🌍 Travel Restrictions Lifted for UAE & Qatar

The UK Foreign Office (FCDO) has updated its travel advice, lifting restrictions for the United Arab Emirates and Qatar following recent diplomatic progress in the Middle East.

With restrictions lifted, now is the perfect time to reconnect with two of the region’s most popular destinations. Whether it’s Dubai’s world-class attractions, Abu Dhabi’s luxury resorts or Doha’s growing appeal as a city break and stopover destination, the UAE and Qatar are once again open for business and ready to book.

It has been a while since we have flown with Tui, so I was impressed with the range of on-flight entertainment they had. There was a range of TV shows, films, games and podcasts to listen to. There is a charge of For some there was a charge of £4.25 for full access. Those that have a star in the top left corner have a charge. I would say it was worth it if you were a bit bored and wanted to watch a film, like Jack, who watched the Minecraft movie.
