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.

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.

Flight delay

Unfortunately we were delayed coming home from Barbados. We had paid to travel in Premium Upgrade, however the service was very poor. We have contacted TUI regarding compensation, however they thanked us for feedback so they can improve their service to other customers in future? No compensation for our poor service?

We were advised that there was a technical issue with the incoming aircraft. There wasn’t a spare plane at Gatwick and so we had to wait for a plane from Birmingham. Tui provided a £10 pp voucher for use at certain outlets in the airport. We left Gatwick around 13:10 so over 4 hours later than scheduled. We arrived in Boa Vista around 4 hours later than scheduled.

We were not informed of any information other than to wait for gate information. Travelling with children so this was very stressful. I had to rely on news reports on my phone for potential reasons for the delay such as air traffic control issues.

The website and app for TUI states they will keep customers updated when flights are delayed, I did not receive any texts or notifications apart from one at 1926 as we were boarding the flight to say it’s been delayed. Communication was extremely poor, staff at the airport reported it was due to a cancelled flight the night before from Tenerife so they knew it was going to be delayed from the day before. We landed around 2200 local time in palma was extremely late and we had not eaten since 1300 UK time as the time on the departure board kept changing and we didn’t want to get more food if the gate was to be announced.

We arrived at roughly 9-10am, We were unaware of the flight delay until 11am in which time we were already at the airport, back checked in. The flight disappeared from the board and we didn’t get an email until an hour later. We were delayed for 8 hours and spent a total of 14 hours at Manchester airport. We didn’t even get on the plane until midnight so delayed for another hour making it 15 hours in Manchester airport. We didn’t get food vouchers until 9pm in which we had to rush to get food and then get to the gate. We missed an entire day of the holiday and had little to no communication from staff at the airport. TUI reps were nowhere to be seen and we had to get all our information off of another airline desk. This meant we had to spend money on lunch and dinner at the airport which was very expensive, now a year later we don’t have receipts but potentially bank statements to prove the money we spent.

Flight delay

Flight,no complaints. The captain kept the passengers informed due to another plane got in before us making it difficult for us to land. We landed in Glasgow eventually, refuelled then back to Aberdeen. Unfortunately we landed 3 hours late. Captain announced that we landed at 10 past 6 which was 3 hours late.
