TUI premium seating

[Malificent]

Any tips on how to get info on seat availability before booking?
Long shot - By any chance is there anyone here flying 7th Aug 2021 BRS To SFB that can see the seat map?

I have just done an online check and there are premium seats from Bristol on the 7 th August 2021. If you go into the TUI site then flights only put a dummy flight booking for you from BRS tonSFB and the date you want. Click on the flight price for the 7 th and then it will take you through to select premium. You can then see the total price. What you cannot see until after booking is the actual available seats.

How much did you pay for your flights? We are looking at a regional airport rather than travelling to London next year?

Thank you for your reply. I wanted to know if there were still premium seats together. I have a nervous son and want to make sure I can sit next to him.

This is the one thing about TUI I dislike, you cannot check seating until you have actually paid, you could dummy book for the maximum allowed and if they allow you to continue with the dummy booking then there is good availability.
Unfortunately we have booked for premium and ended up sat two rows away from hubby due to having to take what was left. Some may see this as a positive, hubby did not. You can argue the case after you have booked and if you are not happy you can find a seat you are happy with and they should refund the difference, they have done this for me on a different flight but that was from the extra legroom seats to ordinary economy seats as there were no extra legroom together when I booked.

Thank you for your reply. We would be happy with 2 and 1 somewhere else. It’s just my son will be 13 so doesn’t fall into the child seated by an adult category. And he won’t cope beings at next to a stranger as he is very nervous.

I just did a dummy booking for 9 passengers and I could go as far as entering passenger details. I assume therefore that there are least 9 seats available.

It does sound like they have good availability, also if you book and are unable to book seats together then call special assistance, I should have said this was how we got our seats changed,I was travelling with my adult daughter who has extreme anxiety and depressive illness, there was no way she would manage that flight next to someone she didn't, once I explained this they changed our seats, we ended up with just economy and no extra legroom but that was better than being 5 rows apart across the plane which is what was originally available.

i did this 2 weeks ago, we was flying with virgin, initially LGW to MCO but was then moved to LHW to MCO. as we was no longer flying on a 747 we deceided to rebook with TUI, having flown with them last time we went to florida in 2018 in preium club, we found it amazing and was so looked after. we have opted for the left side this time. we paid £708 for upgrade for both ways for 2 adults. this was from manchester but have found since they fly from bristol and traveling plymouth a godsend!

That is great advice, thank you. My husband is also partially sighted so if we could have two together for them and then one anywhere for me it would be fine.
I really appreciate your advice, thank you so much.

Thanks Gemma. How was a availability when you booked was there much choice?
Bristol is perfect for us coming from
South Wales.
