Where Are the Best Seats?

If you’re not upgrading, these are the best standard seats to choose:

Economy Class

• Rows 30 to 39 offer the best balance of space and distance from toilets
• Avoid rows above the wing (rows 21–26) if you want a clear window view
  
  

Comfort Class (extra space seats) 

• Rows 11 and 12 are considered the best
  These offer good legroom without being too close to toilets or bulkheads
  
  

Premium Class (Deluxe) 

• All seats offer excellent comfort
• Slight tip: seats on the right side may experience more foot traffic from passengers walking to the toilet at the front
  
  

Seats to Avoid on the TUI Dreamliner

Not all seats on the TUI Dreamliner offer the same level of comfort. Some seats have limited legroom, reduced recline, or are located near high-traffic areas.

Seats with limited legroom

• Row 30A and 30J
  These window seats are located at the emergency exit, but legroom is restricted due to the emergency slide stored in the door. Seats in exit rows are usually the first to sell out.
  
  
• Row 30D, 30E, 30F
  These seats have a wall or bulkhead in front, limiting the ability to fully stretch your legs.
  
  

Seats near toilets

• Rows 40 and 41
  Located near the rear toilets, these seats can experience noise, odor, and passenger traffic. Recline may also be limited.
  
  
• Row 6 (right side)
  Close to a toilet used by Comfort and Deluxe passengers.
  
  

Seats with limited recline

• Row 40
  These seats often have restricted recline due to their proximity to the rear galley and toilets.
  
  

Window View Tips

If having a window view matters to you:

• Avoid rows 13 to 20 (Comfort) and 21 to 26 (Economy)
  These are located above the wings
• Row 38 has no window
  
  

Toilets and Cabin Layout

Toilets on the TUI Dreamliner are located at:

• Front of the aircraft near Row 1 (Deluxe only)
• Around Row 6 (right side)
• Middle cabin near Row 30
• Rear cabin behind Row 40

Sitting too close can mean more noise and movement during the flight.

Seat Reservation on TUI Fly

TUI allows passengers to reserve seats in advance, which is recommended for long-haul flights.

• Seat selection opens up to 30 days before departure
• Extra legroom and premium seats require an additional fee
• Online check-in opens 24 hours before departure

Checking the seat map early gives you access to the best available options. Popular seats like extra legroom rows and window spots fill up quickly.
