Trip Report - Thomson B787-8 Dreamliner Manchester (MAN) - Bridgetown Barbados (BGI)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- On Sunday 19th February 2017 we travelled with Thomson onboard one of their 787-8 dreamliners from Manchester EGCC to Bridgetown, Barbados.
After arriving at Manchester airport terminal 2 we headed to the Thomson check in area. We were able to use premium check in so it made our check in process much quicker and easier. Once checked in we headed through to security which was the longest and most annoying part of the airport process, taking 30 minutes to pass through.
Boarding commenced roughly around 45 minutes before departure we was quite early however we were made to wait on the jetbridge. However being one of the first people to board you see the cabin with no one in, offering a good perspective of the cabin. The cabin itself was very spacious and open with the huge windows on the 787 making the cabin feel brighter. The seats themselves were again very spacious and comfortable set out in a 3-4-3 layout. We were seated in an 'extra legroom seat' which does what it states on the tin, gives you extra legroom. There was a noticeable difference in legroom which was a great benefit and added more comfort as the flight went on being able to stretch out that extra bit. The IFE system onboard was very impressive with a great variety of latest and classic movies along with tv programmes, games and music. The meal was nothing special however was adequate.A drinks service was made several times throughout the flight and the free drinks on long haul services are a great feature by Thomson. The crew onboard were very attentive and the service flowed throughout the flight. Overall it was a very pleasant flight onboard the 787, an aircraft and airline we will definitely be flying on again soon.

I've been on one and it is at another level of beauty
Imagine fast forwarding the part where the plane actually gets into the air!
Me being someone who’s always found planes fascinating, last year I had arrived in Cyprus on a 737 and got my little brother to ask if he can have a look in the cockpit and I would go with him just for ‘supervision’ you know and although I have been in multiple plane cockpits and been in some retired ones and played with all the controls, every time you go in one it just feels like the first time and the amount of buttons and controls is crazy. I then went to Egypt 2 months later on a 787 and got my brother to do the same thing and it was just amazing seeing that these 2 people could control a 180 tonne aircraft with 300 people in it
Went from Birmingham to Barbados last year it was a superb plane to fly on.
hope you enjoyed your trip :-)
I took this same flight on 16th December 2016 - before clicking on this video I was really hoping it was going to be of the actual flight I took - just a few weeks before this one - but either way it's nice to have your video to look back on what was a really pleasant flight (and back), I've hardly flown long haul so it was a treat (I'm a bit of a geek), although to be fair one of my only others was upstairs on a 747 (-200 I think - Virgin, 1996) to LA and then back on an an A340-300 so I've been lucky in those respects. I had in my head that we flew on G-TUID but this is just from memory and it might've been one of the others or even IE - I'm not sure. Someone else said about the 3 centre seats - the binnacle mouldings above have four lights and ventilation spouts too I think for the carriers who go 3-4-3. I'm gutted I didn't ask to go in the flight deck I didn't realise it was even a possibility. I was alone (rest of family were up front but no seat for me up there as our party booked the last seats but they were one short) so I took seat C on row something like 23 to be relatively close to a source of alcohol but not in the extra legroom or too close to the lavs. My family enjoyed free drinks but in Premium, but for me in standard economy I had to pay, I remember at the time this having been a recently introduced policy, or perhaps it was just for P&O charters or something? Not sure if yours were free because of the upgrade to extra legroom or if it wasn't a P&O flight? The guy next to me wasn't happy when I started watching the Sully movie on my iPad mid flight. Not sure if you transferred to the cruise terminal or if if you were staying on Barbados, but I was disappointed to see your video didn't document the cruise terminal transfer procedure, which frankly astounded and amused me hugely: 787 stops in some far corner of the airfield away from the terminal (towards the Concorde hanger in fact), we all deplane via steps, hop on one of a fleet of minibuses on the tarmac no more than 50 feet from the 787, wait for a guard to open a really shoddy chain link gate with a single knackered old rusty padlock, drive straight out onto the highway and then on to the cruise terminal on public roads - still technically airside yet alighting at any time would not have proved difficult! And the most laid back bus drivers ever, always always giving way and instead of putting a hand up to say thanks to someone letting them through, they put their hand up in a V (like victory) and say 'peace' aloud. I do this in the UK now but it hasn't caught on yet. Did you go on the Concorde tour? I loved it, my other half was dreading it but she loved it too. Also we stopped in St. Maarten and unbelievably I was unable to go to Princess Juliana since I was struck down with what they told me was Norovirus - even worse an Air France A340(-300 I think) took off whilst we were there. I had to settle for waiting for it to appear over the mountains over which they climb out, but flying towards me as the ship we were on was docked over the other side of the hills from the airport - all just from the cabin balcony on the ship :(
You're probably my favourite UA-camr, because you're from Manchester and I've always wanted a flight report from Manchester on the B787 Dreamliner. :)
thanks very much! :-)
Mr Unknown go to Tenerife with thomson
7 d 5k3h

Wow busy at Manchester 😂 love TUI aswell what an airline!
