There have been quite a few of those from GLA over the last couple or weeks too with several ACMI charters brought in the following day. Yesterday’s GLA-AYT hasn’t operated yet either and today’s LPA has been cancelled to make way for it. TUI seem to be seriously struggling for aircraft (amongst other things) at the moment with several either still with Sunwing or sitting on the ground after returning.

TUI is also being hammered with delays using Smartlynx from DSA and DUB too. Anyone know what time the Newcastle to Antalya is due to leave? and what's happening with the Glasgow Las Palmas?

understood A320s ES-SAA and ES-SAX were for TUI use ,yet both seem to be just sitting outside STS at BHX doing nothing,while TUI are using NEOS and Euro Atlantic. Not sure if the A320s are still with STS for work ,but both have been here for some time

Well my Airtanker A330 was 3 hrs 5 minutes late on the BHX-TFS yesterday and despite me pre booking a window-aisle pair for the return trip planned on a B763, those seats have been magically changed to separate me and the Mrs to separate rows and seats (A&K) on whatever appears to be taking us back on Friday 20th. 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.

I am sure that during your stay you will find some more faults that may give an avenue for a compensation claim, but do remember that the end result of compensation claims is higher prices for everyone.
