| Trip Report | On the Dreamliner! |TUI Airways Boeing 787-9 Manchester to Melbourne Orlando 

Will be doing this particular flight again in the summer again which will include a much better edited video that this one! Will admit I slightly rushed this!

Thanks for sharing, and helping put Melbourne Airport “on the map” 😊

Excellent review, thanks for taking the time. I note you gave passenger numbers relating to the 787-9, TUI also operate a 787-8 version on long haul with a slightly lower capacity. Pointing this out for the benefit of those looking to travel in the Premium section where the last row, row 7, has no window. Strangely enough row 6 in front has two.

wonderful flight report.Epic views

I appreciated the thorough trip report - many thanks!

Thanks for sharing such an informative video x we are flying with TUI to Florida next September so this was helpful x

Aww good vid! We flew on G-Tuil Oct 18th 2021 from Las Palmas Gran Canaria to Birmingham. Initially the plane was supposed to be 737 Max 8 but ended up with the 787-9. We had purchased extra leg room in row 4 on the max 8 (same as the flight out) cause my son is 6ft 2. So due to air craft change we still ended up in row 4 extra leg room but that ended up being in premium economy! Sooooo roomy. As it’s a 2-3-2 configuration. We were in the centre and row 4 so I didn’t get to see what the windows seat was like in terms of cleaning! We didn’t get any of the package that come with premium economy, as that’s not available on this route! I was more than happy with the seat and crew. This aircraft was so smooth! Unrelated to the flight, we got to see the ash cloud from the volcano on la palma!

Lovely Trip Report!

Fantastic work Josh. Love the 787 myself 👍

This was informative, I watch occasionally to remind myself why I do not fly anymore . At 6'-4" flying is painful and exhausting, I cannot afford business or first, and economy is pretty much a cattle truck service. The tinted windows are a good idea !

Superb 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I’ve always had a positive experience with Tui. I flew on their 787 Dreamliner on a holiday to Jamaica back in 2018 and the experience was just fantastic. I actually loved the food they served onboard too

Great video. The tui 787 is a lovely aircraft

Great report, you flew over my neighborhood on the way in!

Great trip report :)

Nice report 👍👍

Great video and trip report 👌🏻

I went in a TUI 787 back in 2019 to Mexico was best flight and holiday ever I always fly with TUI never had an issue or anything 😁

I just checked and im going on this exact flight in 9 days flight BY122 from manchester to melbourne at the same time aswell hopefully were not delayed 6 hours

Nice Work Josh keep it up!

I flew with tui from lgw to CUN last month on the 787-9 G-TUIM AND G-TUIJ. both very nice, clean and new planes

Fantastic flight report, it was really informative! I've never seen a TUI long haul report so it was interesting to see it. Hopefully TUI can sort out the delay issue for flights in the future.

Great trip report! Im flying om a Tui 787 tomorow from Stockholm to Thailand.

I’ve just got back from a trip with tui 787 from Bristol to Cancún and can honestly say it was the most filthiest vile plane i have ever flown. It made Ryanair look clean . The problem stemmed from the fact that the inbound flight was late and they wanted cut the delay down.but for ten hours it was inexcusable . I know tui don’t offer a emirates class service but there flights are cheap long haul. Apart from that I was fairly impressed the services offered and surprised about the free drinks and main meal and landing snacks given to basic economy.

hey alc brilliant flight mate

nakaka mis sumakay ng planehooe next international flight naman

Very good! Just subscribed😁

Thank you, fab review. You hit the nail on the head though, this is absolutely unacceptable 5:26

Great video! However I think you were in seat 39J, as I flew on the exact same aircraft a few weeks ago to Punta Cana right where you are. If you were 39F you wouldn’t have a window. I agree the aircraft was extremely dirty, especially down the sides! The crew weren’t amazing either, some rather rude due to delays.

Flew on G-TUIL at the end of June to Punta Cana had a slight delay but overall a good experience

Amazing trip report!

Great video, was they extra legroom seats?

Have flown on these Dreamliners a few times, such a lovely plane. Cannot understand why Jet2 are not running a few to Turkey and the Caneries? Is it purely down to cost?

I’m heading Manchester airport in 4 days

Melbourne a 2hour bus ride to Orlando

Went Mia to Bru on 7-9-22; great flight on time yet I never ever flown in such an uncomfortable plane! Sure TUI stacks the seats but why were these seats soo uncomfortable? Overused? Sure ticket price was unbeatable but gosh can they update their seats?

Really enjoyed your video! I've got a flight with TUI on the 787 in a few weeks (sadly just a short hop to PMI), but looking forward to seeing what its like onboard. Hopefully its a bit cleaner than yours was! 🤢

I flew g-tuil in October

Nice!

The IFE headphone socket - will it work with a standard 3.5mm headphone cable, or do you need an adapter?

I've flown the TUI Dreamliner from the UK to Florida several times over the last 6 yrs. Games were available to every one on the IFE system. When did it change that it's only available for Premium Economy?

