Flight delay

Extremely disappointed with delayed flights and then to be told no food or drinks on board. Not even provided with water. Myself and friend are diabetics. Plus I was left on plane for 2hours as disabled services at Spain were on strike.

Flight delay

Very disappointed with TUI customer care, as no compensation for 5 hr 40 minute delay. Mixed communication from TUI stating delay due to flight staff sickness, customer sickness and weather conditions. Lack of TUI reps in departure area compared to other companies such as JET2. Landed at Nort terminal Gatwick rather than scheduled South terminal.

Flight delay

No help available when needed, at Bristol airport and the assistance I ordered at the airport wasn't ordered so we had to deal with everything.

We was travelling on the flight to kos at 15.45. The flight got delayed 30 minutes, this was in the morning. When I arrived at the airport the flight was canceled. Following that we had to stay for a flight the day after. We then got told our flight was at 9am. We then found out we was further delayed till 2.45 in the afternoon. We did eventually depart but this ment we lost a full day of our holiday. Which is a long time on a 7 day break. We arrived at our hotel that night at 22.30.

we were told that our flight was delayed due to them having to go to Manchester airport to pick up passengers to bring them to Rhodes to then take us to London luton. we got to the airport at 7pm and was only told officially by email that the flight was delayed at 22.18pm via email from tui themselves the food vouchers offered weren't issued till 11/12 at night so had to go without food until then. flight did not leave until 1:30 we also have a time stamped photo of us on the plane on the run way at this time.

After only 2 emails then an announcement at the airport, very difficult to hear there was no further communication till Friday afternoon from TUi. We had not eaten after we were sent to buses to take us to hotel which were disorganised. No tui staff at airport to speak to. No tui staff at hotel. Then no information tull we found out flying to Birmingham then nothing about how we would get from Birmingham to newcastle till we disembarked. We waited in the cold foe 1 and half hours. We eventually arrived home at 6am on Saturday 4th October. We also missed out on work the next day with loss of earnings. The pilot and flight attendants however were amazing and informative.
