I am currently looking for a holiday for summer 26. Jet2 ia not much cheaper than Tui on a knock for knock, and flight times from Bristol and Birmingham (for me) aren't great.

TUI SUMMER 2026

After looking through the schedule there’s supposedly 3 gaps left with all the increases and new routes currently

Tuesdays AM and PM
Sundays AM

This is presuming FAO & HRG are 1 weekly and the extra ATY is not currently showing

Any thoughts on what could be filled as of current? Obviously there’s still months to see. I reckon the Tuesday PMI may turn into W pattern.

Would be nice to see something like Rhodes get a frequency increase. They might add more to Dalaman as well.

Verona would be nice as well.

Update 14/5/2025
This is what Summer 2026 for TUI looks like at the moment
50 weekly departures, 5 of which are non based. This is an increase of 3 weekly departures on Summer 2025 with Mallorca going from 6 to 7 weekly with the addition of a flight on Wednesdays, Gran Canaria going 2 weekly and Fuerteventura 1 weekly carrying on from the winter.

Palma de Mallorca 7 weekly (2 non based)
Tenerife South 3 weekly
Dalaman 3 weekly
Antalya 3 weekly (1 non based other carrier)
Enfidha 2 weekly
Menorca 2 weekly
Ibiza 2 weekly
Alicante 2 weekly

Hurghada will potentially be 1p/w as well. Launching on the 2nd of May which is a Saturday. Whether that launch date implies the first flight I’m not sure.

Faro launches on the 21st of May which is a Thursday.

I completely forgot about Hurghada!

Hurghada will potentially be 1p/w as well. Launching on the 2nd of May which is a Saturday. Whether that launch date implies the first flight I’m not sure.

At the moment there's no gap on Saturdays for Hurghada.
The gaps are Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
I expect Faro will take up the Thursday morning slot. That potentially leaves Friday evening or Tuesdays for Hurghada.

I thought DLM was Friday evening after ATY. If so that leaves Saturday PM for the proposed HRG launch

You're right it is, i made a mistake. Read the website wrong.

I made a mistake. There is a gap on Saturdays.

 

[Samdorob]

Thinking about Faro, I imagine that’s a route that could become year round. I’m pretty sure there’s spare availability between the two winter aircraft.

There's potentially a gap on Tuesday afternoons after Alicante. Another option is the route starting in April as there's a slot in April on Thursday afternoons. Personally I think that could be the most likeliest option.

I would love a sneaky Italian route to be squeezed in there.

I would love a sneaky Italian route to be squeezed in there.

As its winter then it would be a ski route. I can't see them doing Turin but then again I didn't see Salzburg being a route. Maybe a wildcard and could only be done in December but I'd love to see them do Kittila as a santa route.

 

[MJC73]

Verona would open up the Dolomiti region?

Ruka in Finland is a super resort and I think its only Gatwick and Manchester which fly that route.

Verona would open up the Dolomiti region?

Verona would be a summer route though for Lakes and Mountains holidays.

Good news, Faro 2 weekly will push TUI up to 53 weekly flights, with two empty slots on a Tuesday to fill.

I wouldn't be surprised if the aircraft on Tuesdays will do a W pattern to another airport.

I can imagine this is a response from the FR partnership. TUI will have seen the booking rates on the packages they offer with FR, and can see the demand is worth operating their own schedule with longer forward booking lead in times than FR can offer, making this a relatively low risk move on their part

Also they have to find routes for the 4th aircraft! They sacrificed Faro before so another route could go 2 weekly if I remember correctly.
Hopefully it won't effect Ryanair Faro too much.
