The size of the seats on the airline is one of the most frequent concerns a plus-size person may have when travelling. There are a few options to improve your travel experience, like checking the chair dimensions before departure, choosing to book in a different class, or reserving an extra seat. Many travellers want to reserve an additional seat to guarantee their comfort for the duration of the flight. But precisely how can you reserve a spare seat? Depending on who you are travelling with, the procedure could be slightly different. Let’s look at how to reserve an additional seat with TUI.
Disclaimer: Here at Plus Size Travel Too we don’t believe it should be the plus-size person’s responsibility to purchase a second seat when flying, however, we know that it’s some people’s preferred way to ensure comfort on a flight. This guide is to help those that do want to purchase a second seat on TUI.
Considerations For Reserving A Second Seat
Even after payment has been made (due to overbooking, mistakes, etc.), they can be given away.
Because raising armrests are not standard on all planes, purchasing a second seat might not be worth it.
It’s possible that some airlines won’t be able to accommodate last-minute flight requests because the process can be difficult and time-consuming.
There is a possibility that you will need to make your reservation far in advance; hence, if you wait until the last minute to fly, it might not be possible.
Some airlines will refund an extra seat cost if other empty seats are available on the day of flying, so keep your eye out for this.
How To Book A Second Seat on TUI
When booking an extra seat with TUI you first need to think about the type of flight you are booking. TUI are most commonly known for package holidays however, you can also book flights only. If you want to make a booking for an additional seat when flying on a package holiday you will need to book a flight-only seat on the same flight as well as booking your package holiday. This means that you need to make the consideration that you may have two booking references when booking a second seat with TUI. If you are booking a flight-only booking you can book these simultaneously.
If you are booking a package holiday and need an extra seat with TUI you need to:
Book your package holiday.
Book a flight-only ticket on the same flight in addition to your package holiday.
Pay to reserve your seat on both flights.
