| Trip Report | Overnight on the 787! |TUI Airways Boeing 787-9 Melbourne Orlando to Manchester

Hello,
Welcome to this video!
Today's video is a Trip Report onboard the TUI Airways Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from Melbourne Orlando International Airport to Manchester,
This was my first long haul overnight flight in 3 years!
We were 2hrs late departing due to a late departure aircraft but we did make up some time for it during the flight on our dreamliner with strong tail winds over the Atlantic Ocean,
With arrival into Manchester, we were greeted with a remote stand with stairs to deplane the aircraft which allowed us for some great videos of G-TUIJ, the 787 in question that flew us 😃
Hope you enjoy :)
Any questions feel free to ask 👌

Will be doing the same flight in the summer again which will include a much better trip report that this particular one!

[@PaulPhilbin-wu5ny]

You 😊

[@finberaviation]

I went on a night flight from MLB to BHX in August. I went on a TUI 787-8 out of BHX and out of MLB. It’s amazing

[@alcaviation]

I'll be doing the TUI 787 yet again in the summer

[@ConsoleCraze190]

@@alcaviationI will also fly a TUI 787-8 to CUN also in the summer

[@davidgoldstrong8286]

We're going on the dreamliner to Orlando later this year for my 50 th birthday with tui really looking forward to it, great video

[@gunvaldsandhaland7757]

Ive never fly Tui .Good job

[@FursAndAviation]

Awesome trip report!

[@dannyh9063]

On the Doncaster flight before yours , absolutely knackered 😴

[@planespottingringway]

Brilliant video josh! Really enjoyed that, and it was great that you could de Board by stairs 😄✈️

[@alcaviation]

Yes would have been amazing if I could 😂😂😂, thanks for watching bud :)

[@Disneythroughourveins]

How strange that TUI dont serve Fanta - its one of my faves so thats good to know x thanks for sharing - we enjoyed watching x

[@GlobalaircraftspotterShorts_]

Fantastic

[@reee8299]

I’m going Florida in 2023 and obviously gotta look at my experience (I’m flying from birmingham)

[@Oliver-it3wl]

I flew about a month ago to Cancun with tui on the 787 Dreamliner , and I have to say that it made Ryanair look sparkling clean. The aircraft was disgusting and when you have to spend 10 hours in sitting in filth it certainly wasn’t the best flight I’ve ever been on. With all that , I was pleasantly surprised at the services throughout the flight. Just a shame that such an advanced plane is so mistreated , I think I have seen trains cleaner than the cabin.

[@louisthetravelspotter]

brilliant trip report

[@FmToGlory]

Underated KZbinr.

[@alcaviation]

Cheers, means a lot :)

[@leearmstrong280]

We flew to Melbourne from Manchester on G-TUIJ on May1st. Its called Pixie Dust. Nice plane.

[@alcaviation]

Yep, same one as in this video:)

[@jsmaviation]

Best KZbinr 🙌🏻

[@alcaviation]

Doubt that 😂😭

[@757Superfan]

Excellent video. Unfortunately I had an issue with dirt in the cabin with TUI, along with many other KZbinrs I’ve watched! TUI need to sort it out. Keep up the great work.

[@theaviator8088]

Amazing video! MLB is my local airport and I can’t wait to see more trip reports on this airport! Thank you!!

[@alcaviation]

Not a bother pal, was a nice little airport

[@fsrick1]

Lovely video!

[@alcaviation]

Thanks Ricky 👍

[@CPlanespotting]

Awesome video

[@alcaviation]

Thanks Casey :)

[@jrsaviation4649]

Fantastic trip report bro

[@alcaviation]

Thanks Swan :)

[@MrBcsack]

MLB departures are all sorted now - more shops & plenty of seating - flew from there to UK 2 weeks ago - 3 x TUI 787's left in an hour & MLB handled that no problem

[@foxecho727]

My neighborhood in Cocoa Florida at 8:50 🙂 with Cape Canaveral (Kennedy Space center) in between

[@dlite1972]

I’ve never flown the “Dreamliner” but it looks no different from the other aircraft I’ve had the displeasure of being crammed into.

[@andrewstorm8240]

It’s abit better - like 10% more airy

[@nickjlyons]

Totally agree…other than more perceived ceiling room due to the cantilever overhead storage bins it’s the same as every other aircraft. No room, a bit dirty and the usual groans and moans from your fellow passengers and their little angels.

[@maxharris1203]

Was on the first transatlantic tui flight here back in March

[@alcaviation]

Nice one mate

[@lorenzomag100]

I dont mind Tui,flew with them 3 years ago to Corfu,and flying with them next year..The area around the bathroom sink looked grubby to me..

[@chocoholic832]

On our tui flight back from Mauritius the plane was in a disgusting state. Just glad I got some wipes to clean around our seating area. The toilets were just as bad if not worse. Food was ok apart from the breakfast toastie.

[@OliviaO9]

Cool video and also i will be there in 2 days

[@alcaviation]

Great! Hope you enjoy Florida 😃

[@OliviaO9]

Thanks!