Remember when a fight arrives 8 hours late, that means all the staff working on it have worked an extra 8 hours. The cleaners are then rushed to try and get the plane clean and things can get messed up. Remember when it took us 54 hours to get home from Orlando to Manchester with 3 kids, that was a nightmare but at least I wasn’t working and dealing with irate passengers and lost luggage !

Fantastic video bro. Keep up the fantastic work

Thanks for watching this video! Great to get a video out for the first time in a few weeks! Any feedback leave here :) Have a nice day!

What's the journey from Melbourne to Orlando like? is the extra distance worth it?

Hi thanks for the flight report it was very interesting,I am due to fly with tui on 16th august going to Melbourne, while your on board do you pay for food and drinks or are they provided ?

When Manchester Airport Opened The runway was 24 and 06. not 23R/05L . and then it was 24R/05L And 24L/05R. untill it was recalibrated. To 23s And 05s.

Nice video. I want to ask your flight was delayed for more than 3 hrs so did tui give you any compensation? if you had Premium economy ticket then why you are sitting in Economy class?

Yeah I was gonna book a week in Orlando with tui but cause of the belays are well known I keeping away go with virgin

We flew this route with TUI April 23 - all flights on time, plane clean & tidy. Went thru MLB with TUI twice last year and suffered the rubbish & lateness - so i'm not a TUI fanboy by any means. From what i've read it was all a knock on effect of the scheduling issue with airport manpower getting back to normal after COVID. Hopefully that's all in the past now. My biggest gripe with TUI is the cabin announcements - jeez they just go on and on ........

Nice video:)

Based on the thumbnail, I thought you were flying Tui to Melbourne, Australia, not Melbourne, Florida

The only existing pier at Manchester ? there is 4 including this one, one being on t3, 2 being on t1, and this one

Great video thank you, can't believe the filthy state of the cabin, that's just disgusting

Do the arm rests go fully up in economy...

I wish tui includes 4 engines for long flights

I remember the dreadful 767 flights to Australia and New Zealand, but they were cheap alternative at the time

I get on any plane at the very last moment, why people want to get on first baffles me !

Ten seats across. Fly first class

Absolutely not a fan of 3-3-3 on the 787. A350 was so much more comfortable.

What are "basically faculties" in the toilets? You can just imagine the chavs guzzling Prosecco out of plastic flutes.

Mcr airport need to get thier act together because airlines will go elsewhere , owned by the council that says it all

Interesting video, but you need to work on your editing skills.

hotukdeals flight loooool

I feel like the name melbourne Orlando is just such a lie as someone who lived in melbourne FL for a hot minute lol for a bit more context on why orlando melbourne is "new" melbourne was never allowed to say they are "orlando" for years, (proof is at 21:59 notice there is 0 mention of orlando!) because they simply are not in the orlando metro area at all! (nor is there realistic transit to get there nor are there any plans to incorporate any as Brevard county has denied Brightlines many offers to build a station in the county. the county officials are under this allusion Brevard county has a trouism industry and a train line will somehow eliminate it) yet the only airline to bring tourists is TUI who are going to "orlando" and the only attraction we have is a defunct space center and an crappy rundown beach. after they were allowed to market themselves as "orlando" they started going after orlando sanford airport's airlines (which actually is close enough to orlando to be in the metro area) even offering to remodel and thus why the only international airlines at Sanford jumped ship for melbourne because tourists will just assume they are in orlando and the airlines saved money! MLB actually did have international flights before the "orlando" name but it was a Canadian airline called porter and it was seasonal and obviously canadians are not going to fall for this as they have multiple non stops to MCO. I'm glad you finally reviewed this flight i've been very curious how tui is as the essential sole operator at MLB other than regional jets only flying to 2-3 places.

flying on a TUI Dreamliner…….hardly a Dream and certainly not a Liner. I’ve just been on a TUI Dreamliner from Gatwick to Cancun and back. The flight out was pretty rubbish, the flight back was a total embarrassment. I sat in the front row (bigger seats etc), my screen was broken, the tray leaned so far to the left once out of the central armrest my food tray would fall off if I didn’t hold onto it. My seat and surrounding area was filthy and the crew didn’t know what food we were having - ‘chicken with something, beef with something and pasta with something’, take your pick. To be fair the crew were lovely, however the aircraft was like flying in the 80’s on a knackered old Trident or similar, not flying in a 8 year old Dreamliner. Sorry TUI, you were terrible and I will not fly your airline again if I can help it.

One wonders why the lecture by cabin crew started when there only a few passengers on board. Presumably they repeated the whole bl***y thing when all passengers had boarded

The rubbish in the window seat area is just disgusting. I dread to think what the toilets are like. That’s Tui off my list of carriers. It seems the return to pre covid has caught everyone in the airline industry by surprise.

Don’t like the rainbow lights if they are trying to signify something

If you are going to use captions rather than talking (though talking is far more engaging), please get your spelling and grammar checked.

Started well, and then the crap music started !!

Wow!!!! That's so dirty it's disgusting!!!! Shame on TUI!!!!!
