TUI flight FAQs

What’s included in my flight only ticket?

Are drinks and snacks available on a TUI flight?

You can purchase drinks and snacks like crisps and confectionery in the sky thanks to our onboard café service. And when you fly long haul, your meals and drinks are included. Meals come with a glass of wine, or cordial for under 18s. Plus, you’ll be offered a hot drink afterwards.

How can I pay for things onboard TUI flights?

Cash

Just so you know, we only accept card payments on TUI flights.

Credit and debit cards

We accept Visa, Visa Debit, MasterCard and MasterCard Debit onboard TUI flights. Unfortunately, you won't be able to use AMEX, Diners' Club, Maestro, Electron, Solo, Monzo or Revolut cards.

Prepaid cards

We can't accept prepaid cards – including the TUI Travel Money Card – onboard. This is because, onboard our aircraft, we work in what's called an offline environment. This means our payment machines aren't connected to the bank, so we can't confirm that there's enough money on the card to cover the items you're paying for.

What airports can I fly from?

You can fly with us from three Irish airports – Dublin, Cork and Shannon.

What should I do if my luggage is lost or delayed?

Please visit our lost or delayed luggage page for information.
