Will they be operating their fleet of 767ER during the summer season for the UK to Sandford Florida route or will they continue to operarte the 757-200 as of late?
Due to fly BRS to SFB in August 08 and curious to know due to the in flight entertainment system offered on the 767.
If anyone knows I would appreciate a reply.

The intention would always to operate this route with a 767. I guess that unserviceability has required the use of a 757 over the last week or so.
If you are travelling in Aug 08, expect a 767-300ER with the decent leg-room and the IFE.
Hope this helps.

watch out - you might well get the 767, but we came back from Puerto Plata last Saturday on a Thomson 767 instead, that had 4 across and not 3, and no seat back IFE - just the screens in the aisle....
and no-one can tell me whether that was a "one off", or if FCA and Thomson are going to do this more regularily, now they are one company.
It was interesting that the Thomson inflight magazine had a full page on the new Thomson 787 Dreamliner that they had on order, so I guess that won't be in FCA colours any more!

All the long haul ex BRS is due to be operated by FCA 767’s. At the moment from BRS on Monday’s it goes to POP then SFB on Tuesday, though this changes soon. The 767 got ‘stuck’ in POP due to a fuel shortage and was 24hrs delayed returning to BRS so a 757 was used for the Tuesdays BRS-SFB-BRS, not ideal but sure beats 24hrs at a hotel in BRS.
For details of their IFE go to the First Choice site and in the search box type ‘starclass’.
