TUI - We Do Not Feel Safe

eDicky

Your flights are within Europe. Any airline that shows the slightest deficiency in safety record and standards is banned from European airspace, there are several non European airlines that are or have been so restricted and it is no simple matter to regain access. The oversight of European airlines is, if anything, even more intense.

But if you feel the need to spend the next three weeks scanning reviews for every possible ignorant and ill informed opinion to reinforce your feelings of insecurity, it would simply be better for you to stay at home.

I've flown on Titan twice.

No issues at all. Better than an EasyJet or Ryan Air anyway!

i've flown on a Tupolev 154 from UK to Bulgaria where the previous operator's logo had been scribbled out and the new company's logo painted on with a roller.

Remember the Airbus A320 crashed on a launch/display flight in 1988.

Sukhoi Superjet smashed into a mountain on a sales flight.

Tupolev 204 played hopscotch on a Moscow runway early in its life in 2010.

So Boeing have recalled the 737 max for safety reasons and you'll be on an older, poven aircraft. If you're lucky you'll have teetotal rocker Bruce Dickinson as your pilot.

Want to know an unsafe flight, the internal flight i got in Tanzania by AirExcel, small 16 seater think it was.


You turn up at the airstrip (there is no airport building), you tell the pilot your name and he checks you off a list. No proof of ID or anything. You then put your own luggage in the hold which never gets weighed. So you have to hope the plane isnt overweight, or the pilot becomes ill as their is no co-pilot

Nice and comfy is less of an issue. I guess I just don't like the principle of falling back on your T&C's to enable you to provide drastically inferior service to the customer for the same price. The mistake is theirs, but it is the customer being penalised with zero sufferance on their part.

But far, far more importantly, I just want me and my family to be, and feel, safe.

The mistake is Boeing’s. The potentially unsafe TUI planes are grounded, and safe alternatives have been sourced, surely that’s good customer service on TUIs part?

I've read some of the 'terrible' reviews:
I don't believe the 'rust'

I've been on charter planes used by Olympic Holidays with 'foreign' crew - ASL France, Small Planet (Lithuanian) - and managed to understand the safety demonstrations. But then again, I wasn't looking for something to complain about. Maybe those people who wrote about this were expecting the locals in Greece or Spain to speak the Queen's English...

No music or TV? Did that poster really expect IFE on a short haul flight? :rotfl:

Complaining about slow check-in on return journey? H e l l o. That would be the staff provided by the airport you flew from not the crew that flew you home.

Child's case badly damaged? Did that poster really think that the air crew loaded passenger baggage? :rotfl:

You should bear in mind that the reviews by people who had booked with TUI were probably written by people annoyed/angry about not flying on a TUI plane.

Have you read the positive reviews as well as the negative ones?

You have a choice:

• fly with the airline TUI have chartered to get you to your holiday
• cancel and pretty much all of the money you've paid

Interior windows, so the reviews say.

What is an interior window in a plane ?

Is there a double glazing salesman hereabouts ?

It's a piece of clear acrylic set into side wall panels to stop passengers' tongues getting stuck to the exterior window when it's -50 degrees out.

It's a bit of plastic that's on the inside rather than the proper window about an inch away on the outside.
