Thomson Airways has announced the first routes to be served by its forthcoming B787 Dreamliner aircraft.

From May 1, 2013, the leisure carrier will offer Dreamliner flights from Gatwick, Manchester, East Midlands and Glasgow to Cancun and Florida.

Thomson Airways is the UK’s first airline to take delivery of the Boeing 787, and in a statement announcing its summer 2013 programme, the carrier said the Dreamliner will “revolutionise air travel for Thomson Airways customers through significant advances in in-flight comfort and wellbeing”.

Thomson has yet to confirm the layout or seating products for its Dreamliner aircraft, but flights and packages for Thomson’s summer 2013 programme will go on sale on Thursday April 26.

Dear Tumbling - we suggested you contact the airline as we're not able to help with this sort of request.
