TUI Holidays From Your Local Airport
TUI Brands
The TUI Group owns a number of holiday brands that you may be familar with, including:
TUI
TUI is the main holiday brand (used to be known as Thomson Holidays), offering package holidays to some of the world's most popular destinations including brands like TUI Family Life and the all inclusive TUI MAGIC LIFE. Over the year's it has become synonymous with the package holiday with flights from regional airports around the UK to popular holiday locations such as Majorca and the Algarve.
TUI sub-brands also include Holiday Village holidays and Splashworld Resorts, which can be ideal for family friendly holidays on a budget.
First Choice
Once known as the "Home of All Inclusive", First Choice Holidays has almost become the everything else brand, allowing customers to book less beach package holiday and more tailormade escapes like city breaks or longhaul trips.
Marella Cruises
Marella is TUIs cruise brand with five ships helping holidaymakers explore the world via the ocean. Many cruises start from ports outside of the UK.
Sensatori Resorts
At the top end of the budget, the TUI Sensatori brand offers a more luxurious style of holiday with 5-star accommodation in some of Europe's top holiday destinations including Ibiza, Tenerife and Turkey.
TUI BLUE Hotels
The TUI BLUE brand provides well designed hotels, excellent food experiences, fitness programmes, excursions and much more. It is split into three types of hotel, TUI BLUE For All which is a great all round hotel perfect for adults and children, TUI BLUE For Two which provides adults only holidays, and TUI BLUE For Families which offers outstanding kids' clubs, buggy friendly accommodation, children's buffet sections and much more.
TUI MAGIC LIFE
For the maximum all inclusive experience, TUI MAGIC LIFE hotels provide just that. With hotels in Fuerteventura, Bodrum, Calabria, Belek and many other destinations, TUI MAGIC LIFE are right by the beach, have a huge range of fun and exciting sports, activities and entertainment, as well as 24 hour all inclusive dining.
Small & Friendly
If you prefer a quieter holiday with more of a local feel, TUI's Small & Friendly holidays are perfect. Enjoy family run hotels in destinations like Sorrento and Skiathos for a great holiday.
Lakes & Mountains
When the great outdoors beckons, TUI Lakes & Mountains provide the best way to discover a fantastic adventure holiday in Europe, with hotels set in beautiful scenery amongst the likes of Lake Como and the Dolomites.
Crystal Ski
If you love the winter sports, Crystal Ski is the brand for you. Offering ski and snowboarding holidays in popular resorts like the French Alps, Italian Dolomites and the Canadian Rockies, you'll find your ideal ski holiday with them.
TUI Hotel Only
If there is a particular hotel you'd like to stay at but want separate flights, you may be able to book a hotel only by calling TUI directly. It's worth checking the cost of a package holiday at the same time as booking your flights and hotel together may save you money.
Alternatively, and depending on the hotel, you may be able to book the hotel separately via another provider such as an online travel agent like Booking.com or Hotels.com. By doing this, if you're booking your flights separately, your holiday won't be ATOL protected, and will therefore be at risk of financial protection should your flights get cancelled and you need to cancel your hotel as a result. As a result, we always recommend booking a flight inclusive package holiday with ABTA and/or ATOL protection, with the likes of TUI where possible.
TUI Reviews & Contact
Especially since Coronavirus has affected holidays and travel, it's never been more important to understand the holiday company you are booking with. As a result, you should check the latest customer reviews, and there are a range of customer reviews online, from Trust Pilot to Trip Advisor for most holiday companies, including TUI. TUI are a good value holiday brand with years of experience in providing a range of holiday options, offering ATOL protection on packages. You'll receive an ATOL certificate when you book, but you should always take out comprehensive travel insurance, as well as check the latest travel advice on the FCDO website before you travel.
TUI flies from a wide range of UK airports including many regional airports like East Midlands, Manchester and Bristol, which can mean between June and August, you've got more options to fly from your local airport.
If you are thinking of booking, or have already booked and need to speak to someone, you can get in touch with the TUI team on 0203 636 1931. You can also find details of your booking within the TUI app.
Ways To Save
TUI Late Deals
If you're after some affordable holiday offers and can be a bit flexible, last minute holidays could be the right option for you. Perfect for couples or adult groups who can get away with minimal disruption, booking at the last minute can mean savings because flight seats and hotel rooms will otherwise go empty.
Flexibility really is key with getting the best offers, as flights to Turkey may be full, but one of the Greek islands may happen to have a lot of availability. Likewise booking with First Choice or even Crystal Ski (both part of TUI), you could nab yourself a cheap break. Note that you can't book a last minute holiday with a low deposit.
Now's the time to getaway so whether you're after a bargain or just want to get away at the last minute, be sure to check out the latest late deals with TUI here.
TUI Free Child Places
Another great opportunity to save money on a family holiday is with TUI free child places. When two full paying adults travel with a child, thousands of free child place holidays are available. For the child, the flight is free, the airport transfer is free, the accommodation is free (provided they are staying in the same room as their parents), and the board basis too.
Free kids' places can be perfect if you're going on an all inclusive holiday because all their drinks and food will be free as part of the package holiday!
TUI Discount Codes
Don't book your package holiday without checking for the latest TUI discount codes here. You can save hundreds of pounds on the best deals simply by adding a promo code to the booking when you pay. These are often added automatically as you get to the check-out.
TUI Holidays For Heroes
NHS staff can get exclusive extra discounts on thousands and thousands of getaways with TUI Holiday for Heroes, a scheme to help reward the hard working heroes of the NHS. These discounts are in addition to any extra promotions. Plus if your work commitments mean you have to change your dates, you can change your holiday dates free of charge*. Terms and conditions apply.
Popular Destinations
With a number of brands, there are so many popular destinations to discover. From the slopes of Switzerland to the beaches of Barbados, the choice is (almost) endless! Did you know they also have city breaks and villas too? Bigger airports like Manchester, Birmingham and Gatwick will have long haul flights to destinations like Mexico, Jamaica and St Lucia, while some of the more local airports like Liverpool, Norwich and Edinburgh may only have European flights to favourites like Majorca and the Algarve. Here are some of our favourite places to visit with TUI:
Canary Islands
For year round sunshine, the Canary Islands are the ideal destination. TUI holidays to Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote take around 4 hours to 4.5 hours and have a variety of accommodation options from cheap self catering apartments, to luxury all inclusive resorts.
Cape Verde
Often considered a bit of a hidden gem, Cape Verde, located off the coast of West Africa, enjoys soft sandy beaches and a gorgeously warm climate, perfect for escaping to the winter sun. You'll often find many holidaymakers who have been here return time and time again due to the facilities on offer, the beautiful scenery and the value for money on offer.
Thailand
Thailand is an incredible destination to visit and if you can't spare months to travel around the country, a week or two is well worth the visit, particularly as you're able to add on a few day trips and excursions to help you see more outside your hotel pool. Thailand is just one of the many long haul destinations they fly to, with other places like Vietnam, Tanzania and St Lucia also worth a look.
Lapland
That's right, TUI even visits Lapland, giving you the chance to take your loved ones away and enjoy the stunning scenery of northern Finland, to discover once-in-a-lifetime experiences such gazing at the Northern Lights, or cosying up on a husky sleigh ride.
Orlando, Florida
With direct flights to Florida, TUI have some great package holiday deals to Orlando and the theme parks. Whether it's Disney accommodation or family villas, TUI can package up flights, accommodation and car hire for an easy booking process.
