Aside from ridiculous check in queues, ridiculous security queues, 3hrs 5 min late arrival with no IFE in my seat, no normal catering on board and waiting for the bus to take us to resort as we were so late, the actual HOLIDAY has been fantastic. Believe you me I'll be talking TUI to the cleaners.
TOM7548 BHX-TFS, on the 13th shows an arrival time of 11:00 in TFS, and it landed TFS at 13:55, so less than 3hours late, so no EU261 delay is applicable. You return TOM7549 TFS-BHX on the 20th, is again showing an Air Tanker A330 flight, due to TUI 788 G-TUIH being at LTN on maintenance, so they are currently a B788 down in their fleet, hence the short term lease of the Air Tanker A330
