I went too Lanzarote last month and the guy behind was playing music on his phone for well over 2 hours , why he didnt use earphones is beyond me . He wasnt young either , in his fifties .So many rude and entitled people around . Kids screaming i can sort of put up with , its hard keeping a child happy on a plane , but ignorance is unforgivable.

We fly to Hurghada twice a year from Bristol. For some reason you always get the obligatory nuisance on the flight. I so admire the cabin crew in terms of what they put up with, I couldn't be quite so tolerant.

It used to be a decent airline when it was first Britannia and then Thompson as soon as the TUI name appeared it lost all credibility.

Horrific Think you handled it very well. This is why I fly BA if I go to Europe or mainline carriers like Lufthansa or KLM etc , generally there is a different type of person onboard and they are normally trouble free. These angry, drunk, abusive sorts of passengers should be on global no fly lists if they can’t behave!

Frist time watching your videos. Great job, very entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work 😊

Amazing job and out standing video keep it up!

I hope you had a great time despite the bumpy start.

Charlie was me as a kid! Love to see another aviation fan

It sounds like the flight from hell, there is nothing worse than being stuck near horrible people!

TUI + Manchester Airport = Distaster

This is like moving in to a new house & finding you have ASBO neighbours except (and thank god) you can move away again before too long. Still with those behind you, this must've felt like a long haul flight!

You never told us how you liked Hurghada? My beloved late mother worked for the national bank of Cairo back in the 1950’s to the 1960’s and used to vacation in Hurghada and she told me it is a very beautiful seaside resort. I have never been there myself but would like to visit Egypt now that I am retired.

The people behind you.... Moaning about foreigners when going to a foreign country 😂😂

My comment may be unpopular but…….Manchester airport has the most disruptive passenger incidents in the UK every year! Certain destinations worse than others but it seems to attract the worse kind of people. Unfortunately too many people spoil the experience for others these days and would be in favour of booze ban in airport and onboard and also there being a breathalyser at the gate! You may disagree but trust me it’s a much bigger problem than you think. So many police incidents and diverts it’s getting silly……and yes 9 out of 10 times it’s always Manchester flights.

lol, the nerve of that guy claiming he saves lives with the NHS. He's probably a store-man. You dealt with it very well We had a nightmare flight going to Turkey. 2 rows beside us were hammering alcohol then singing paramilitary songs. Drinks was stopped for them and one girl had the cheek to ask me if I'd get her some? lol, NO said it would put me in a difficult position. Some people are so immature and selfish with zero regard for anyone but themselves.

And they all end up at your hotel. When we were there this year, it was an Egyptian holiday and we had a lot of Egyptians turn up. They would turn up at the pool mid-day and if you had left your sun loungers they would just take them, even laying on your own towels. The pool guys were good at removing them, but it happened every day where at least one of us would stay on the beds whilst the others would go swimming, but even with people on the sun loungers, they would still sit at the end of them and even put all there stuff in them. I thought it was great - best entertainment the whole time there.

😂 the irony....brits going abroad to a 'foreign country' and making disparaging comments about foreigner's. Gr8 content. Im a new subby!

Usually those sort of people holiday in Skegness. Can't imagine what they're doing leaving the country!

How does he know if the plane spotters actually need to work? Could retired people not be plane spotters? May just be jealous that he has to work and others don't.

Manchester, always my last resort to fly from.. But I do like a day on the south side mounds with a camera.. Well handled sir, he would have had both barrels off me.

Manchester Airport total rip off merchants. 6 pounds for a coffee, £20 for less than an hour parking,and you even have to pay for a trolley, absolute disgrace. And you have to walk miles to your gate! Only good I found was getting through quick apart for 20 mins waiting on luggage.

Typical flight from Manchester, that travel reps dread meeting !

Terrible to have to be in that situation especially when you have kids to care for. Honestly these type of scxm should not be allowed to travel. I bet they made a great representation of British people for the entire vacation. Hopefully they went to far and ended up in the care of the local security forces.

Same as others have said fly BA, cheap flights attract cheap people. I last flew Ryanair during the Volcano problem (remember that) and got stuck in Poland, I’m experienced so instead of waiting for my flight which never got off the ground I came home by train via Berlin and Brussels. I’m flying with them next week Cologne to Bristol for how much £25 even a tramp could afford that on tips from begging! Mind you I’ll pay the same price to get home on the train

We are rightly proud in Manchester to have the 19th 20th and 21st worst terminals in the UK........of 21! It is truly shocking when the National Express Coach station is an upgrade on the terminal building you know that... there are issues!

