TUI upgrades

Hi all

Is it worth upgrading to Premium on TUI, I looked at extra legroom seats because I need it due to a medical condition, the reason I haven't been to Florids in 5 years.

The extra legroom is £47 pp but not sure what the PE upgrade cost is, site won't load on my tablet atm.

Is it worth it for 3 adults, 1 child and 1 infant?

Cheers


Karl

PE on TUI was lovely but it depends on the price to upgrade all of you and whether you can budget for it.
The extra legroom seats are fine and maybe a better decision cost wise.

We upgraded because by the time we paid for everything else it really wasn't much more. Can't remember what we paid but came in less than Dibbers Row out and PE back with Virgin.

PE is lovely, but all depends on the price. We're travelling on 29th September and our flights were £369 with free luggage. They wanted more than the cost of the flights to upgrade to PE, so I booked extra legroom instead for £45 (these have now gone up to£70 each!). So a total of £180 was a lot less than booking 1 person to upgrade to PE. I also book 5kg of extra luggage for our return journey only at £10 per person. The extra space seats are nice, if you can get row 10, and these are less than the XLR.

Dibbers row is the back row of the bubble with Virgin atlantic, great seats.

TUI rang me last week to see if I wanted to upgrade for the two of us for £800 return. Said no thanks they dropped it to £700 still said no thanks will stick with our bulkhead seats in row 10 as will get off nice n quick without wasting another £700! That was Man - Sanford.

It's the back row in the bubble, in my opinion the best economy seats on the plane.

That's a bit steep, there are 3 adults and 2 kids travelling so it will add a considerable amount.

The extra legroom is £47pp so that will do

Insurance has made this quite expensive anyway so adding another 1k+ is a bit much

That's is excellent, was that after your initial booking and close to departure time?
