Will be doing this particular flight again in the summer again which will include a much better edited video that this one! Will admit I slightly rushed this!
Great video m8,We just flew TUI a few weeks back there from Glasgow to Melbourne and back,At one point on the way home we got to an altitude of 41 thousand feet and the highest speed I saw was 796 mph,I personally didn’t know the Dreamliner could go that fast,
I just checked and im going on this exact flight in 9 days flight BY122 from manchester to melbourne at the same time aswell hopefully were not delayed 6 hours
Well, I can give you a pretty good reason why that Tui 787 was filthy. The cleaners simply aren’t given enough time to, you know, actually clean the aircraft much of the time. Imagine that you’re a cleaner literally halfway through cleaning one of the lavatories. You just need two more minutes to finish it. But before you can, you’re told to drop it and leave the plane immediately by the dispatcher on order of the captain who wants everyone off right away so passengers can be boarded. Or imagine that you’re told that you don’t need to wipe the folding table if there’s no stains. And oooh I’d love a word with that pilot. Cleaners DON’T choose when to board the aircraft. They don’t choose how long they get. And they often don’t get to choose the standard of cleaning. It’s all hurry hurry hurry go go go go no time to do a decent job just get off fast. What a jerk. Yeah the cleaners were most likely late because they were being rushed from plane to plane without sufficient time between slots.
I feel like the name melbourne Orlando is just such a lie as someone who lived in melbourne FL for a hot minute lol for a bit more context on why orlando melbourne is "new" melbourne was never allowed to say they are "orlando" for years, (proof is at 21:59 notice there is 0 mention of orlando!) because they simply are not in the orlando metro area at all! (nor is there realistic transit to get there nor are there any plans to incorporate any as Brevard county has denied Brightlines many offers to build a station in the county. the county officials are under this allusion Brevard county has a trouism industry and a train line will somehow eliminate it) yet the only airline to bring tourists is TUI who are going to "orlando" and the only attraction we have is a defunct space center and an crappy rundown beach. after they were allowed to market themselves as "orlando" they started going after orlando sanford airport's airlines (which actually is close enough to orlando to be in the metro area) even offering to remodel and thus why the only international airlines at Sanford jumped ship for melbourne because tourists will just assume they are in orlando and the airlines saved money! MLB actually did have international flights before the "orlando" name but it was a Canadian airline called porter and it was seasonal and obviously canadians are not going to fall for this as they have multiple non stops to MCO. I'm glad you finally reviewed this flight i've been very curious how tui is as the essential sole operator at MLB other than regional jets only flying to 2-3 places.
@@alcaviation very true at least there is public transit in England. In Melbourne you’re just in the middle of the city you’d have to drive to Orlando or even to the port honestly. I highly doubt any cruise lines offer a shuttle all the way to Port Canaveral for such an underserved airport. They do have services from mco ironically the further airport lol
This was informative, I watch occasionally to remind myself why I do not fly anymore . At 6'-4" flying is painful and exhausting, I cannot afford business or first, and economy is pretty much a cattle truck service. The tinted windows are a good idea !
flying on a TUI Dreamliner…….hardly a Dream and certainly not a Liner. I’ve just been on a TUI Dreamliner from Gatwick to Cancun and back. The flight out was pretty rubbish, the flight back was a total embarrassment. I sat in the front row (bigger seats etc), my screen was broken, the tray leaned so far to the left once out of the central armrest my food tray would fall off if I didn’t hold onto it. My seat and surrounding area was filthy and the crew didn’t know what food we were having - ‘chicken with something, beef with something and pasta with something’, take your pick. To be fair the crew were lovely, however the aircraft was like flying in the 80’s on a knackered old Trident or similar, not flying in a 8 year old Dreamliner. Sorry TUI, you were terrible and I will not fly your airline again if I can help it.
Oh you aren’t kidding about the awful state of Tui Dreamliners. There is one where one of the trailing edge flaps hangs down from the wing instead of laying flat in alignment with the rest of the wing when on the ground. It’s not dangerous otherwise the pilots would refuse to fly it but it sure looks tacky. Another one has the innermost layer of one of the windows broken and taped up and while I was kneeling across one of the rows to clean the other side, the whole plastic cover on the side of the chair fell off. The whole thing looks tacky and old.
Excellent review, thanks for taking the time. I note you gave passenger numbers relating to the 787-9, TUI also operate a 787-8 version on long haul with a slightly lower capacity. Pointing this out for the benefit of those looking to travel in the Premium section where the last row, row 7, has no window. Strangely enough row 6 in front has two.
