Flight Review | TUI | Boeing 737-800 | Birmingham to Palma

- čas přidán 12. 07. 2018
- Join me on-board a TUI Boeing 737-800 for a flight from Birmingham UK to Palma Mallorca, Spain.
TUI is the largest tourism company in the world and carried 11 million passengers in 2017 making them the UK's third largest airline. With so many flights to popular tourist destinations I simply had to try them for myself. On a personal note my first ever flight was on a Britannia Boeing 737-200 as a child. This airline became Thomson Airways and eventually TUI. Stick around for my final thoughts at the end of the review.
If you have any economy flight ideas please do let me know in the comment section. Your feedback is always appreciated.

Blake Edgington - Airborne Live Your Content Hope You Do a Video On The TUI 787 Dreamliner Good Luck With Your Channel !!
Hi Blake, I noticed that there is a self check in with TUI now. Is this straight forward?
Hi Richard. I have yet to use it with TUI but have done with other airlines and it’s very simple. Instructions are provided throughout the check-in process..
Can you do tui Airways 737 800 from London Stansted to lanzarote
oooooooo🦤
Another amazing tripreport mate! I always love TUI for their very friendly appearance, seeing their aircraft always creates the feeling of vacation! Well done, I also liked that you included some facts about TUI and your personal note, thumbs up! :)
Completely agree. Always nice seeing a smile painted on an aircraft.
CSpotting when I got on TUI I couldn’t get that feeling because they gave us a crappy sunwing 😂
@@Joel-we5kd Not true. TUI lease aircraft to Sunwing over the Winter season.
You travelled on TUI's older seat, there is now a newer one that is designed better :)
Yeah, on the G-TAW_ aircraft, with Sky Interiors.
Thanks for doing the tui flight review to palma I am going to palma with tui from Birmingham and this video gives me an insight of what it will be like . Great video and information again thanks for uploading 😊👍
You are very welcome I am glad I could help. That’s the main reason I started this channel. Enjoy your flight Casey.
Blake Edgington - Airborne Thanks 😊
Just got back from Palma on an Air Europa flight on behalf of TUI, the tui logo really does give you a holiday feeling
Totally agree, love the livery on the TUI jets it's one of my favourites.
Fantastic review once again! Really refreshes some childhood memories.. My first ever flight was with TUI (Germany) and used to travel them a lot as a kid
Thanks they are a special airline to me too and were not too bad at all. I will be trying their 787 later this year hopefully.
This is the first video I ever saw by you, and since then your content has not only improved but educated and informed thousands of people. I look forward to you hopefully making a return in the future.
Thanks, I have thought about re-editing this one but it’s nice to see the difference as the channel progressed.
@@BlakeEdgington - Certainly.
I fly with them mostly, because my mum works as a travel agent for tui 😂 we sometimes get a replacement aircraft due to the lack of aircrafts, normally Norwegian. I’d recommend flying with them, they have WiFi on their plane, not the best and doesn’t always work but it’s great!
I have tried Norwegian once and was very impressed.
I’ve just been looking through my CZcams analytics and it is suggesting that this video is the video that suggests my content the most. So thanks, whether you meant this or not!
You are welcome, although I have nothing to do with it but I am glad that the video helps 😊
I'm going next week to Egypt with tui for the first time hope it's a good flight x
Wow Egypt in August! Let me know how hot it is there, I am considering a similar trip next summer.
How was the flight?! We’re due to fly to Egypt too!! On this aircraft!
I will be flying from Eindhoven to OUD Morocco on the Boeing 737-800, I'm very excited!
Have fun!
Excellent Report! Great Footage. Didn’t know they were the third biggest airline, never wanted to try holiday carriers but but Interesting to see. That Legroom is poor though haha! Left a like, Well Done.
The legroom was certainly an issue for me but overall I was quite impressed. Thanks for the like.
Great video as always, I remember Britannia flew with them a few times .
Ah the good old days! I do miss Britannia very much.
Great Video how times have changed at Birmingham Thomas Cook and Flybe no longer exist EK A380 has returned, We do have Easyjet basing here next year, Qatar 787, Air India 787, Saudia 787. I do hope you make videos again soon Birmingham needs more Reviewers it has an Airport Stream now at last but still not enough coverage
I'm amazed at how you can do your wrap-up in one take - I know how difficult this is to do! Hope you're doing well and that we see you uploading content again at some point in the future. All the best.
Thanks Steve. Believe me I rarely get it done on the first take as my annual bloopers have shown. I have countless videos on my hard drive of me messing up.
@@BlakeEdgington 🤣
Wow Good to see u enjoyed the Journey. I work with TUI Pre Travel :)
You got it right with Xtra Leg Room or Xtra Space Seats..
I would certainly choose extra space on my next flight but overall was impressed with the flight.
Blake Edgington - Airborne If you opt for Extra Space dont opt for Select your Seats Option.
Good tip thanks for sharing.
Fantastic Video! I have only just come across your channel and I just immediately subscribed, I actually fly TUI next week which is why I was looking for this.
