Thomsons fly to Cancun Mexico
 

Has anyone any details on this service and what aircraft they fly, also would like to know seating arragements and any info on the new seating on offer, ie: more seat space/legroom?:ugh:

When you off Boniface? - I am on TOM3847 on 17SEP LGW CUN - so I would also in interested to know the cabin features etc.

The increased legroom doesnt come into effect until May 2007.

Best bet guys is to try to get premium extra leg room and enhanced entertainment food and of course all your drinks otherwise try to get row 6 (row behind premium) or row 15. try to avoid row 17 & 34 as these area bulkhead seats and while they are 'extra legroom' you cant strech out your legs.

The aircraft will be a 767-300 premium configured aircraft with 315 seats. If ya need to know anymore then PM me.

Hope this helps!

767-300Seat Plan Thomsons
 

Hi, thanks for info, looked at Premium upgarde, but mega-bucks from Gatwick, you could book another holiday for that money, looked at configuration on above seat plan, but this surely will not take into consideration, the new seat sizes being introduced next May, which I may add I'm flying the 2nd of May, hopefully this will be introduced by then or the lovely Mrs will not be happy. I have assured her that the aircraft should all be up-graded by then!!

Before I forget, what meals do you actually get on this flight?

Being ex-RAF, I'd be happy with a few sandwiches, maybe some custard creams! However, others in our group need this info in advance, so they can control themselves on the ground and not eat too many burgers........:8

I have assured them you should at least get a main meal and a snack meal before you land, please confirm.

Many thanks

Hi, I think the new cabins are being confirgured for the winter 2007 not for the summer will check for ya and confirm. Meals on board (looking at this summer may change by then) is Chicken Carbonara with Bacon (!) really nice as far as airline goes - never have any complaints only compliments!!! then before landing you get an light afternoon tea so small sandwich, scone with clotted cream and jam and Ice Cream. On way back again hot meal then a light cold breakfast before landing. Snacks are available on board but if you think you will need more to eat make sure you bring some little extras esp on way back as we don't uplift stock down route!

Anything else you wanna know please feel free to ask!

Which routes do the 73's based at MAN fly?? Will they be putting any 800's in there??

Thomson to Cancun
 

Does anyone know, or can confirm that the new seating will actually be in place for all long haul in May 2007? My partner is seriously contemplating changing our present booking to FC just for the seat back t.v. So I really would appreciate any update as soon as possible before our flights next May(2nd). We went with Vigin this year to Florida and having the seat back made a long flight shorter.

IMPORTANT QUESTION:

Regarding short haul and long haul flights, Is the winter programme ´06-'07 (ex LGW) going to be busier than last one? I hope so, as we´ve got more planes!

Boniface,

Sorry I gave you inaccurate information in my last post the new cabins will indeed be ready for summer 2007 and not winter 2007 as i said! Hope you enjoy the new cabins and service! All very exciting!

With the new routes from EMA announced yesterday, anyone know what aircraft will be based at EMA next summer?

15.09.06
Holiday airline advertising LINK removed will run an additional 28 low fare routes next summer, it has announced. The airline is adding 11 scheduled routes from Manchester, six from Gatwick, four from East Midlands, three from Luton, two from Bournemouth and one from Cardiff.
A spokesman for Thomsonfly claims it will be offering more routes from Manchester Airport than any other airline. Fares from Manchester start at £19.99 one-way, with flights operating at least four times a week.
The new routes are:

Manchester to Salzburg, Venice, Naples, Dubrovnik, Faro, Paphos, Mahon, Tenerife, Corfu, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote,

Gatwick to Paphos, Mahon, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, Corfu

East Midlands to Alicante, Ibiza, Mahon and Paphos

Luton to Prague, Corfu and Paphos

Bournemouth to Valencia and Prague

Cardiff to Faro

Additional routes for summer 2007 will also be announced and on sale soon, the airline spokesman said.

Rumous has it one of each - 757, 767-200 and a 737 anyone out there confirm this?

Does anyone know if another 737 will be based at CWL next year:ok:

With FAO x4 weekly, JER hopefully being used on a TOM a/c rather than RE. And other new routes apparently soon to be announced, its looking as if another 737 will be at CWL. The current 733 already has a full schedule, its hardly on the ground!
Does anyone know if there will be a part summer based 762 at CWL next yr now that GBYIF/IG have gone?

a/c type wanted
 

Please can anyone tell me the a/c type for the following-

Thu 02 nov 2006 (TOM4173) LGW-LPA.
Thu 09 nov 2006 (TOM4174) LPA-LGW.

Im off on my hols for abit of winter sun :cool: .

From the cargo schedule I get....

TOM4173 02/11/06 to be a 752
TOM4174 09/11/06 to be a 762

MEE/ Thanks alot seems odd 757 out 767 back but thank god its not 737.

Just pray they don't change the aircraft, they might just leave your luggage at Gatters. Seems to be the 'in' thing with Thomson at the mo.
