Hurricane Melissa | FOR PACKAGE HOLIDAY CUSTOMERS

Updated: Monday 3rd November 2025 | 09:45

Our hearts go out to the people of Jamaica who are facing the aftermath of the worst storm in their history. During this incredibly difficult time our thoughts remain with them, and their loved ones.

We have teams on the ground continuing to assess the full impact and the extent of damage to local infrastructure including resorts, roads and airports. We want to reassure our customers that their safety and wellbeing remains our absolute top priority.

FOR PACKAGE HOLIDAY CUSTOMERS CURRENTLY IN JAMAICA

We understand this is an unsettling time and ask that customers currently in Jamaica continue to follow the advice of local authorities and their resort teams. Our teams are working hard to support those on the ground and ensure you have access to food, water and essential items.

Our repatriation efforts have now begun, starting with guests staying in hotels most impacted by Hurricane Melissa. This is a carefully managed process which will take a number of days, and our priority is to ensure that all travel arrangements are safe and coordinated. As soon as we have confirmed details of your flight, we will contact you directly with information about your pick up date and time.

In the meantime, our local teams have already extended your hotel accommodation and are on hand to support you. If you need any additional help, please contact us via the TUI app, call our TUI Guest Experience Centre on +44 203 830 3111, or speak with your local TUI Representative.

If you have family or friends in Jamaica who have travelled with us and you are concerned about them, please contact the TUI Family Assistance line on 0203 451 2688.
