Frequently asked
Is TUI's premium cabin a business class?
No, and TUI does not sell it as one. It is a premium recliner cabin: wider seats, more recline and more legroom in a two-by-three-by-two layout, a class between economy and what full-service carriers call business.
Is premium worth it on a TUI 787 flight?
On a long haul to the Caribbean or Mexico it earns a hard look, because the width and recline change how the hours pass. On the rare shorter sectors the maths gets less convincing.
Which premium seats should I choose?
The middle rows of the cabin. The window pairs suit couples, the centre trio holds the only middle seats in premium, and the rows at either end of the cabin sit closest to galleys and lavatories.
Where is the legroom in economy on the 787-8?
At the bulkhead rows opening each economy section. Beyond those, the cabin is uniform nine-abreast, so position and a window-or-aisle preference do the deciding.
Which economy seats are the weakest?
Middle seats in the centre block, the rows beside the mid-cabin lavatories, which take the standing traffic, and the deepest rear rows, which disembark last.