[@helenpeck1954]

Due to fly next year on same route, got me worried now I am profoundly deaf and rely on boards to let me know when and where I should be. I have no chance with announcements 😔

[@ianmacdonald1956]

We flew in the premium cabin in June. The plane was filthy. On our return flight the steward was a right misery, he was for ever combing his hair and stood behind the curtain drinking the mini jack daniels. When he brought breakfast he practically threw it at you. The breakfast was uneatable. The only good thing was the lounge at Melbourne, food and drinks very good. Come on TUI you can do better. 🤞😎

[@kermitTheFrog466]

ive seen a few videos where the plane looks filthy, flying from london to phuket in march. hopefully they clean it

[@martinwright9138]

good video but for those that are not quite that quick at reading you should leave you captions on longer

[@jackdavies8581]

Its really annoying how the crew can lock the dim feature on the window during the night flight on the Dreamliner, I mean when you have your window open during the it doesnt produce any light but you can have your in seating tv screens on watching movies so whats the difference?

[@tahdrah55]

Exactly, I myself like to look out the window even if it’s nighttime passengers that want to sleep can use eye masks provided by the airline.

[@jimmygadd]

ohh i have a friend that lives there in melbourne, is the flights only from UK or do you know if they fly from sweden to? i know i can check it out, just asking

[@alcaviation]

Just uk

[@lindadasilva5493]

I’m flying tomorrow with tui going from Manchester to Melbourne, not looking forwards to this side but Melbourne looks good,any tips, thanks for the video. X

[@alcaviation]

Hi, if you can get a fast pass or something at Manchester Airport, that will almost definitely help you pass the long queues I had back in June, there are no shops around the arrivals area at MLB

[@alcaviation]

Anything you wish to get, try and get them on the aircraft, that's all I can say Enjoy your flight ✈️😃

[@lindadasilva5493]

Do you mean a fast pass to get through the airport security, where do I get them from ?.

[@alcaviation]

@@lindadasilva5493 fast track, can be booked I believe but since you are flying tomorrow you would need to check with TUI to see if you can buy them if yous want, come with an extra price however

[@foxecho727]

Visit the Kennedy space center if you can! enjoy the space coast! 😁

[@thomasingram6853]

Saw that flight leave Manchester live on airliners live KZbin channel

[@alcaviation]

The outbound?

[@thomasingram6853]

@@alcaviation yes the outbound from Manchester to Orlando on Sunday

[@paulqueenan178]

Can't..off in August 😊

[@nobodyspecial7185]

Used to build dreamliners and live in Melbourne.

[@alcaviation]

Oooo, nice one

[@ranjitmene9616]

Nice video. Was it very hot in the plane when you boarded?

[@alcaviation]

Tbh the airport had nice AC on with the aircraft fairly cool until the GPU (ground power unit) broke down which provides power to the aircraft without the aircraft needing to use its own power

[@ryanhession1440]

Hi mate been Florida for 15 years is it just over 9 hours flying out from Manchester

[@alcaviation]

Yep, I've done the Glasgow and Manchester flights to MCO/MLB/SFB quite a lot down the year's

[@kacperkrakowski]

Seems like TUI have never heard of a cleaning crew

[@alcaviation]

😂 True 😭

[@dunslaycasson3263]

Always like to know what the food is like. No Fanta orange that is tui off my flight list. Not being critical but need to sharpen up the whole video presentation and watch the spelling. All makes for a more professional experience. Good to see a video for the vast majority of air passengers and not ones in First and Business Class! Look forward to the next one.

[@atid42]

It's just a shame Melbourne is closer to the UK than what it is to Disney and Universal

[@billyboy733]

Beats me how anyone can sleep on @ airplane

[@flight101]

Bloody awful… the cost of extra leg room seats sucks and everyone is squashed in the seats that are WAY too small. It’s no different to a basic Ryan air

[@Djnffnoeosmfasjjd]

yes thats because its supposed to be lower cost long haul

[@johnwalton8132]

Not a airline I would choose to use these days

[@mxyzptlyk]

I won't fly on the 787 because I need to have control over my window shade. Oh, why do airlines need to close the blinds at night? Its DARK outside anyway! It sounds like TUI aren't too interested in the presentation of their aircraft. Dirty and grubby seems acceptable for them. A nice report and, just a note, there's no "s" in aircraft. The plural of aircraft is... aircraft. Just sayin'

[@adamaddybabe517]

Do you get alcoholic drinks provided?

[@ThePrissy11]

Cattle car at best with non-inspiring food.

[@willswomble7274]

Melbourne, FLA. Is that twinned with Paris, Texas? How we, all around the planet, laugh at Americans! Ain't ever going there, guess where my bags will end up!

[@bedminstereric]

Thank you for not coming here!

[@FloridaVibesOfficial]

Melbourne is not Orlando that's over 1 hr away.. 😂😂😂

[@alcaviation]

Go and take that up with TUI 😭

[@jefdepijper4550]

The A350 is much better

[@thomasfy4]

What an awful departure airport

[@jefdepijper4550]

Tui planes are a disaster
