  • TUI AirwaysPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 18, 2026

    TUI's UK fleet page identifies the 737-800 as a single-Economy aircraft seating up to 189, identifies the 737 MAX 8 as an active UK fleet type, and reports 787-8/-9 Dreamliners with 300-to-345 seats across Premium and Economy cabins.

    Direct live retrieval was Akamai-blocked, so this is a raw-byte 12 December 2024 Wayback capture. It predates the neutral table's all-Economy 325-seat 787-8 entry and does not publish row-by-row 737 layouts or the MAX 8 capacity.

  • TUIPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 18, 2026

    TUI's assisted-travel page separately lists the 737-800, 737 MAX 8, 787-8 and 787-9 and says seats 1A/1B/1C and 2D/2E/2F across its 737 fleet are narrower, with fixed armrests and tray tables stowed in the armrests.

    Direct live retrieval was Akamai-blocked, so this is a raw-byte 14 March 2026 Wayback capture. The page does not publish a complete seat plan or exit-row positions.

    Revision 1364664585 (17 July 2026) lists both 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 at 189 Economy seats, 787-8 configurations of 47 Premium/253 Economy (300) and 325 Economy, and the 787-9 at 63 Premium/282 Economy (345). Its historical fleet table records the 757-200 as retired in 2021.

    Neutral fleet-table snapshot used to enumerate capacities, cabin splits and retirement status only; it does not establish row positions. The table itself is labeled as of August 2025 even though the captured page revision is from July 2026.

How this map was built

TUI and the current neutral fleet table establish a 189-seat single-Economy configuration. DERIVED GRID: no permitted public TUI source exposes the complete row map. The grid uses row 1 as the three-seat ABC remainder and rows 2-32 as full 3-3 rows, constrained by TUI's explicit identification of 1A-1C and 2D-2F as the narrower fixed-armrest seats. All row numbering beyond those named seats, the partial-row interpretation and the cabin's exact longitudinal placement are count-reconciliation conventions. Exit rows, wing bounds, galleys, lavatories and Extra Legroom/Extra Space locations are deliberately not asserted. The variant-exact engineering window grid is bound, but window alignments remain unknown unless the engineering classifier can apply a high-confidence structural blank.
