Anything else
Are the personal details I provide on your website secure?
Yes – take a look at our Privacy Notice and Cookie Statement, to find out more on how we collect, store and use your details online.
What is ATOL protection?
All of our package holidays are ATOL protected. If you’re not familiar with ATOL, it’s the government-backed holiday protection scheme.
For more information, read through our booking conditions or visit the CAA website.
Do you support sustainable tourism?
We want our holidays to benefit the places you love to visit. That’s why the TUI Care Foundation supports projects in our destinations that are improving the lives of young people, caring for the natural world, or helping local communities thrive.
Can I take extra luggage for a charity?
TUI flights
We can carry luggage for charities providing we’ve got space – and we don’t charge extra for this. You need to send us a letter on the charity’s letter-headed paper to book. Please send your letter to:
TUI Correspondence Team
Alexandra House
1 Alexandra Road
Swansea
SA1 5ED
After we receive your letter, we’ll be in touch to confirm whether or not we can give you the extra luggage allowance.
Flights with other airlines
