Meals on long haul Tui Dreamliner

We have just booked a week to Mexico in October as a Tui package from Birmingham. We were looking for a week in Spain but somehow got carried away 😀

Anyway, the website is a little vague about inflight meals. We are flying economy on the Dreamliner. I understand drinks aren’t complimentary now, apart from with the meal. However, will we get one meal, 2 meals, one full meal and a snack, or any snacks? Has anyone flown this route recently or have any idea of choice/frequency of meals?

TIA
Sue xx

We flew to Mexico for Christmas but in Premium. We got one full meal and a lighter one - sandwiches on the way out and a full meal and breakfast on the way home.

Thank you, I’m presuming we will have the same in economy but with less choice and drinks just with meals.

We flew to Mexico on Dreamliner in September. We had a meal which we didn’t have a choice of, and a snack. Had a free drinks service too.

Was that with Tui? I had heard they didn’t do the free drink service in economy anymore, it would be a nice bonus if they do though. I do hope we like the meal as it’s a long flight with no meal choice. We aren’t fussy eaters so hopefully it will be fine. At least with a very nice AI hotel when we get to the resort we can eat when we arrive 😀

Yes with Tui, from Gatwick. The meal wasn’t that bad. Can remember one meal was chicken in a tomato type sauce with potatoes and veg. Definitely was free drinks when we went as I stick to a bottle of water on the plane and Kerri has my drinks 😁

Thank you, we would be fine with that sort of meal. Although I’m not giving my free drinks to my DH 😂

Kerri is quite fussy with plane food. And she was ok with it so I know it wasn’t that bad.
Hehe. Well it keeps her quiet so 😉

What hotel are you staying at?

We are staying at Sandos Caracol eco resort in Riviera Maya. We booked it on a whim and it’s only for a week but seemed so much better value than anything we could get in Europe this year. We’ve never been to Mexico before, so we are looking forward to it.

I find plane food an entertainment more than a source of nourishment, it passes some of the time at least 😀

It was our first time in Mexico and was probably one of our best.

It’s like Xmas opening up the package to see what you get 😁
