TUI is introducing a revised onboard alcohol policy for economy passengers that takes effect on November 1. According to reports from multiple outlets, the change removes the previous approach of providing free long-haul alcohol more broadly. Instead, economy passengers will receive only one complimentary alcoholic drink with their main meal, typically a beer or wine.
Under the new rule, passengers who want additional alcoholic beverages beyond the one included with the main meal will be required to pay. The policy applies to long-haul travel in economy class, with the included drink specifically tied to the main mealtime service.
Both sources describe the same core elements: a start date of November 1, a limit on the number of complimentary alcoholic drinks for economy long-haul passengers, and a shift to paid service for any extra alcohol. The reports do not indicate changes for other cabin classes in their coverage.
