FAQs

 What’s included with a free child place? 

A free child place includes the flight, accommodation, food and drink, and transfers to and from the airport. 

Do I qualify for a free child place? 

To qualify for a free kids' place holiday, there must be a minimum of one child travelling with you. There also needs to be at least two full-paying passengers travelling on the same booking. That can be either two adults and one child, or one adult and two children. Just so you know, if there are multiple children on your booking, the free child place will be allocated to the youngest child.

How many free child places are available per booking? 

For each holiday, we offer a maximum of one free kids’ place. This goes to the youngest child if there is more than one child travelling. A minimum of two full-paying passengers must also be travelling on the same booking.

Travel with your children at no extra cost

Our free child place offer applies to new bookings only, on selected holidays subject to limited availability. Only one free child place is available in each selected hotel room or selected apartment type or villa with a minimum of two full-paying adults. Other children must pay the full price. Please see www.tuiholidays.ie or the relevant brochure for full booking terms and conditions.
