About TB
TB is TUI fly Belgium, the charter and leisure arm of the massive TUI Group operating out of Brussels. This isn't your scrappy low-cost carrier or a full-service legacy airline — it sits in that middle lane of package-holiday flying, built around sun, sea, and pre-booked deals rather than last-minute business class upgrades. The network reflects that clearly: 306 non-stop routes across 83 airports, heavily tilted toward beach destinations in Spain, Greece, Morocco, and Turkiye. BRU is the obvious nerve center with 69 routes, but the airline also pushes traffic through smaller bases like OST and ALC.
Why fly TB?
The honest case for TB is route access, not frills. If you're trying to get from Belgium to a Greek island or a Moroccan coastal town without a painful connection, TB often has a direct line that nobody else bothers with. Those 32 routes into Greece and 30 into Morocco aren't accidents — they reflect real demand from Belgian and North African travelers that bigger carriers ignore. The BRU-BJL route out to Banjul in The Gambia at 4,590 km is a good example of TB punching into markets where it's essentially the only practical option. Pricing tends to be competitive when booked as part of a package, and if you're traveling solo on a flight-only ticket, you can still find decent fares, especially out of ALC.

Tips for booking TB
Book early if you're flying peak summer routes into Spain or Greece — capacity fills fast because most seats are locked into package deals first. Flight-only tickets are available but you're working with whatever's left. Baggage allowances vary depending on how you booked, so double-check before you show up at BRU assuming your bag is included. OST is a genuinely underrated departure point if you're in western Belgium or just across the Dutch border — smaller crowds, faster security. TB isn't part of a major alliance, so don't expect to earn or burn frequent flyer miles through partner programs. Treat it as a point-to-point leisure carrier and it delivers.
