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.

TUI's current Dreamliner experience publishes Premium as a separate 38-inch-pitch cabin with wider seats, footrests, adjustable headrests and seatback entertainment; its asset manifest identifies the mobile cabin-plan drawing as by-787-9-2.svg.
TUI labels the plan illustrative and warns that seating arrangements may differ by aircraft. The experience does not expose a 787-8 plan, row labels or seat letters; its current cabin-plan assets both depict the same 345-seat 787-9 geometry.

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.

The current neutral fleet table establishes 47 Premium / 253 Economy = 300, while TUI's fleet page corroborates 300 as the lower Dreamliner capacity and the availability of Premium and Economy. DERIVED GRID: TUI's current public cabin drawing is a 345-seat 787-9 asset, not a 787-8 plan. Premium is therefore represented as six full 2-3-2 rows plus a symmetric five-seat remainder; Economy uses 27 full 3-3-3 rows plus six- and four-seat aft remainders. Every row number, cabin boundary, remainder position and exact taper is a count-reconciliation convention. Exits, wing bounds, monuments, bassinets, Extra Space/Extra Legroom rows and row-specific drawbacks are not asserted. No exact 787-8 engineering window grid exists in the corpus, so windowGridType is omitted and window alignments remain unknown.