Great video thanks for sharing. Will be flying on the Thomson Dreamliner later this year for the first time, can't wait.
thanks, have a great trip! :-)
They allowed you in the cockpit ! Lucky
Great that you could get in the cockpit, And I have been in the cockpit of an a330 MRTT.
That large check in area reminds me of Palma and Gatwick's HUGE TUI check in areas
yes, TUI's check in area at MAN takes up almost half of the check in desks in the morning
Never flown out of MAN before so I'll take your word for it
These videos are so good man keep it up!
Don’t listen to those haters I enjoyed your video I actually prefer videos without music because 9/10 the music is terrible and I like hearing everything to actually know what to expect so 👏 bravo
Sound was intolerable but great video. we are flying the Thomson(TUI) Dreamliner when going to Tenerife in may 2018. Cant wait!
great vid, the Dreamliner looks stunning we are flying on one from Manchester to Menorca in July.
its a great aircraft, thanks for watching! :-)
Flew home to Manchester on this plane , loved it
glad you had a good flight
Amazing!
Thank you for uploading this! I'm going to Florida and I've only ever flown once when I was very young and so I have no idea how to navigate around Manchester airport! These kind of videos really help :)
our pleasure. MAN is very easy to navigate, especially T2 as its just one long straight
MT Aviation thank you so much!
Next time book Premium, this provides fast track through security and much wider seats with more leg room as well as many other bonuses.
Fantastic trip report! Loved it!! Can't wait to see another one!! Liked!!!
You had good movies and a nice seating area. We had rubbish movies.
luck of the draw i think. hopefully you enjoyed your holiday
You were sitting in 11A?? Wow! I was on a TUI 787-9 just a few days ago, on the same side of the aircraft and directly over the wing, just a fraction forward of the trailing edge...and I was in 21A. I knew that the -9 variant was a good bit longer than the -8 but I would never have believed it to be as starkly noticeable as it clearly is!
Why are you fast forwarding the interesting bits?
And the weird sound effects wtf
Have to say I'm fairly new to your channel. But what an excellent one it is. Really superb
thanks James, hope you stick around, got more videos every wednesday and sunday at 19:00 UK time. Plus big plans for the summer! :-)
I’m not going on one of these for another year but I can’t stop talking about it 😂
Most of this video was about the absolutely horrendous walk to the plane in Manchester. With its endless corridors & tunnels, the terrible nightmare of UK flight departures needs to be rectified.The F/F was making the point I am sure. You could feel the panic in those being followed to the aircraft. I'm amazed on this one that anyone made the flight at all. Then all the touch-screen twittiness on the plane. That, not very Brit. I would think.
You spoilt it by fast forwarding
Agreed! If he was still adamant he was going to Fast Forward it, maybe some music would of been better than listening to the recording in FF mode lol
T Greene yes. Everyone knows that you don’t fast forward in takeoff and you don’t show half empty food
Oh right I fast forwarded the fast forwarding. This video is boring and shit.
just annoying that Thomas cook don't let their customers know the reason why they've pulled the flight.. thnx anyway, and keep the videos coming......
