    I flew VS last year from LAX on the A346! Nothing Special IMHO, Crew didn’t seem that enthusiastic, Very Pretty though! Ive heard that VS are not very happy with the A346 and are looking to replace them!

    Was about to say the same thing! There is naff all to see at NCL apart from the same daily flow of Flybe, Eastern and Easyjets! Unless you one of those spotters who gets turned on when the airlines swap there based Aircraft around! :rolleyes:

    Didn’t DSA have a 757 based once and also a 767 doing the Ibiza route ?
    Well im flying on the Monday it says 733 im just wondering if it may changed to a 738 WL.

    They may have in the past had a 757 based really couldn’t tell you! I know TOM do put there widebodys on some of the European Runs in the summer but again im not sure if IBZ is one of them!

    If the IBZ flight is set for 733 thats pretty much what you’ll be getting!

    I am wondering if my flight will be on the winglet 733 ?
    When is G-FDZT due, im wondering what DSA are having based anyway this summer ? last year was 2 733’s and 1 738 WL. Is this summer the same ?

    Like i said they only have one 733W, I doubt its been decided where she is to be based come the summer, they normally get moved about a bit.

    G-FDZT is due i think towards the middle of the summer not sure.

    As far as im aware that will it will be the same aircraft types based at DSA this summer! With a 767 postioning in to operate Long Haul.

    Well they have nearly finished the 757’s im wondering if the 767’s and Airbuses will get the blue treatment for summer ?

    As far as im aware the Plan is to get all the 767’s fitted with Winglets, so im guessing they will just get painted in Due Course. They all have “Operated by Thomsons” stickers on them at the moment Next to Doors 2!

    I have booked yes actually booked a flight from DSA-IBZ-DSA on 5th July.
    I know i am flying on a 737-300 series but im wondering if it will be winglet or non winglet series.
    Im also confused regarding flight time as it says 2 hours 55 minutes, im sure Ibiza is not that far.
    Also on web ana avation site some Doncaster flights show us 73c, what does that mean ? I know 73H is a 737-800.

    TOM only have one 737-300W My fav 737 G-THOO, at the moment she is working out of Dublin, with the odd trip to DSA on W patterns! Aint got a clue where she will be based come the Summer season.

    73C i think proberly stands for a 737 but yet to be confirmed what version

    You mean Ryanair or Ryan Air International from the USA? I can’t see BA swallowing its price and accepting Ryanair’s help. It would give Ryanair too much ammunition for a new PR campaign.

    Ooops sorry about that! I mean Ryanair! They have indeed as the above poster has stated let BA use Three aircraft for the LGW Shuttle Flights!

    Does anyone know which JET2 737 may operate my Leeds-Rome flight on 29th August. Does each 737 have a different capacity ?

    You have got to be joking??? Jet2.com have 23 737’s in there fleet! They change them round the bases on a regular basis! You really want us to look into our cystal balls and tell you the exact AirFrame your going to be flying on in 6 Months Time! Seriously??????

    In my experiences all of There 737’s have the same capacity that includes the QC aircraft!

    Not taking the mick in any way possible!

    Why is it so Vital that you know what your flying on! It will be a plane with two Engines and some seats, If you haved booked your flight with TCX Flick a few pages into your Ticket Booklet and it will tell you!
