These complaints are the subjective opinion of AirAdvisor members and not of AirAdvisor International Inc. We will try to monitor complaints for compliance (as feasible).
You’ve had an unpleasant experience with TUI, and now you want to make a complaint. Well you’re not alone! During 2023, TUI received 3,307 complaints from UK passengers according to data from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). These are numbers from the UK alone, so imagine how many complaints they get in total!
It can be difficult and frustrating trying to get in touch with airlines, so in this guide, we’re going to show you several different ways to lodge a complaint with TUI.
You can raise a concern to TUI about lots of different issues like flight delay compensation, cancelled flight compensation, and compensation for lost or damaged luggage. But you can also make a formal complaint to TUI for many other issues including:
If you’ve had a TUI flight delay, cancellation, or denied boarding incident, remember that you can still submit a claim even if your flight was 6 years ago for passengers in England and Wales, and 5 years in Scotland. AirAdvisor is here to help!
Enter your flight details and we’ll show you how much you could get in TUI compensation!Check Your Flight
Having knowledge about your passenger rights is an essential aspect of responsible travel. If you’re flying in the EU or UK, your rights are protected by EU Regulation, EU261 and the UK’s version, UK 261. Both sets of rules protect you if you have flight disruptions with TUI and other airlines.

If you have a TUI complaint, submit it as soon as possible to avoid processing delays. You can do this by contacting TUI's customer service department and letting them know of your experience and how you would like the matter dealt with.
It’s very important to include as much relevant information as possible in your complaint like:
The more information you include to support your claim the better!

Sites like Tripadvisor and Flight Report have plenty of reviews that mention difficulties getting in touch with TUI as well as slow response times. One Tripadvisor reviewer called Flosskibeat writes,
I went to make a complaint online but there is no telephone number, just an email address. I wouldn't bother emailing. They don't reply. I emailed 3 times in a month and had no reply, only an automated one. I finally found a phone number and made my complaint. I was told I'd be contacted in 28 days but nobody did.
Fortunately, there are a few ways you can file a TUI complaint. If one method doesn’t work, try a different one.
If you’re like most passengers, your first instinct might be to call the airline when something goes awry. While phoning will put you in touch with a TUI agent, you might first have to endure long hold times before you get to speak with someone.
Below, you can find a list of TUI phone numbers for various areas of concern.

A better option for more formal questions and concerns is by writing to TUI via email. This will give you the opportunity to add any supporting documentation for the issue at hand, especially for flight cancellation and delay claims. More importantly, you will have a record of what you said and when.
Enquiries and customer service:
Because TUI is such a large company, passengers will have faster responses and better outcomes if they reach out to the carrier by using their contact forms. As with email, you can add documents, but instead of the messages all going to one email inbox, they are separated by issue. This ensures they will arrive at the right department and be handled in a more timely manner.
Contact forms are also very helpful if you’re pursuing a claim for lost or damaged luggage or flight disruptions as you’ll be prompted to add all the information TUI needs to process your complaint.

TUI has a chatbot on their website where you can ask questions and even ask to speak with a live person. Just type in: ‘Speak to a Representative’ and you’ll be put in touch with a real person.

Flight delays? Or maybe you’ve had a last-minute cancellation, and you need a rebooking ASAP. For these sorts of situations as well as for monitoring your itinerary, the best option is contacting TUI on the mobile app. Airline agents are available to help you 24/7, and it’s a convenient, easy way to sort out flight disruptions while you’re at the airport.
Download the TUI app at Google Play or at the App Store for iOS.
If you need fast help, and you can’t get through to an agent, you should definitely try to reach out on social media. This method is particularly useful when there are widespread flight disruptions.

Sometimes, the best way to correspond with TUI is by good old-fashioned post. Yes, it is definitely slower, but if you need to get physical copies of documents or other materials to the airline, this is the way to go.

Yes, there is a chatbot icon on the TUI website in the lower right-hand corner. For a live agent, ask to speak with a representative.
There can be several reasons a TUI refund takes a long time to reach you. Examples include a high volume of requests, bank processing times, investigations or disputes, administrative problems and system issues.
The charges for special assistance with TUI can vary depending on the type of assistance you require and the destination you're flying to. The Airline offers a range of free special assistance services for passengers with disabilities or mobility issues, though. These services typically include wheelchair assistance, assistance with boarding and disembarking and the use of medical equipment during your flight.

With a long history in the industry, TUI is a company travellers tend to trust.
