Here at First Choice, we understand that great customer service is vital - so we hope our team of Customer Service Advisors will impress you, too.

They're here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help you out. If they don't have the answers, they know someone who will.

Ask us questions. Post your hints and tips. Share your pictures. Or just stop by for a chat.

Before you start posting, though, take a look at our house rules.

These guidelines are in place to make sure you feel right at home in our community. Here's the serious bit…

We take offensive behaviour very seriously. We'll delete any threatening or abusive posts – this means anything discriminatory, obscene, fraudulent or offensive.

Don't swear or use inappropriate language – this includes slang or swearwords with asterisks/symbols replacing letters. If you do, your message will be removed.

Comments that threaten any person, employee or the organisation will be taken down.

We reserve the right to remove comments that are false, or make any fake claims against Thomson or its competitors.

Strictly no spam – this includes deliberately disrupting the wall with repeat posts.

Any promotional links that are not related to, or authorised by, TUI Travel PLC will be removed.
Nudity is a no-no. Photographs or videos that could offend other community members will be taken down.

Posting on someone else's behalf? You'll need to make sure you get their permission – this covers videos and photos, too.

Our wall is a public place, so don't reveal personal information, holiday booking references or travel dates.

If there are any customers that continue to abuse our rules, then we reserve the right to restrict their access to the page.

Finally, if you're an employee of TUI UK & Ireland – or one of the TUI Travel PLC group of companies – please read the Social Media Guidelines in the e-policy.
