First Tui flight - what to expect

[Merryweather17]

As the title says we have booked a last minute week away leaving on the 1st. We usually travel VA or TC back in the good old days but have never flown Tui so I was hoping for some help from recent passengers. Have booked PE and were wondering what the food is like - should we stock up on meal deals and snacks? happy to do so but would rather know in advance, also the website says you can buy extra drinks, does this only apply to alcohol or do they limit soft drinks too? Have looked at the ife and am thinking downloading some films to a tablet may be a good idea - was there anything new(ish) to watch that maybe isn't listed on the website?

Thanks.

We've flown TUI premium & economy a few times now... have always had a good flight with them. Food is fine for plane food... my DH always takes extra food on but that's because he eats when he's bored I always pack a few snacks & sweets for me & our dd's. All drinks are free in the Premium cabin. Definitely download some films. We found the selection at Easter limited. Nothing new on there, all from pre-covid times. List on website will be up to date (it was at easter anyway) seats are comfy, staff always been really helpful. Hopefully you won't suffer any of the delays that have been happening with them as it can put a damper on the beginning of your holiday

Have a great time!

Thanks this is really helpful, I will pack some snacks and spend some time this weekend downloading netflix. I thought the film list seemed out of date so it is good to have this confirmed. Fingers crossed for no delays

We loved the dreamliner it's excellent and the service is good.
We would have flown with them again but had to change to Virgin due to flight dates moving when we moved to this year from last year.
Can't fault it to be honest.

What's ecomony leg room like for a 6 foot 2 guy? Am I going to have him complaining for the whole flight?

We flew pe to Melbourne last week in April, food on way out some of best we’ve had, on way back average, especially the breakfast. Excellent flight and comfortable seats in PE

Yes I thought the food on the way out was excellent including the cream team but not so good on the return.

I was disappointed with the films on board and shocked to see that they haven’t changed them two months later.

I always expect terrible food on the way back, regardless of the airline but as its an overnight flight I don't worry as much. Definitely going to make sure I have something to watch and read as 9hrs is a long time to be bored. Shame Tui aren't doing something about the IFE now they have so many long haul flights again.

Agree with the IFE... old films and not a very good choice. Def download and take your own.