I used to put post it notes on the atlas boxes in the galley , the 737 is a lovely plane to be a galley operator on .thanks for the lovely video .airlines are just cramming way to many passengers on making loos smaller etc it’s so unnatural.

B.A. K.L.M. and Lufthansa tend to have dreadful cabin crew unless you're in business class, but I get where you're coming from.

Flew from Manchester earlier in the year, after we couldn’t get a flight from Glasgow, our local airport. After this single experience, I will never fly from Manchester again. The buildings are just that, bricks, concrete and mortar, like any other airport, so no problem there. The staff, specifically in security, that was a complete eye opener, to the difference between my local airport in Glasgow and Manchesters attempt at customer service. Fist of all, not enough staff on the ground, so security checks took ages, with frustration building in both passengers and staff. The passengers handled the delays admirably, but the same could not be said for the staff. I witnessed multiple security staff, harass a woman in her 50s who was pushing her mother of 70-80 years old in a wheelchair and demanding, that the mother stand up from the wheelchair and walk unaided through the body scanner. When advised that her mother could not walk unaided, the security staff then raised their voices, became belligerent and threatened, the mother and daughter, with potentially not getting on their flight, if she failed to stand up !!! The staff member cheekily said, “you should have contacted the airport and advised us that your mother had mobility issues” to which the daughter showed proof she had, but the airport failed to provide any support in processing them through security, to which the staff member just ignored her and repeated his demands that she walk through the scanner unaided. Some of us offered to help hold and support the older lady, but were warned to stay out of it and get back in line !!! Disgusting, disgraceful behaviour and totally unacceptable and repulsive to any decent person. I can only speak about my multiple experiences in Glasgow Airport, where on departure and arrival, the warmth, care and support of every member of staff, makes it a joy to travel and I will avoid Manchester airport at all costs.

Thats the airport i always go when im going on holiday

I was recently stuck on a boat on Lake Bled (Slovenia) for half an hour with a loudmouthed British guy talking nonstop about politics. He had controversial views. People just wanted to chill. He killed the conversation totally. The stupidest people are often the loudest. No self-awareness.

Flew to Cyprus a few years ago, awful there and back, the same people and there kids who were a nightmare on the flight out, were even worse on the way back. The return flight was delayed for 4 hours, vouchers were handed out for meals etc, the nightmare family used their vouchers for booze, on take off as the plane was still climbing, the father vomited all over the seat in front of him and himself, attempted to stand up before the plane levelled out and threw up again, when the plane did level out, he stood in the aisle and stripped off to his boxer shorts, then walked up and down the aisle asking every Man, if they had a spare pair of 'keks' At baggage reclaim still 'wearing' the blankets the aircrew gave him, he thought it was a funny idea, to take his kids teddy bear off him, and send it for a ride on the carousel, all fun and games until it disappeared behind the curtain, at which point his child threw a screaming fit and temper tantrum, scum of the Earth!

This is why I don't go on package holidays, use budget airlines or travel in economy class. It mostly avoids all the uneducated, rude, ignorant people! The only time I have flown with Tui was on a Dreamliner in premium class which was just about tolerable.

Terrible aircraft for a 6 hour flight

It's nothing to do with anyone when you fly, I dislike ppl that talk loud just so you can hear them! I had that experience flying to norway, american couple no less, I was so glad to get off that plane.

Usually find your destination followed by airline are the biggest indicator of how pleasent your fellow passengers are. Normally fly BA myself and sometimes easyJet. I never book with package tour operators like Tui because as a solo traveler they take the micky in surcharges and the tightest seating arrangements of all UK airlines. Not saying they are bad, just not for me.

Lets be honest, a plane spotter is just an upgrade from a train spotter😂

I flew back from hurghada on Monday night we only had one drinks service with tui

It's a shame there are elements of society that just don't know how to behave when in public, especially on an aircraft. It's not like you can just leave and get away from the situation. It also find it mind boggling that people who behave in such a racist and despicable manner chose to holiday in Egypt. That aside, I hope you and your family enjoyed your holiday.

Never been with Tui. Always gone with Jet2.

This just reconfirms why I don't fly tui, awful. That announcement about abusive behaviour, you'll never hear that on BA. The passengers aren't what I want to mingle with. You guys seem nice and polite with great kids.

It took us nearly as long to get to our gate as it did to fly to our destination 😅😅

Need to swap it to a 787 route.

It's certainly nobody elses business what you do for a living, where you work and what you do in your free time!

