767's Summer 2012 season
Hi,
Does anyone know which Thomson 767's are going to be longhaul and which (if any) will be configured shorthaul this Summer? I know last year they had 3 767's in short haul configuration but things may have changed this year. Also, if there are any doing short haul this summer, does anyone know which routes, flight numbers etc. they will be operated on
Many thanks

6 x ex FCA aircraft operating long haul (From the end of May)
4 x ex TOM operating shorthaul (From the end of May)
Notes from above, two aircraft still away for cabin refitting, AN due back anytime soon and i believe BM needs to go, hence why there will be 1 ex TOM on longhaul until the end of May.
MAN - 5x 767's in total (3 ex TOM, 2 ex FCA)
LGW - 3x 767's in total (1 ex TOM, 2 ex FCA)
EMA/BHX/GLA/NCL/BRS/EDI - Share 2 other long haul aircraft
Routes (Short Haul)
MAN - Egypt, Dalaman, Antalya, Corfu, Crete, Mahon, Palma, Ibiza, Cyprus
TIP - (Two routes from MAN are operated by an ex FCA 767, one being Thursday TOM104/5 to SSH and the other being Wednesday (cant remember if it was Arrecife or Rhodes off the top of my head) This is a heads up as people are unhappy they have paid £50 each for extra legroom when really they dont need it
LGW - Egypt, Dalaman, Corfu, Cyprus, Crete.
This was last updated in Jan 2012, so possibly a few changes after this. The only bit I am not sure on is entertainment, I know the last time i asked there were plans to activate seat back screens on selected flights but again this was in Feb/March so could have changed.
Sorry i am not able to confirm any more flight numbers it would take a long time to go through them all. One of the best ways to find out which aircraft your flight is being operated by is checking out libhomeradar and running a search after 1st May.

Hi,
Many thanks for the detailed information below. We are hoping to be on a 767 this summer on our flight to Antalya. I will check libhomeradar closer to the time and see what a/c is operating.....
Does seem interesting and a bit unfair people paying for extra legroom though on the longhaul operated 767's... wouldnt be very happy if i was them!
Many thanks again..

787 legroom
The Thomson 787 ads for next year headline that the 787 will provide extra legroom for pax.
However, in the small print it says this claim is based on premium class getting 38" instead of 36"
Am i right to presume then that standard economy will get no extra legroom on the 787. If so, it hardly "changes" the standard of comfort for transatlantic travel. Is it still 33" for standard accross the entire TOM fleet?

>>>>>The launch of the 787 Dreamliner in the UK is set to create aviation jobs.
They would have created more with RR stamped on the engines.
But I do like the new colour scheme!

Thomson long haul
Just back from a week in Florida. Booked a cheap (£218 return inc taxes) Thomson flight to SFB, with some trepidation. Last time I flew long haul with them was 1994 when they flew to MCO, and I remember it being a miserable experience, and since then I have always gone scheduled with BA/Virgin or one of the American carriers.
I have to give them credit where it is due, the whole experience was great, at least as good, and probably better than most scheduled economy flights. Check in at both ends quick and efficient. Legroom better than most. IFE a bit dated, but OK. Flights ahead of schedule, both ways.
Will certainly use them again.