Hi thanks for the sub I appreciate it. I have a soft spot for TUI and really enjoyed this flight. I will be sure to check out your channel.
Thanks! I really like TUI as well and though I have flown them 10 times on the 737 plus twice on the 787 I have never had the older TUI 737 cabin so this was an interesting insight into it as nobody really makes trip reports of charter airlines.
I take whatever I can get and my two most popular reviews so far have been TUI and Thomas Cook. Not yet tried their Dreamliner but will be next year to Cancun.
I'm not surprised, my two TUI 787 reviews are my two worst videos and only 360p yet have over 10,000 views total EDIT: The only other video I have that comes close in terms of view numbers is Eastern Airways' J41.
I've flown on FDZE!
I hope you had a good flight.
Going on my first holiday at the age of 33, brum to Cyprus for 10 days....searched for cheap ones n first choice / tui come up trumps on all the others, loved how they included transfers n other bits unlike others where you paid extra / on top. I'm gutted I couldn't get a premium seating club etc but oh well.
I am sure you will have a great holiday Jamie. I hope that you enjoy the flight.
Good revue, thanks...
Thanks Kenneth!
Can I ask which seat you were in as I've booked row 1w seats a b and c for our family soon. My sons first time flying and keep seeing our window seat doesn't have one xx
The 3 Thomas Cook aircraft parked at the same place again. Must be where they park overnight. Is it just me Blake, or is it really annoying when people count down to the touchdown?!
Thanks for watching Samuel. I did not mind the countdown as it was a child who was really enjoying the experience. Reminded me of when I was young.
Oh right I didn't realise it was a child, I really don't mind that. I certainly have some fond memories of flying Birmingham-Menorca on First Choice 757, then through the merge to Thomson, and being really lucky if I got a First Choice liveried one. Really miss those turquoise colours and First Choice Airways itself. Did you ever go with them?
I think you're right about the Thomas Cook aircraft, I often see them there too in the mornings & evenings. I know how annoying these people can be! And last year on TUI there were these children who, from as soon as we were about 200 feet up started asking their parents (very loudly), "Have we touched yet? Have we touched yet?" This was a never-ending chant, as the aircraft seemed to float in the warm air - it ended with a mildly hard landing (I won't pretend that this was an actual hard landing, it wasn't), which caused them to scream. I know that these children enjoyed their flight, but did they have to shout for the entire descent?
Loved it, keep it up ;)
Thanks Laurie. I will do my best.
5:36 TUI actually only have 186 seats in their 737s, they have a partition at the front instead of a row at the door.
The legroom is only an issue on the G-FDZ_ aircraft. My flights on G-TAWA and G-TAWH last year were much better. The seats were not backed in plastic, and had much better legroom. The aircraft with TAW_ registrations are much newer and even have the Sky Interior. I was fortunate to experience them on both legs of my journey.
Great tips thank you.
@@BlakeEdgington No problem! I hope you enjoyed your flight, and stay safe.
ITS RLLY GOOD I FLEW HOME WITH IT YESTERDAY
great video i am flying with tui on 22nd august to malaga my first time using the company
Have a great flight and enjoy the Costa Del Sol 👍
@@BlakeEdgington thank you
I'm going cape verde in October with tui
Enjoy the flight and have a great trip!
Blake Edgington - Airborne thanks
Hi Blake, just come across your video. I was just wondering how tall you are. I'm 5ft 8 and was wondering if the extra legroom seats would be comfy on a 4.5hr flight to gran canaria. It looked like you were very cramped in your seat
I am 6ft 1 and find the standard seats ok for a short flight just about but would definitely spring for extra legroom on anything over a couple of hours.
Going on one to Ibiza!
Enjoy!
My TUI flight as basically a *HORROR* story. Im working on a video for it.
Ooo In the NG cabin
Another trip with TUI in November on the 787 will be uploaded if you like the airline.
Great video! Great to see one of the old TUI aircraft, they seem to be becoming a rarity theese days, manged to get myself on one in July, I think that will have been my last time on one as TUI have already removed many from their fleet.
Thanks! I am flying with TUI next year and hope to try the max.
@@BlakeEdgington will you create more videos? We miss you!!
In the short term I have no plans but never say never. I flew EasyJet last month and it reminded me how much I miss creating the videos.
@@BlakeEdgington Well whatever decision you're happy with I am too because you know it's the right one. Wishing you the very best.
Just got back from a TUI flight: Birmingham to Morocco
I hope that you had a good trip.
I did thx bet u had a great flight
Tui are the best
Great review 👍. Out of interest, how tall are you? Flying on the TUI 737-800 this week and there are no exit seats available on the outbound flight (I’m v tall so usually book one). Hopefully I can wedge myself in!
Thanks for watching. I am 6ft tall and found the seat ok on this flight. I wouldn’t want to be on it for too long though.
Blake Edgington - Airborne thanks for the reply 👍 I’m 6 foot 4 so I may choose an aisle. Never not been able to get an exit in years!
M Rogs definitely choose the aisle if you are that tall. I hope it offers a little comfort.