I enjoyed your video...beautiful plane, excellent filming, thanks!
thanks very much
I travelled on this same g-tuie from Phuket to manchester
Excelente jato Excelente Vídeo
parabéns 😊😊😊😊
thank you :-)
Older than two years that plane mate, I flew to punta Cana on that plane in October 2014
Awesome trip report!
thank you! :-)
8:24 I got a chance to seat in the cockpit of a 787 Dreamliner myself
Awesome video very entertaining!!!
thanks! :-)
Great trip report, very enjoyable! :)
thanks, more to come in the future :-)
Stunning
thanks! :-)
Looks like a new plane at the time
Fantastic amount of space. I flew on Qatar 787 it was 10 abreast rather than 9...very cramped and uncomfortable
Alan Jackson that would have been a 777, Qatar is 9 abreast on their 787s. The 787 was originally designed for 8 abreast and is now a tight 9 abreast with a 17inch seat width as is the 777 at 10 abreast
@@peterfinn6098 yes you are correct 9 abreast but originally designed for 8..typo. 787 very cramped on Qatar in economy. I would never fly on that aircraft again. Their 777 are great.
We need two hand rests. One not enough for two people to share.
Hello it was a nice change to have the economy filmed instead of the others. Do u get the tooth brushes etc bits in this section like in the premium section. i flight out too jamaica this may but from gatwick ?
no, in economy you don't get an amenity kit, thanks for watching
Ok Thank you for quick reply
When you fly to Bridgetown Barbados is it always a Dreamliner with tui?
yes, all of tui's long haul routes are operated by the 787 dreamliner
I'm going on holiday on a Thomson plane today at 14:10 not joking
Nice video! However...just a note for next time you fly, Matthew...please don't speed up the video for the flight.. actually would of loved to see/hear the engines..but apart from that..great video!
Why are you putting weird sound effects when the engine was powering? Thats literally the best sound
In economy class Were the drinks readily available throughout the flight? Or only at meal times,for example i flew to new york with virgin and throughout the flight soft drinks and alcholic drinks (excluding champagne) were free and readily available for you. Thanks!
yes, on TUI, drinks are the same as on Virgin
Hi there, i was surprised to see you allowed in the cockpit with a camera i thought that was all stopped, because of terrorism, i'm a solo lady passenger, and have been on this plane before, i had always wanted to see what the cockpit was like, i asked the stewardess and was told that this was no longer allowed for the reasons said. i now wonder was she right??
hi Sheila. If you ask during the flight to look after landing, most captains are ok, but you can't go in the flight deck during the flight after 9-11. Sometimes if the crew have a short turn around, they won't allow passengers in but I've never not been allowed when asked
Oh yeah and I'm going to Gran Canaria so it will take around about 4 hours
Personally I prefer Qatar’s 787-8. Great Video though !!
Amazing, how long was the flight? I'll be flying Glasgow to Barbados this year:)
around 10 hours, but depends on winds, so can be longer or shorter than that and the way home is usually around an hour less. Thanks for watching! :-)
Great video, are you a pilot yourself ?
Is there enough room in standard seating to walk past the person sat In your row ?
I'd say that's objective, but TUI give equal to or more legroom than 95% of carriers their long haul aircraft
Glasgow Scotland
to Barbados
I thought the TUI Dreamliner economy seat pitch is 32" standard, unlike the old 767s which were 33".
all info was correct at the time of recording and publication. they may have reconfigured the aircraft since
@@MTAviation I think they may have reconfigured the aircraft when it was rebranded to TUI as last night I discovered an official video of the Thomson Dreamliner that mentioned 33" seat pitch.
Awesome!! Loved it. Could you visit JAMAICA next and possibly do a video like this if not better? I will love to see it.
we'll do our best. no current plans though :-)
We've paid for extra legroom seats in row 10, I think 10a and 10b, do you know if these seats also have a viewable screen for movies?
all screens in all classes onboard Thomson's 787 have personal screens for in flight entertainment
We've done the Thomson Dreamliner 3 times already. Jamaica, Mexico and Dominican Republic. When we flew to Mexico we upgraded to Premium cabin. It wasn't worth it in my opinion.
