Thomsonfly
CharterThomsonfly is a UK charter and leisure carrier focused on holiday and package flights rather than being a traditional scheduled network airline. From a traveler’s perspective it functions as a tour-operator airline, operating point-to-point services oriented around seasonal and leisure demand.
Operations are centered on UK holiday airports such as London Luton (LTN) and use a mix of narrowbody and widebody Boeing aircraft to serve short-, medium- and long-haul holiday routes; it is not positioned as a frequent international connector like a legacy carrier.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes
Operations use a mix of Boeing narrowbodies for short- and medium-haul work and larger Boeing widebodies for longer, higher-capacity holiday routes. Narrowbody types listed include variants of the 737 family suitable for European and Mediterranean sectors, while the 757/767 and 787 types serve medium- and long-haul leisure routes. Cabin configurations are generally focused on economy seating for short-haul; long-haul aircraft commonly offer higher-comfort or extra-legroom options and onboard amenities such as personal or shared in-flight entertainment on widebodies, rather than a full premium-cabin product lineup.
Aircraft types operated: Boeing 737-800, Boeing 737 MAX 8, Boeing 787-8, Boeing 787-9, Boeing 757-200, Boeing 767-300ER
Tips for Flying Thomsonfly
- Confirm baggage allowances on your booking confirmation because charter/holiday fares often bundle luggage differently than scheduled carriers.
- Seat selection and extra-legroom upgrades are commonly charged separately, so pick seats early if traveling with family or needing specific locations.
- For long-haul flights on widebody aircraft, check whether meals and in-flight entertainment are included in your fare rather than assuming add-ons are optional.
- Arrive at busy holiday airports like London Luton (LTN) with extra time and follow the operator’s check-in instructions-charter flights can have different cut-off times than scheduled services.
