Tui flight 2nd nov

[mike4scuba]

We have booked a last minute flight to florida going 2nd nov and returning 7th nov
Wanted to get an idea on how many seats on the plane were allocated to see how busy it would be outward and inward
The plane looks almost full with only about 10 seats available in the centre rows where a couple could sit together. (No side rows of seats left) it's the same on both inward and outward

Do we take our chances or pay the £18 pp each way (£72 total) to be gauranteed a seat next to each other or hold our nerve and see what's available on allocation

I think the lack of seats is due to the fact that it's less than a month away.

If sitting together is a must then I would imagine you'll need to pay to guarantee.

Although they may have started to block out seats for passengers and those you can see are simply available fares...

Unfortunately as TUI operate a charter there is no visibility of the seating other than what you can view via TUI themselves, they don't open up their seating to be viewed.

At this stage, if there are only a few seats together, i wouldn't risk not booking seats those sat together could easily be booked up if they are offering a low-ish price to sell out the flight.

Book them. My friends are there now as a party of 3 and were not sat together. Two of them were sat either side of an aisle which isn't too bad, but one was about 12 rows away. They said the plane was really busy and when they asked cabin crew if there was any chance of moving once up in the air they were told that the plane was almost full. I guess all the TC customers have had to find alternatives so planes may be busier for a while yet.

I think the TC has had a knock on effect. Have flown this time of year before without being this busy.

Guess this will have a knock on effect for a good while now

Any way have booked them
