In 2026, the majority of the TUI Airways Boeing 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 fleet have been retrofitted with USB-A and USB-C charging ports at every seat. This was part of a fleet-wide "Modernization Program" completed in late 2025 to meet the growing demand for personal electronic device (PED) usage. The ports are typically located on the seatback in front of you, near the literature pocket, or underneath the seat base. On the newer 737 MAX 8 aircraft, which TUI uses for many of its "mid-haul" routes to the Canary Islands and Cape Verde, you will often find "high-speed" charging that can support tablets and modern smartphones. However, it is important to note that TUI’s 737s do not have standard AC power outlets (three-prong plugs) in the Economy cabin; those are usually reserved for "Premium" seats on their larger 787 Dreamliners. A "pro-tip" for 2026 travelers is to always bring your own charging cable and a small portable power bank as a backup, just in case you happen to be on one of the few older 737-800 airframes that has not yet had its USB modules serviced or updated.