Aww good vid! We flew on G-Tuil Oct 18th 2021 from Las Palmas Gran Canaria to Birmingham. Initially the plane was supposed to be 737 Max 8 but ended up with the 787-9. We had purchased extra leg room in row 4 on the max 8 (same as the flight out) cause my son is 6ft 2. So due to air craft change we still ended up in row 4 extra leg room but that ended up being in premium economy! Sooooo roomy. As it’s a 2-3-2 configuration. We were in the centre and row 4 so I didn’t get to see what the windows seat was like in terms of cleaning! We didn’t get any of the package that come with premium economy, as that’s not available on this route! I was more than happy with the seat and crew. This aircraft was so smooth! Unrelated to the flight, we got to see the ash cloud from the volcano on la palma!
Great video! However I think you were in seat 39J, as I flew on the exact same aircraft a few weeks ago to Punta Cana right where you are. If you were 39F you wouldn’t have a window. I agree the aircraft was extremely dirty, especially down the sides! The crew weren’t amazing either, some rather rude due to delays.
@@alcaviation 39F is an aisle seat, is it not? Therefore wouldn’t have a window. Considering you have a window seat, then it’s 39J. You are correct, row 42 does not have any windows either side.
The comment about virgin at the end if you don't want delays. I've flown virgin to orlando for the past 3 years all of which wetr delayed at least 2 hrs. Delays effect all airlines regardless of scheduled or chartered.
Melbourne Orlando International Airport was originally just called Melbourne International Airport. The airport officials first renamed it Orlando Melbourne International Airport because they wanted to associate it with Orlando and adding Orlando to the existing signs was very easy to do. They were sued by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority for using Orlando at the start of the name since the airport is 87 miles from Orlando. That's when they renamed it Melbourne Orlando International Airport. The locals still just call it Melbourne International Airport. All that being said, despite the distance from Orlando, it is still a very good choice for Orlando bound travelers because it is relatively small and quick for passengers to deplane, collect their luggage and clear passport control and customs (Yes, at this airport you college your luggage before passport control). Rental cars are located directly outside the airport door. You literally can be in your hired car and on the way to your destination 30 minutes after leaving the airplane.
Since I lived in Melbourne 30 years I can tell you that Melboune Reginal Airport was renamed Melbourne International Airport in the late 1980s. I have no clou why it now is called Melbourne Orlando International Airport since Melbourne is on the east coast and Orlando approx 35 miles away in the center of the state.
When Manchester Airport Opened The runway was 24 and 06. not 23R/05L . and then it was 24R/05L And 24L/05R. untill it was recalibrated. To 23s And 05s.
I’ve always had a positive experience with Tui. I flew on their 787 Dreamliner on a holiday to Jamaica back in 2018 and the experience was just fantastic. I actually loved the food they served onboard too
I’ve just got back from a trip with tui 787 from Bristol to Cancún and can honestly say it was the most filthiest vile plane i have ever flown. It made Ryanair look clean . The problem stemmed from the fact that the inbound flight was late and they wanted cut the delay down.but for ten hours it was inexcusable . I know tui don’t offer a emirates class service but there flights are cheap long haul. Apart from that I was fairly impressed the services offered and surprised about the free drinks and main meal and landing snacks given to basic economy.
That is quite the unacceptable from TUI, shows how bad they're scheduling for long haul services are with barely enough time to clean the aircraft which ruins the experience 110%
If you could give me time, date and tail number I could probably give you some insight. Unless the arrival in Bristol was after 6pm or before 9am there’s a high chance I was probably one of the poor bastards trying to get it clean with a tiny team and very short turnaround time.
Fantastic flight report, it was really informative! I've never seen a TUI long haul report so it was interesting to see it. Hopefully TUI can sort out the delay issue for flights in the future.
Thanks for watching bud! I did look at the TUI long haul trip reports before this video and saw I could go and have a crack at it!, Yes the delays is something that needs fixed quickly with TUI making big losses from this...
@@alcaviation I have booked tui long haul for next year to the Dominican Republic in premium club on the tui Dreamliner 787 so excited it’s my first time to fly on the Dreamliner a late birthday present to myself so can’t wait great video mate gets me excited seeing the Dreamliner
@@alcaviation it wouldn’t of bothered me about the delay, as long I got there that all matters but things happen but great video I’m so excited bud thankyou bud keep up the good work
I've flown the TUI Dreamliner from the UK to Florida several times over the last 6 yrs. Games were available to every one on the IFE system. When did it change that it's only available for Premium Economy?
Well from my experience, the delay ruined our day, we were staying more central Florida and about 1 and a half hour drive and by the time we actually got checked in it was 1am... So if you are staying more central Orlando for the parks and stuff, I would advise MCO flights are more suitable for a delay
Went Mia to Bru on 7-9-22; great flight on time yet I never ever flown in such an uncomfortable plane! Sure TUI stacks the seats but why were these seats soo uncomfortable? Overused? Sure ticket price was unbeatable but gosh can they update their seats?
