Thomson in flight entertainment

[MX51ROD]

2 or 3 years ago Thomson flights had in flight entertainment on short haul flights , eg Grand Canaria , Last year it appears that economies have been made and so no video / audio entertainment on short haul , I hope bad feedback has caused Thomson to have a change of heart .
We are off to Sharm el Sheik in February , Any PH travellers been there in the past year , Still no entertainment ?
We do have back up, notebook and memory sticks with films on . ipod etc, but just one more thing to carry around

Hi Thomson guys , our flight is LGW to Sharm early Feb 2013 ,think about 0950 am mid week ,we were irritated to find , without prior warning , that there was no entertainment in the flight to GC in Feb this year , and did complain in the strongest terms on the feedback form ( which I presume is filed in a recycle bin ) Food is a lesser problem , as for years we have started with a full English at Gatwick then pick up a meal deal sandwich and drink from Boots or Smiths . got fed up with chicken cobbler on every flight, dry over heated and tastless
As I said Notebook and Ipod fully loaded

In Sharm we are at the Reef Oasis Blue Bay resort and Spa , Fantastic place !

Just hope with the new "Dreamliner " on long haul , better aircraft filter down to the shorter routes , some chance !!

thomson are better long haul arent they? least the brochure says they have more legrom than virgin, thomas cook etc?

We did Jamaica about 4 years age and upgraded to what I would suppose to be first/premium class seats and yes they are a lot better , 2 instead of 3 in a row and good leg room with foot rest , and an Arcos player fully loaded with films and music. not sure what cattle class seats were like but they were inhabited by shell suits , Croydon face lifts and fat backsides
