TUI Passengers Find Themselves in North Africa Instead of London Gatwick
LONDON — On a seemingly typical Saturday, TUI passengers were in for a surprise. Instead of landing at London Gatwick as anticipated, they found themselves descending towards an airport in North Africa. (www.airlinerwatch.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Many of you are talking about this situation from a US perspective. TUI is a European low-cost airline. It being low-cost means that you can't expect all the perks of a full-service carrier like frequent flyer miles etc. To be honest, a four-hour delay is really nothing for a low-cost carrier and it got another of their aircraft in the air.
"Instead of taking you home, we're going to a third world craphole."
"Oh, that's fine, no difference, then."

This happened last year with a flight from the UK (Forgot which origin) to Melbourne, FL when they had to deliver a new crew to Bangor, Maine after an earlier flight was grounded there due to a sick crew member.
It happens.

Having flown in four of TUI Antique 737-800's in the last year. I'm not suppressed of the technical issues. They need to replace the 12-13 year old 737-800 with better aircraft. I.E. A320 NEOs ect.
The airline really treats it customers badly.

They have to pay for them first.

@wannabehocker, yes, thank you. Well said.
When will the corporate lying, the corporate white lying, and the corporate "fingers in their ears la-la-la-la-la" ever end? It's grown to be so tiresome and so wearisome.
Time to start counting all of the elephants in the room and instituting accountability.
