2 passengers denied boarding. Also other persons in our party allowed boarding. No TUI reps in site and staff refusing to help. Over £3000 lost on flights, a holiday we couldn't attend. This was also for a wedding.

The worst service, I booked my flight well in advance. Last moment the airline announced that the flight would take 1 and half longer unexplained with no option to change or cancel the flight. The flight was delayed leaving the airport for over one hour, again the Tui employees being very unhelpful. Never had such a bad experience not even with budget Airlines like Ryanair or Wizz. Never ever would book flight with Tui!

Deeply disappointed with TUI. After...

Deeply disappointed with TUI. After years and years of travelling with them, I never expected to feel so let down by a company we trusted with our family’s safety. Almost a year on from our holiday at Grand Palladium Jamaica, we are still waiting for answers. TUI sent our family to Jamaica just one day before Hurricane Melissa — a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane — hit the island and travelled directly through our resort. What makes this even more difficult to understand is that, by the time we arrived, the resort was already in the full process of shutting down. Buildings were being boarded up. Chandeliers were being taken down. Staff were being sent home to protect their own families ahead of what everyone knew — and what we were told on our arrival — would be a devastating storm. The staff themselves could not understand why TUI were still bringing holidaymakers in from the airports. Yet TUI were still sending holidaymakers into the country. We witnessed the fear and uncertainty first-hand, knowing our family’s safety was potentially at risk. This was not simply a disappointing holiday. It was a deeply distressing experience that we will never forget — and one that is still on my mind almost a year later. What makes this even worse is that, despite raising our concerns, TUI have still not provided us with a proper explanation, an apology or any compensation. The email we received a year ago simply told us that they would not reply to any further messages we sent. How can a company that prides itself on looking after its customers leave a family feeling so completely ignored? Something I had never experienced in all my years of holidays with TUI. TUI, we deserve answers. We deserve to know why you sent us to Jamaica when the threat was so serious and the resort was already shutting down around us. I will continue sharing our experience until someone at TUI takes responsibility and finally responds. We trusted you with our family. It was one of the worst experiences we have ever been put through.

Denied boarding

Wasn’t happy but you’re looking into it and thanks for that it’s much appreciated as when up in the air and nothing to watch does get boring.

Flight delay

Disappointed with the 5 hour delay, not the start to our holiday we were hoping for and then a replacement plane. The staff snd plane weren’t TUI but all really friendly and helpful. Very tired when we finally arrived at our hotel. It was also expensive during the delay at the airport waiting for our delayed flight. If we had revived the message earlier we could have set off later to the airport. Also the scale system wasn’t working right when we arrive. Wanted to charge us £30 extra and my direct £350 extra… I think this turned out to be a fault but want never really explained to us.
