So this summer they will have a fleet of 33+3 leased from Smartlynx = 36…or 35…
Can anyone shed some light? How many aircraft? factory new or not? B737MAX and B787 and...or...? THanks a lot
or they lease the 747 wamos for the season knowing they will need it.

Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2018
AFAIK there are 4 brand spanking new Boeing 737-8's joining the fleet this year, MAX will be the first arriving tomorrow. There's also an 787 on the horizon but I think this will be a second hand one from one of the other airlines (probably the UK) since TUI has only 787-9's on order and afaik these are going to Britain. So the 787 can be anywhere from 5 to 1 year old.

Airborne!
OO-MAX took off from Seattle (Boeing Field) around 01h00 a.m. Belgian time.
Flight is JAF-111 TB-111 BFI-KEF-BRU Seattle-Reykjavik-Brussels:

Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2018
Seems they ran out of Belgian & European flag decals at the Boeing factory since they are missing next to the registration
Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2018
Looking at the pics on the frontpage, is that size of toilet normal? Doesn't seem very comfortable to me, it's soo tiny... Let alone that you can join the mile high club in that space
Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2018
The flags have been disappearing from all planes since they've become TUI Fly. Sad development, in my eyes...
As far as I know, that's standard in the MAX-layout, to cram even more people into the aircraft.

Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2018
Oh, didn't know that, thought that the flag was mandatory just like we had a mandatory "B" on our cars way back (if you left the country with your car) (nowadays, the B is part of the license plate)
Re: TUI fly Belgium in 2018
The plane is called Tenerife Alegria. Its first commercial flight will obviously be to Tenerife. On 5 February, I was told by TUI people.HQ_BRU_Lover wrote: ↑30 Jan 2018, 10:38 Descending towards BRU.

Sad indeed. The Belgian CAA should make them mandatory.
But since the Belgian planes are said to be interchangeable with those of other countries (especially The Netherlands), a national flag doesn't make sense anymore: TUI is a multinational group.

[[ a bit off topic ]]
As far as I know it is still mandatory in Germany, in Belgium it certainly isn't. Don't know about other countries.thought that the flag was mandatory

As an aviation enthusiast I really liked to fly them because they have inflight screens on (almost) all their flights, not so for movies, but most of all for the moving map and inflight info.
(...)
Will there be Wi-Fi on board and possibilities to charge your device and/or some kind of inflight entertainment on their 737MAX?
Can anyone confirm or deny regarding the Wi-Fi, IFE, moving map ?
