After much anticipation and worry my tickets have now arrived. We have paid for Premium seats and booked the actual seats so know which seats we should get.

Does anyone know if the seat numbers should be printed on the tickets as theres nothing on them to say so. Also nothing to say we have actually booked numbered seats.

Do we check in at the same check in as everybody else? We are staying in a Platinum hotel and I thought it was priority check ins for these hotels. Can anybody help me before I ring up .

Thanks

Hi there!

I work for Thomsons so I should be at some help :)

Seat numbers do not get printed in tickets. You get a booklet, which will have your tickets, a run down of flight times, any transferes (and will also state that you have premium seat) etc. Your luggage lables will be pre printed too.

Seats get allocated around 24 before departure, you will 99% be likly to seat together as premier is its own cabin.

What airport are you flying from? At check in there will be (depending on what airport) around 4/5 check in desks. One will say PREMIUM PASSENGER ONLY with your flight number. More than likely there will be a Thomson person asking people if they are premium.

You get a seperate check in, and when you are at boarding gate, will be called 1st to board.

You also get priority drop off, what hotel are you staying at? depending on how many people are staying at the hotel you may get your own coach. When I satyed at the Riu Bachata we had a coach just for that hotel :)

Any questions just message

I booked with Thomspons and fly 2nd June to DR, still awaiting tickets. I phoned the branch today and they say they will not be ready until 7/10 days before departure. They have never been this late before.

I knew it was not right, you go 3 days after me and already have your tickets. Where are you flying from and is it with Thompsons?

I would keep hassling them. Did you book through a shop or direct? We only got our this Thurs and we go on Mon 26th May so I would say you will be ok. That was only about 10 days before we were due to go. Good luck but put the pressure on if you have to wait much longer!Let us know when you get them. I can't tell you the relief when you finally get to hold them in your sweaty palms and start sleeping again!
