I've never been so unhappy with an airline as I am with TUI fly today. My wife, daughter, and myself were booked in a flight to Miami this morning and when we got here the check in was very confusing. We tried express check in which didn't work. We then asked the airport staff and they told us to wait in row 8, which we did. There were not enough people working at the check in and we were in line for an hour. When we got to the front they told us we needed to be at check in 12. It turns out that they don't have permanent check in counters and since two flights were leaving today there were two counters, we were at the wrong one.
We arrived there 42 minutes before the plane took off and were told we were too late. This is the most frustrating experience I've ever had. I had to book a last minute flight home for 3500€ total. No refund was given for this flight either. The check in experience was unacceptable. It was not clearly labeled and not well staffed, resulting in our missing the flight. read more
