Great News
Fantastic news!
I have a plan, to get more routes into Newcastle, let's get Skyman771 to say what a crazy idea it is and how irrational everyone is. I reckon it will work a treat....
Just wish he could use some of this magic on the MME thread...

Realistically is there any chance if more regular (scheduled) Montego Bay flights from Newcastle and any other Caribbrean/Mexico flights. Specifically Cuba and Puerto Vallarta?
TOM dont do Cuba, which could be a slight problem

Thomson flights are charter, you won't see a scheduled link unless it's Thomas Cook, their long haul flights are scheduled.

Well, buy scheduled I meant not cruise flights... i.e more than 1 flight per month
If Sanford and Cancun were at some point in the foreseeable future to end up x2 weekly each I think bi-weekly Puerto Vallarta could become feasible from TOM. And whatever happened to the Dominican Republic??? Thomas Cook and Virgin Atlantic would be our only hopes for a Cuba service... So all but hopeless.
Can anyone confirm what this new Dubai deal means for the Thomson cruise craic? If the ship is relocating to Dubai does that compliment our current Barbados/Montego Bay cruise charters or does it replace one of them?

The Thomson Celebration will be relocating to Dubai from Dubrovnik where she will again be home ported during the summer 2016 season prior to moving to Dubai for the 2016/2017 winter season.
For anyone that's interested.
Summer season ship deployments for the Thomson Cruises fleet are as follows ship and port.
Thomson Celebration, Dubrovnik
Thomson Discovery, Palma (new ship, ex Splendour of the Sea RCCL)
Thomson Dream, Corfu
Thomson Majesty, Palma
Thomson Spirit, Malaga

Ah so will the new ship, the discovery, allow Thomson to continue to do their normal winter Caribbean quota along with the new Dubai cruises? i.e we should have Barbados, Montego Bay and Dubai cruise flights from TOM for 2016/2017?

Thomas Cook website showing Mexico as a destination, but unable to select anything after that. Probably reading too much into it, but could we see them taking an allocation on the new TOM flights?

With regards to your question, yes Thomson Cruises will have both the Thomson Discovery and the Thomson Dream based in the Caribbean during the winter 2016/2017 season so your still probably have the cruise charters as has been the case in the past along with the forthcoming 2015/2016 season of flights.

Think you have to remember that the TOM 787s long haul are all about going direct now.
So with NCL having only a 7,600ft runway some destinations like Cuba may be out of reach direct ?

The 787 can make it out of NCL to the Caribbean with no issues. Cuba is a shorter flight that Cancun.
Looking at the Specs. On a dry and normal day the 788 can depart NCL at a TOW of 460,000lbs. If TOM use the higher thrust variant we're looking at about 485,000lbs. Shouldn't be a problem for the Caribbean as you're looking around 450,000lbs max.

Not that small..
check out the 787 specs and it gives take off distances and range.
Your looking at about 9,000ft even on a 787 to get to Cuba direct .

As has been said, Cuba is a shorter flight than CUN, so the 787 should be able to do it nonstop from NCL without a problem.
Of course, it's rather unlikely to happen on a regular basis anytime soon
