FAQs

What’s included with a free kids’ place?

A free kids’ place includes the flight, accommodation, food and drink, and transfers to and from the airport.

What age ranges apply to TUI’s free kids’ places?

When booking a TUI package holiday, young passengers are classed as follows:

  • Children – 2 to 16 years old on the return date of travel. Anyone aged 17 or older is considered an adult.

  • Infants – under 2 years old on the return date of travel. If your child celebrates his or her second birthday while on holiday, you must book and pay the appropriate child fare.

Do I qualify for a free kids’ place?

To qualify for a free kids' place holiday, there must be a minimum of one child travelling with you within the ages of 2 and 16 on the return date of your holiday. Just so you know, to qualify for a Free Kids’ Place, at least two full-paying passengers must be travelling on the same booking. That can be either two adults and one child, or one adult and two children. Additionally, if there are multiple children on the booking, the free child place will be allocated to the youngest child.

How many free kids’ places are available per booking?

For each holiday, we offer a maximum of one free kids’ place. This goes to the youngest child if there is more than one child travelling. The child needs to be between the ages of 2 and 16 years old on the return date of your holiday, and a minimum of two full-paying passengers must also be travelling on the same booking.

Travel with your kids at no extra cost

Our free kids' place offer applies to new bookings only, on selected holidays subject to limited availability. Only one free kids' place is available in each selected hotel room or selected apartment type or villa with a minimum of two full-paying adults. Other children must pay the full price. Please see www.tui.co.uk or the relevant brochure for full booking terms and conditions.
