TUI travel warning as ‘limited food’ available on flights – Britons should bring own

TUI is one of the UK’s most popular holiday companies and many British passengers are expected to fly with the airline this year. However, passengers have been advised to bring their own food.

TUI’s statement said: “We can confirm that unfortunately due to staff shortages with our catering supplier, there may be limited food and drinks services available onboard TUI Airways short and mid-haul flights over the coming days.

“Customers may therefore want to bring their own food and soft drinks onboard (no alcohol permitted.

“Any soft drinks over 100ml will need to be purchased after you have passed through security.

“Please note this disruption does not affect any long-haul flights to Aruba, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Orlando and St Lucia and meal services on these flights will continue to operate as normal.

“Please be assured we are continuously monitoring the situation and working closely with our suppliers to limit the impact to the onboard service for our customers.

“We are directly contacting all customers impacted. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience caused.”

Customers who will be impacted by food shortages should have been contacted by the airline ahead of their flight.

Long-haul passengers should not be affected by the issues and will not need to bring their own food.

DON’T MISS

In April, TUI advised its passengers to travel to the airport earlier than usual due to security queue delays.

Passengers for Manchester airport were advised that check in opens three hours before a short-haul flight.

It advised passengers not to arrive at the airport before the three hour slot as they would not be able to check in.

Britons are advised to check their bag for liquids and remove shoes and jackets for a smooth security experience.
