A POPULAR airline is introducing new rules for economy passengers on long-haul flights.
From November 1, TUI Airways has confirmed that it will scrap free alcoholic drinks for all economy passengers on long-haul flights.
Currently, economy passengers are allowed up to three free alcoholic drinks across their long-haul flight with TUI.
However, the new policy reduces this to just one alcoholic drink – beer or wine – which will be served with their main meal.
If travellers then want an additional alcoholic drink, they will need to purchase it.
Passengers will still be able to get complimentary water, soft drinks and juices.

For those travelling in Premium Economy, there will be no changes.
The rules will apply for both inbound and outbound flights.
A TUI spokesperson told Sun Travel: “From 1 November 2026, we are making some changes to the food and drink service included for customers travelling in Economy on our long-haul flights.
“Customers will continue to receive complimentary soft drinks throughout their flight and a complimentary beer or wine served with their main meal.
“Additional alcoholic beverages will be available to purchase onboard.”
Adults with pre-existing bookings affected by the change will be given a £12.50 refund per flight, each way, as a gesture of goodwill.