We're going to Turkey in September on the Dreamliner and paid for the extra space seats. The only ones available were rows 10, and a row somewhere in the 30s. Which would you recommend? At the minute I've chosen window seats away from the toilets in row 10 going, and the inner seats on rows 30 on the way home.
Great video!
We'd agree with you that it isn't worth the upgrade, but its always nice to have the luxury. I would say is that with row 10 you should get less screaming kids as they tend to be towards the back of the plane.
MT Aviation thanks for the quick response. And yes, it was nice to give it a go.
good point, I may amend my flight home back towards the front.
nattydownes
I'm looking into going to DR you said upgrade not value for money Why ? Especially if your sitting next to some one who's up and down all flight annoying
hi enjoy your videos.. we travel to vegas reg on the Thomas cook a330 direct from Glasgow, have done for past 6 years.. they have pulled it off next year, no more direct flights to vegas, nd to travel to Manchester if you want a direct flight... e mailed Glasgow airport, Thomas cook, and visited 4 Thomas cook stores, nobody can explain why they've pulled it..... just wondering if you or any of your viewers can enlighten me.. much obliged.....
thats a shame. its maybe because they feel they can get more revenue from the aircraft doing a different route from manchester for example, maybe because the yield on the glasgow to vegas flights weren't full enough. hopefully you'll find a good way of getting to vegas though
How are you able to visit so many places?
there are 2 of us, and we really like travelling
OMG My sister sat in seat 11a!!!!
sounds like a good seat then :-)
Awesome
thanks! :-)
Interesting and review! Can I ask how long was the flight to Barbados? :)
its around 9-10 hours, thanks for watching! :-)
MT Aviation Cool, really enjoyed the review! :)
Great vid! Absolutely loved it. Just wondering if you will ever do a face reveal?
thank you. we have no plans to do a face reveal as yet, but you never know :-)
Anyone know if they have usb ports ?
they do, USB A
Do you get to charge iPhones/iPads during the flight?
yes, you just need a USB lead for the device
MT Aviati
I'm guessing you went on a cruise
Do you get complimentary headphones????
yes you do
Going on one of these in 4 days
have a good holiday
Thanks bro
Hari Kumar 2 days now, have fun! Wish I could go lol :)
Ikr so excited
Is it possible to connect bluetooth headphones to the entertainment system on the plane? Thanks
not sure, i don't think so though. if your headphones have a lead or can have a lead attached then you could use them
Okay, thanks :)
bit late but for others wondering, no but you can with cable and you get a usb charger port
In the description it's 3-3-3 not 3-4-3 in economy but excellent video as always 👍
thanks for spotting that typo! :-)
Why did you film the food when you already eat half of it !?
Because he can
do you have to purchase the movies on the flight
no, they're part of the ticket
MT Aviation thanks. when I went to Mexico we had to purchase any films/series we wanted to watch!
if there is inflight entertainment, you will never pay for them on any airline
how tall are you, just in regards to the leg room!
thanks in advance!
5'10" ish, but theres 33" of legroom if that helps, which is more in comparison with most other economy classes
I'm the same height, so plenty of leg room?, and I normally get a sore Arse on a long flight what were the seats like? -cheers great video by the way
i'm 6"2 knees didn't touch seat in front in economy
Hey great video. Was any of your flight attendants called Jackie or Karen because they were on my flight :)
how long was the flight
about 9 hours
Any turbulence on this flight to Barbados? Great video:)
not that i could remember. thank you! :-)
Do a full flights
we do full flight videos of some of our flights, so keep an eye out for future uploads
I’m going from Manchester it’s literally 5 mins away from me
have a good holiday
MT Aviation thank you I will
Is TUI a low cost airlines??
no. its a holiday/charter airline. some aspects of the service are to keep costs down but its not a low cost airline like easy jet or ryanair
@@MTAviation one thing to note is that on short haul the standard seat pitch is worse on TUI than on the low cost airlines.
Look you don't need to spool up the take-off that's something that we wan't to see you ruined it there
fast forwarding take off ruined the whole thing
Basically a waste of time !! Just the airport and a few seats yawn !!
