  • Here’s our experience of flying with Tui on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner from London Gatwick north terminal to Melbourne Florida, on the way coast. We opted for extra leg room so take a look at what this looks like! I’ll show you the plane, what the service was like, the food and of course take off and landing.

    I dont know if Jamie or a poster has mentioned it but I suspect there may be another reason for TUI moving from Sanford to Melbourne Airports that may have played its part in the decision. TUI UK also operate Marella Cruises, these were due to operate 7 day cruises from Port Canaveral which is just north of Melbourne. Covid delayed those but they are starting next year.. For those who dont know, the Marella fleet consists of refurbished to UK preferences, ex Royal Caribbean and Celebrity ships, all are about 1800 passengers so would use six 787 aircraft return flights. You need a strategically close airport to deal with that turnover of passengers from a cruise ship. I may be wrong or it has been mentioned elsewhere, if so I apologise.

    Thanks for such a great video. I am planning my first solo trip next year at the tender age of 56. I have been many times before but not since 2005, so a lot will of changed. The airport reminds me very much of Sanford. I am debating Premium or extra legroom. Sadly I am deaf so extra space seats are not available to me because of that reason. The food hooded good and I spy cheese and crackers and tea in cups, a rarity on flights now. Really looking forward to flying with them now ✈️😀

      Manchester is northan
      Birmingham is middle of everything
      Bristol is good for the costal aspect of the south my advice take Birmingham and go from there
