If you have an existing booking for a TUI, Marella Cruises, or First Choice package holiday, booked before 17 March 2020 and travelling on or before 30 June 2020, you can amend for free to any holiday that’s currently on sale.
If you choose a holiday that’s cheaper than the one you originally booked, we’ll refund you the difference. If you choose a holiday that’s more expensive than your original booking, you’ll need to pay the difference in price.
You can make a change free of charge up until seven days before your original departure date. This policy is in place until 31 May 2020. So, if your holiday departs between 8 June 2020 and 30 June 2020, you must make any amends on or before 31 May 2020.
If you booked your holiday on our website, on the TUI App, or on the First Choice App, and your flights were scheduled to be with TUI Airways, you can easily amend your booking on the Manage my Booking page. The only exception to this is if you added insurance, parking or an airport hotel to your booking – unfortunately you won’t be able to amend online.
If you booked in a TUI Store, or you added insurance, parking, or an airport hotel to your booking, we’d ask that you bear with us for now.
