About
TUI Airways (formerly Thomson) operates charter and scheduled flights for TUI package holidays. They fly to more exotic destinations than typical budget carriers, including the Caribbean, Mexico, and long-haul beach resorts.
TUI operates from most UK airports including Manchester, Gatwick, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Newcastle, and more. Long-haul flights to the Caribbean and Mexico depart early morning and return overnight.
For families tracking holiday flights, TUI's long-haul routes involve significant timezone changes. A flight to Cancun lands evening UK time but mid-afternoon local time. Caribbean returns often land 6-8am UK time.
TUI also operates short-haul European routes to Canaries, Balearics, and Mediterranean destinations.
