Yes, in 2026, TUI Airways operates a frequent service from Manchester Airport (MAN) to Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB). It is important to note that TUI uses Melbourne International as its primary Florida hub rather than the larger Orlando International (MCO). Melbourne is located about an hour's drive east of the main theme parks, but TUI markets it as a "stress-free" alternative with faster customs and shorter walking distances. As of the summer 2026 schedule, TUI has actually increased its capacity, offering up to three flights per week on this route to meet the high demand from travelers in the North West of England. These flights are typically operated by the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which offers a "Premium Club" cabin and a more comfortable long-haul experience. TUI often bundles these flights into complete holiday packages that include transfers from Melbourne to the International Drive or Disney area hotels.
