TRIPREPORT | TUI Airways | TOM706 | London Gatwick (EGKK) - Dalaman (LTBS) | Boeing 737-800

My first flight of 2023. Today, because I “enjoyed” Turkey so much last year, I’ve decided to go back to the exact same place, with the exact same airline, TUI, and see, have they improved since 2022? Well, let’s start with the positives, Gatwick, smooth, quick with little to no queues. Dalaman as well was alright until we reached baggage reclaim where there was a lengthy wait for bags. As for the flight itself, not much has changed since 2022 really: Delays, screaming children, people clapping, filthy seats, much like the TUI I remember from last year.
