At the moment there are at least 10 flights without an assigned aircraft type
Yes but thats not because they are waiting to see how well a very specific flight sells, and would knock the rest of the schedule to pot.

"Thomson has yet to confirm the layout or seating products for its Dreamliner aircraft" I can only comment on my awful experiences flying with Thomson.

Nice Livery. Don't think we will see the 767's with the Thomson livery without the fly.com then

Have to say it looks fantastic, well done Thomson.

MON & TCX and even to an extent VS are going to have to seriously update their long haul product to compete with this.

Don't forget, price is a great leveller. The vast majority of leisure passengers have no clue what airline, let alone what type of aircraft they will be travelling on at the time of booking.

Yes, looks good but it would appear to show the Premium seating. What will the economy seating look like?

If MON are still going to do longhaul that is.

Hi, can anyone remember if on the route MAN-CTA (Sicily)
has always been used a 737 or if by any chance up to 2008 it used to be a 767???

I have been using the route for few years now and just started my "Flight diary".
It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I believe TOM/BY have been operating the MAN-CTA since summer 2006 with a B737 (of some description or other), prior to that this summer only route was operated only by MON (usually A321 or B757) and TCX (B757).

LONG HAUL FLIGHTS

Hi guys, I'm flying MAN-CUN in the next few weeks and just wondering whether the longhaul flights are operated on the ex FCA 767's or the TOM ones? I've seen some pictures of the ex FCA ones and seem a rather good. Wondering how they compare to the TOM 767's ?

MAN-CUN will be on a legacy FCA config aircraft....

The new Thomson livery appears on the first B763 next week.....so we won't be waiting until B788 delivery to see the new "wave" scheme

Similar question to the above. Have booked Premium seats on TOM118 & 119 from MAN to Holguin on Sat 26th May. Layout for seats was 2-3-2 even in economy. Is this ex FCA or Thomfly?

If you want I shall make a New Thomson Livery thread like there is for Monarch in the spotters corner section.

Good idea. It could then be discussed why a company that has 6 aircraft delivered in the last 2 months doesn't have the foresight to launch the new livery in time for them and be forced to repaint within a year, in times where they say operating conditions are still not good.
