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.
