How Do You Get There?
With a flight time of around 13.5 hours from the UK to Singapore, you’re going to want to be comfortable. Fortunately Marella can take advantage of TUI’s amazing Dreamliner aircraft!
TUI’s Dreamliner flights to Singapore (SIN) depart from Birmingham (BHX) & London Gatwick (LGW) on a Wednesday, and from Manchester (MAN) on a Thursday. Both departure dates mean customers get a 14 night cruise. Customers on the BHX & LGW flight land and stay overnight onboard in SIN and await the MAN flight. The customers on the MAN flight will then stay an extra night onboard in SIN at the end of the holiday.
The TUI Dreamliner, officially known as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, is a state-of-the-art, long-haul, twin-engine jet airliner. It is celebrated for its pioneering advancements in aviation technology. The Dreamliner boasts impressive fuel efficiency, achieved largely due to its extensive use of composite materials, which makes up more than 50% of its primary structure. This not only reduces its overall weight but also increases its durability. A standout feature is its larger, dimmable windows that offer passengers unparalleled views. The cabin also offers higher humidity and advanced filtration systems, enhancing passenger comfort during long flights. The Dreamliner’s design significantly reduces noise pollution, making it one of the quietest aircraft in its class. For TUI, a leading travel group, this aircraft signifies a commitment to sustainable and comfortable travel. Serving multiple routes, the TUI Dreamliner ensures that passengers experience a cutting-edge journey, irrespective of their destination.
