Aircraft are not assigned specific bases at all,during summer or winter. They are rotated around bases generally for engineering purposes. Durations vary at each base.

oceanhawk,
I am fully aware of this. I did not mean which specific aircraft (i.e. registrations). I simply meant which types of aircraft and how many of each type (i.e. 738, 752, etc).

I can't understand the logic of airlines trying to steal market share by doing things like that, going head to head with TCX, why not offer different destinations, more variety for passengers and still offering competition instead of going straight into the exact same routes!? How much would it have hurt Thomson to maybe do STN-Puerto Vallarta and STN-Punta Cana/Montego Bay?
Unless London - Orlando/Cancun is a drastically underserved market

I can see what you mean Skipness, suppose it does make sense but Gatwick is still a TOM stronghold just as TCX is going after Manchester, but from a customer perspective I'd rather have more choice
EDIT: Thomson is still also way ahead in terms of the country as a whole, doubt if Thomas Cook could ever come near them in terms of size long haul

TOM are concentrating on beach destinations from the main airports and some regional.
Nice to see Thomson resuming Luxor flights from LGW in November and MAN further down the line.
Having just had a long holiday in the region I can assure everyone that security is very tight. At Luxor airport there are at least 4 security check points including random explosive checks on hand luggage.
I really hope the Nile Cruise industry picks up as sailing down the Nile is an experience of a lifetime and an excellent way to see Egypt.
