The only TUI long haul from BOH are the few cruise ship charters on P&O for Hays Travel (1 or 2 a year) - certainly up to end 2020
They were planning a Xmas shopping 4 night package to NYC but with the dire £ v $ exchange rate that was canned.
Hays have not got the stomach to try things like Palmair/Bath Travel once successfully did in the past such as the day trips to Cairo Rome and Prague (These trips pretty much sold out as soon as they became on sale)
A few summers ago Hays did some package holiday and Cunard cruise charters from BOH to PMI VCE and BCN using BA Cityflyer and Titan but lack of advertising saw them not selling well - never to be repeated

BOH is not going to see TUI 787 short haul ops -

more flights from regions for some TUI packages have been given over to 3rd party airlines such as Freebird Air Europa Norwegian Volotea and Alba Star