Really enjoyed your video! I've got a flight with TUI on the 787 in a few weeks (sadly just a short hop to PMI), but looking forward to seeing what its like onboard. Hopefully its a bit cleaner than yours was! 🤢
@@GLAFly great that you are taking advantage of the GLA based 787's, not long till they're gone for a while at GLA, spotted a few at Glasgow since they've put them on GLA base :)
Hi thanks for the flight report it was very interesting,I am due to fly with tui on 16th august going to Melbourne, while your on board do you pay for food and drinks or are they provided ?
The cheap meal is but these charter carriers and low cost make their money on booze, drinks and games as auxiliary revenue as does low low costs, wouldn’t surprise me if they charge for headphones and don’t supply amenity kits
One wonders why the lecture by cabin crew started when there only a few passengers on board. Presumably they repeated the whole bl***y thing when all passengers had boarded
@@squishhhhhh thanks, it would be very un efficient if they did have 4 engines on these flights with fuel consumption etc, one of the main factors why virgin decided to unfortunately retire the 747 fleet that were normally on the MCO flights, unfortunately 4 engines are pretty much a thing of the past 😭
Have flown on these Dreamliners a few times, such a lovely plane. Cannot understand why Jet2 are not running a few to Turkey and the Caneries? Is it purely down to cost?
The rubbish in the window seat area is just disgusting. I dread to think what the toilets are like. That’s Tui off my list of carriers. It seems the return to pre covid has caught everyone in the airline industry by surprise.
Tui do it to themselves. They refuse to land their planes in the mornings and then arrange it so that anything between 3 to 6 planes all land within 2-3 hours or so after lunch. This means the understaffed cleaning teams scurry from plane to plane with no time to do a proper job.
Remember when a fight arrives 8 hours late, that means all the staff working on it have worked an extra 8 hours. The cleaners are then rushed to try and get the plane clean and things can get messed up. Remember when it took us 54 hours to get home from Orlando to Manchester with 3 kids, that was a nightmare but at least I wasn’t working and dealing with irate passengers and lost luggage !
Nice video. I want to ask your flight was delayed for more than 3 hrs so did tui give you any compensation? if you had Premium economy ticket then why you are sitting in Economy class?
We flew this route with TUI April 23 - all flights on time, plane clean & tidy. Went thru MLB with TUI twice last year and suffered the rubbish & lateness - so i'm not a TUI fanboy by any means. From what i've read it was all a knock on effect of the scheduling issue with airport manpower getting back to normal after COVID. Hopefully that's all in the past now. My biggest gripe with TUI is the cabin announcements - jeez they just go on and on ........

Tui do it to themselves. They refuse to land their planes in the mornings and then arrange it so that anything between 3 to 6 planes all land within 2-3 hours or so after lunch. This means the understaffed cleaning teams scurry from plane to plane with no time to do a proper job.
Ten seats across. Fly first class
Remember when a fight arrives 8 hours late, that means all the staff working on it have worked an extra 8 hours. The cleaners are then rushed to try and get the plane clean and things can get messed up.
Remember when it took us 54 hours to get home from Orlando to Manchester with 3 kids, that was a nightmare but at least I wasn’t working and dealing with irate passengers and lost luggage !
By the way, that 54 hour delay….. virgin.
Amazing trip report!
Thanks a lot mate!
The only existing pier at Manchester ? there is 4 including this one, one being on t3, 2 being on t1, and this one
Only existing pier at the T2 at Manchester.
Nice!
Cheers Daan!
@@alcaviation cheers
Started well, and then the crap music started !!
Thanks for the feedback.
If it’s the music played when the plane had passengers boarding then that was Tui’s fault.
Nice video. I want to ask your flight was delayed for more than 3 hrs so did tui give you any compensation? if you had Premium economy ticket then why you are sitting in Economy class?
Hi, I was in economy for this flight, compensation has been made with pretty much the whole flight being covered £520 per person.
@@alcaviation excellent news
If you are going to use captions rather than talking (though talking is far more engaging), please get your spelling and grammar checked.
No thanks.
That’s sounds quite rude
I get on any plane at the very last moment, why people want to get on first baffles me !
Going on last results in more queueing, plus desperate folk like me like planes and we are stupid
Fantastic video bro. Keep up the fantastic work
Cheers pal!
I remember the dreadful 767 flights to Australia and New Zealand, but they were cheap alternative at the time
Nice video:)
Cheers Jake!
Don’t like the rainbow lights if they are trying to signify something
We flew this route with TUI April 23 - all flights on time, plane clean & tidy. Went thru MLB with TUI twice last year and suffered the rubbish & lateness - so i'm not a TUI fanboy by any means. From what i've read it was all a knock on effect of the scheduling issue with airport manpower getting back to normal after COVID. Hopefully that's all in the past now. My biggest gripe with TUI is the cabin announcements - jeez they just go on and on ........