I'm shocked you were on such a small plane for a 6 hour flight..We flew out to Palma,Mallorca with Tui,on a 2 hour flight from Manchester,and we were on the Tui Dreamliner with seatback tv's..I'd have hated those passengers sat near us,instead we had quite a lot of screaming/crying babies

I'd have said "sometimes, after wiping old people's arses on night shift I get some brekkie and watch the container ships come in to Lowestoft to calm down before sleeping and doing it all again... what do you do love?". Then I'm old and not taking crap no more x

Good to see the seats had usb chargers

And that's why I don't fly unless business class alcohol drinks should not served on the aircraft

What a cute little family

Time to stop serving alcohol on planes but the crew will as long as there's a bonus in it for them

My recent experience at Hurghada Airport was nothing short of disgraceful. The behavior of the airport staff was shameless, rude, and racist, leaving me deeply disappointed and infuriated. It is disheartening to witness such underqualified, dim-witted, and corrupt individuals in positions of authority. As Kurds who couldn't speak Arabic fluently because living in Sweden since age of 6, we became the target of the old individual who checked our passports. It seemed like he was envious or harbored some ill feelings towards us. He went out of his way to ensure that we missed our flight, deliberately mispronouncing our names and searching for any excuse to argue with us about trivial matters. He bombarded us with intrusive questions about our father's name, birthplace, and our inability to speak Arabic. After some time, he conveniently pretended to be ignorant of the English language and began interrogating us in Arabic. It was only when someone behind us stepped forward to assist with translation that he shifted his focus to Saddam Hussein, praising him as a great man-ironically, the same man responsible for a genocide against our people. When we confronted him about his behavior, he responded by hurling curses at us in his language. The flight was thankfully delayed or else we would've been stranded thanks to this racist man. Our initial intention had been to help the kind and needy individuals we encountered during our stay, but after enduring such treatment, I can confidently say that I will never set foot in Egypt again. I sincerely hope that the airport authorities take this review seriously and address the abysmal state of affairs. The treatment we received is an embarrassment to the friendly and helpful people we encountered in the city, who truly made our stay amazing. Hurghada Airport must reconsider the hiring and training of its staff if it wishes to maintain any semblance of credibility and hospitality.

Consider yourself lucky you can fly out of Manchester. You don't have to fly out of one of the worst airport Toronto's Pearson Airport. Or on North America's worst airline Air Canada. There motto is "we're not happy till you're not happy. lol

The perils of traveling to cheap charter all inclusive resorts

Flying the max 8 and living is a feat in its self😂😂

You were wonderfully contained. Unfortunately, I find indirect verbal annihilation the preference of the Northern people. Terms like "I speak as I find" translate as "I'M very rude and opinionated"

I’ve never understood the 5 star thing on Egypt. Clearly not. Lots of people still get the sh i t s from the food. Lots of bang so called resorts. Food all the same. Last time we went was horrendous. Food poisoning. The restaurants you had to book in weee the same food as the big show pan cooking every night. Waiters sexually talking to guests. Never ever again

I prefer business class for a quite flight.

We went to hurgarda on the 22nd of September, and I must say I was not impressed with TUI. Their crew just Semt rude it was worse on the way back they served drinks once at the start never dimming the lights and spent most of the flight at the front speaking to the pilot

That's why We go to MALTA 🇲🇹

Manchester always up there for disruptive passengers.

Alcohol on a flight is a ridiculous concept. Who on earth wants to be stuck in a small flying bus with loud, smelly and arrogant people, causing problems for 5 hours? Not me thats for sure. They should at the very least impose a limit 125 quid worth of booze is crazy. It never ceases to amaze me just how little self-control some grown adults have when it comes to avoiding becoming a drunken on a flight.

I agree those people seated behind you were vile. "while I'm saving the world with the NHS" - what an arrogant guy high on his own self importance. If he was a guy spewing racist bile, then I can assume he's not a doctor! It's a level of prejudice and ignorance that you cannot break through with dialogue. And if they are that comfortable saying such disgusting things out loud in a public space, then I can only wonder what they are like behind closed doors! Always better to be a decent human. Hope you and your family had a great holiday!

Manchester is not the worst

Bro dont fly tui

Worst airport? They need to visit luton

I've just returned from Doha to Birmingham with Qatar Airlines. The flight was full and I would guess at least 95% ethnic. After we landed, I've never seen an aircraft left in such abject shit order in all of my days. We were seated right at the back but had to walk right to the front to exit. I don't know how the staff put up with it. Flying is a privilege or so I thought. It's no wonder there is so much unrest in the world with this level of ignorance and self entitlement.

Why going Egypt should be banned as going to foreign land

Your being a bit snowflake about the man behind
