TUI travels to new routes from six UK airports to Cape Verde, Egypt and more

It will fly from the UK to a large selection of winter sun spots in North Africa.

Travellers will be able to take advantage of more frequent flights or new routes altogether.

New winter routes

Sal, Cape Verde from Glasgow, Birmingham and East Midlands

It has also added 80,000 seats to Egyptian destinations, 45,000 seats to Cape Verde and 15,000 to Tunisian resorts this winter.

The announcement came earlier this year and customers will be able to take advantage of the routes from now.

TUI UK managing director Andrew Flintham said: “Our North Africa destinations have gone from strength to strength with UK customers and remain a very important part of our vast holiday programme.”

This comes as the tour provider shared there will be 1.1 million extra seats available for summer 2024.

These will include 250,000 additional seats each to countries including Turkey, Spain, Greece and Cyprus.

North Africa will get 300,000 additional seats and Italy and Croatia will get 50,000 seats.
