitch unless they plan to increase the seating configuration across the aircraft to maybe 2-5-2.

[oldbalboy]

a/c currently planned to have 47 prem @2-3-2 and 244 economy 3-3-3 @34" pitch total 291

[TSR2]

Thanks for that oldbalboy.

Anyone know what aircraft will be based in Dublin next summer and if a 738 will they be leasing it in again, and where would I be able to find there schedule.

[pamann]

Re: Dublin

It will most certainly be a B738 and Thomson are tied into a leasing deal with Sunwing at DUB for the next couple of summers at least.

[PPRuNeUser0176]

Will that mean BFS will have the leased one as well, hope sunwing will send a better aircraft over if the above is correct.

There may be a change of schedule very soon but not sure if it going a head, but its mostly the same but with longer flying times.

[clipstone1]

well on the basis that TUI Travel owns 49% of Sunwing, I wouldn't expect that deal to end any time soon.

[Sal73x]

Hi all,
few weeks ago I heard that there would have been a flight BHX-CTA but now
I am told that Thomson will operate the flight only for TO and it is not possible to buy the flight only.

Anyone konws if the flight is still on?
Thanks

[munrobagger]

Can someone tell me why the Edinburgh winter flights to the Canaries are often an hour or more late away ? Are they Edinburgh crew or flown in from somewhere else ? Do the craft spend Fri / Sat night at EDI ? Most unlike TOM to be late away .
