The 757's can get back without a stop but A321's and 738's need to drink on the way home and will stop at CFU KVA SKG Volos Pula DBV and PVZ amongst places to take on fuel.
They can do non-stop back to UK with a lower payload such as early season when flights are not full on the way home.
TUI have used the 738 to JSI from LGW, LTN and BRS without having to stop on the way home. From what I can remember, MAN and BHX have always used the 757 and will probably continue to do so. With regards to EMA (and I think JSI has also been added from NCL?), I’m not sure whether the 738 would be able to make it back non-stop. Either there will be a tech stop or they may use the 757 on a w-pattern from elsewhere.
