TUI airways-2
Just out of curiosity, what’s with the 5 return flights from DLM to MAN today. Seems excessive even for peak summer let alone the start of may. 3x 738 of TUI, 1x 38M and one air explore 738. I did think it may be due to two 787’s being out of service but even then it seems a jump.

Returning guests who have travelled across the Atlantic from Barbados on the TUI ship Marella Discovery which has arrived this morning for the first time at its summer home port of Marmaris. The ship will be emptying today ready to start for the summer so all the guests are travelling home.

Decals
Question for those in the know - will the Avion Express Malta a/c have the TUI decals stuck on? I know they have done so previously, I saw the BFS based one yesterday, devoid of any markings.

Seems like none have been branded this year even the Sunwing and Smartlynx over in Amsterdam for TFL remain blank which is odd.

Yeah they must have known there was potentially an issue as G-TUIO positioned up to Glasgow from Manchester before G-TUIB was even scheduled to depart.

I've heard that the entertainment isn't used on short haul flights so unlikely. I would take your own with a tablet.
I’m even more confused now, from what I gather entertainment is provided on short haul, just not as extensive as what you’d get on long haul. I’ve seen trip reports on YouTube and the TV screens are definitely in use. Can anyone else confirm one way or another?

Yes, it seems Tui is planning to use the Dreamliner for short-haul routes from Birmingham next summer, including flights to Dalaman (DLM) and Paphos (PFO) in Cyprus. It's likely due to high demand and capacity needs on those routes.