@@pandamike88 to get an exit seat you need to book sufficiently far in advance. The seat pitch in the standard seats is awful, I'm nearly 6ft and am wedged in on them. Ryanair has better seat pitch which says it all !
Amazing video i subbed ;)
Thanks TheDragonFlyer it’s much appreciated
I’m off on a Tui 737 800 next week to Zante and couldn’t get extra leg room seats or anything as they were already taken. Just wondering how tall you are? I have a feeling my knees will be in bits when we land. I’m 6ft 3 for reference. Thanks
I am 6ft 1 and would recommend extra legroom if possible.
@@BlakeEdgington Thanks for replying. No leg room seats are available, unfortunately. Will have to bare it 😅 Thanks again.
Cross the t dot the I and put u in the middle tui discover your smile😁
It's a catchy slogan.
Lol the plane you flyed is the one I fly in P3D my flight sim!
Make sure you land it safely 😃
Blake Edgington - Airborne I land it safely, smooth ass landings and a bit of the centreline with smooth brakes
I LIVE IN INDIA. I'VE WORKED AT A TUI CONTACT CENTRE HERE FOR 3 YEARS OF MY GRADUATION LIFE
WATCHING THIS VIDEO ALMOST 2 YEARS AFTER RESIGNING BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF SPEAKING TO ALMOST 100 PASSENGERS ON A DAILY BASIS
IT MADE ME WANT TO TRAVEL THE ENTIRE WORLD ONE DAY...
NEXT MONTH I GRADUATE FROM LAW SCHOOL AND HOPE TO COME AND WORK IN EUROPE
WISH ME LUCK
CHEERS.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Congratulations on finishing law school.
@@BlakeEdgington Thank you😀
In August I’m going on a tui Boeing 737-800
I hope that you have a great flight Billy.
Thank you!
Did you hit any turbulence love the video
I am glad you enjoyed the video, tonight's upload is British Airways so be sure to check that out. The flight with TUI was a couple of months ago and was pretty smooth all the way to Palma.
I enjoyed the video
Good to hear!
Blake Edgington - Airborne thanks for replying
focus on cabin views a little more also, please :) anyway, you've got yourself another subscriber! :D
I will try to remember that Laur. Thanks for the Sub!
My favourite airport
I aim to please.
Blake Edgington - Airborne haha! That was a very quick response! I normally fly from that airport to Kos (KGS) and it is very convenient as of all the shops in the terminal
It review day so I am quite active getting the next video ready.
Always wanted to fly on a TUI 757-200, but as usual, I’m just stuck with those crappy Ryanair 737’s...
I have flown on the TUI 757 but not reviewed for the channel yet. I hope that I get the chance.
Here in America, we are stuck with CRJ-200s. I"d be glad to fly on a 737.
Here I am looking at a trip to review a CRJ!
Americans hate them, but the regionals won't give those cursed 50 seaters up.
One of my favorite aircraft!
Good video
Thank you Mathias.
I’m going Bulgaria with tui
I hope that you have a good flight. I am back on TUI next week, this time on the 787
How was it
If you are asking about the 787... brilliant. If you are asking about Bulgaria... no idea.
I haven’t been to Bulgaria yet, but I have read that it is one of the most beautiful coastlines in europe
What time did u depart and arrive?
According to my notes departure was 0735 and landed local time at 10:43
how long was the flight
Hi Teegan, I always note the flight duration in the description. For this flight it was 2 hours 12 minutes.
Blake Edgington - Airborne oh ok sorry i didn’t look in the description
Spotted easy jet
Well done!
Thanks
Ur gonna be stuck at Birmingham airports security line for atleast one hour
Weirdly I was there yesterday and it was fine.
I love tui🛫🛬✈️🛩💺
I am a fan myself.
If a 737 can reach Spain, then that means.. IM GETTING ON MY FAVORITE PLANE WITH AN AIRLINE I HAVE NEVER GONE ON BEFORE IN AUGUST WOOOOOOHOOOO
Have a great time.
The 737 can reach Morocco and Cape Verde in Africa, as well as Islas Canarias (politically Spain but geographically Africa).
A great trip report but why do you use the worst music ever. I would have subscribed if it wasn't for that.
Not a fan of TUI. They are way overrated for what you actually receive during the flight. I struggle to see what you get from the in flight service than you would from any other carrier (except for the grumpy, self pompous staff of course).
Pius X well your a bit broken 😂
On my flight the staff were very good and everything was high standard
Glad to hear it
I don't think you can pin point all staff because you may of had bad experience from one of them.
I watched a documentary about the 737 ng tonight scary stuff, you wouldn’t get me on one ,, NG. Next Generation, 737 check it out blimey safe journey folks ,,rather you Shane uk 🇬🇧
100 English.
1 like = 1 crash
No need for that
Crap tui 737-800 no free meal Turkish airlines better 737-800 they give free meal and they got entertainment
Accurate but one is a holiday airline and the other is a national carrier so you can’t really compare.
Im going to Turkey in two days with tui but im going with one of these bigger ones tui nordic🤠🇹🇷
Have a great time in Turkey!
Blake Edgington - Airborne thank you!😄
