Jet2

...seventy-seven destinations in total. Jet2 has UK bases in Leeds, Manchester, Belfast, Newcastle, Blackpool and Edinburgh. Their fleet is comprised of 21 Boeing 737-300's and 8 Boeing 757-200's. They are currently enjoying a boom in business, and seem to be carrying even more passengers to even more destination, although it will be interesting to see what happens in upcoming years, as fuel prices and environmental concerns may mean that air travel ...
...the departures hall. Because Jet2 has a really quick turnaround time, you might notice in Leeds that there isn't even a gate number assigned, usually because the incoming flight hasn't even arrived yet! So there's no real point in getting to the airport 3 hours early, as you'll just sit airside for ages. (Please note: I do not endorse, however, rocking up twenty minutes before departure either, because you know it will just backfire HORRIBLY) Boarding ...

Review of Jet2

...have just recently flown with jet2 for a couple of trips - one to alicante from manchester and one to rome fumicino from manchester. As they were very close together i thought i would share my views as obviously two very different routes and staff were different on the different routes too. Booking: The jet2 website was very easy to use - i find most low cost airline websites are really and there isn't anything different about the jet2 website ...
...manchester airport were open and jet2 is in it's own area next to the mytravel desks so not as busy either as the main area where all the other desks are. The staff member who was stood at the front of the queue was handing out the labels to attach to any hand luggage as we were arriving at the head of the queue and advising us which desk to go to. This was the case for both of my flights, even though one was first thing in the morning (rome) and ...

Review of Jet2

I recently went on holiday to Prague, and I noticed my local airport, Newcastle, does not do flights to Prague anymore which were once run by Easyjet. After winning a return flight on Jet2.com, we decided to travel to Leeds to fly to Prague using this airline. == About Jet2.com == Jet2.com are a low-cost airline, aka a budjet airline similar to the likes of Easyjet and Ryanair and are based at Leeds Bradford Airport. They fly from 6 UK airports including ...
...a budget airline, tickets can only be booked via the Internet or telephone and their company slogan is "Friendly Low Fares." The planes used by Jet2.com are all silver with red. == Booking your flight == Booking online is an easy process at, of course, www.Jet2.com. They often have flights advertised for as little as £2.99 but this doesn't include the taxes and any extra charges. Jet2.com are a typical budget airline, they advertise low fares such ...

Review of Jet2

...19.45). I went to the Jet2 desk and spoke to a very friendly agent. She was extremely helpful, despite having had a hectic day (and staying on late to be there for the delayed flights). I asked if it would be possible to just wait for my bag, as it was only an hour and a half (and the alternative was to wait for a delivery two days later). She took care of informing the Servisair personnel airside, and my bag was duly delivered after 288 arrived. ...
...a refund of the £50 I paid to transfer, because having to wait for my bag rather defeated the purpose of taking the earlier flight. I have yet to hear back other than an acknowledgment, and will update this opinion when I do. But I also think (and this is down to Jet Aviation more than Jet 2) that more effort could have been made to transfer people onto the earlier flight, and also to waive the charges. I mentioned to the FA that I guess Jet Aviation ...

Review of Jet2

Jet2 is the latest in a line of budget airlines to operate out of British airports. The difference with this one is that it goes out of Leeds/Bradford airport, and for anyone living in West Yorkshire this is a Godsend. No more travelling over to Liverpool or Manchester-it's a quick journey to just North of Bradford and you're off! How to book... Log onto the website- if you put Jet2 in you may be redirected to a site that looks as if it has nothing ...
...£6!!! Check in with Jet2 is quick and easy. They do allocate seat numbers which is different to Easy jet, so you don't have to scramble onto the plane to get a good seat. You can ask for a window seat if you want one! Check in is an hour before take off, but if you want to look in the shops and have a drink, do it earlier, because the call to get on the plane comes about 20 minutes before take off...doesn't leave much time for that last G+T in the ...

...and friends have flown with Jet2 several times over the past year and a bit and have found it to be a very pleasurable experience every time. I've just booked with them again to go to Paris this Christmas for a little romantic getaway - at just £38 return! We also booked Venice again for next spring at just over £50 each! Madness... BOOKING Something along the lines of 95% of Jet2’s booking occurs via their website http://www.jet2.com. It’s a ...
...of the best things about Jet2 is that it operates from Leeds Bradford, which is very easily reached from Leeds, Bradford and all the surrounding area. This means it’s less than 30 minutes from my front door! Obviously this won’t appeal to people not in the Yorkshire area, but seeing as that’s who the airline is aimed at and there are no other options without driving to Manchester, East Midlands or Birmingham it’s wonderful to have somewhere so close. ...

Review of Jet2

Jet2 being a budget airline I expected cramped and uncomfortable seats, however the seats were the most comfortable and roomy of any airline I have travelled with and I have travelled with quite a few. There were quite a few spare seats so after take-off quite a few people moved into the empty seats so that everyone had plenty room, I had the whole 3 seats to myself as did my sister on the opposite side which meant I could ...

It would have been nice since Tenerife is a 5 hour flight, but I had a book so it didn't bother me. Once in Tenerife the luggage collection was very quick and one thing which really amazed me was the condition of the suitcases. I have flown with many airlines and everytime have ended up with dirty, battered ...

Review of Jet2

Jet2 are a fairly new uk airline but are a subsiduary of Channel express in France (please remember this if your travelling to France). They currently fly from Leeds Bradford airport and more recently from Manchester. They have an ever growing list of destinations which include Malaga, Alicante, Murcia, Prague, Paris, Geneva etc etc. Their web site is the easiest to use if your looking for a cheap flight when you go on their home page click on ...
...The airports used by jet2 vary enormously and i can recommend anyone to use the smaller uk airports over the bigger ones anytime- less crowds, friendlier, less stressed staff, parking usually closer to terminal- you may not have all the facilities of the bigger airports but the services and shops etc are all you need. The planes are usually 737 type aircraft, and offer leather seats with 3/3 seating .Staff have always been friendly and helpful (except ...

What a great Airline this is! I have traveled with Jet 2.com many times and always had a great experiance with them. There website is easy to use and prices are clear and easy to understand.

Review of Jet2

My partner and I ideally wanted a few weeks away earlier this summer (well the start of June) but money could not quite stretch that far. Instead we looked at city breaks and before we knew it we had picked the beautiful city of Prague and were researching the net looking for cheap flights and times. It wasn't long before we found jet2.com (who I have to admit we had never heard of before). We booked the flight fairly quickly and the process was ...
...between the two of us. I have to admit in the buildup to our short break is was strange knowing that we would not be having to take tickets with us but friends reassured us that many airlines were now telling their customers to print off emails as it cuts down on their administration. Check-in was quick and easy and before we knew it we were boarding at 6.30am. The flight seemed to go very quickly too and it was a comfortable trip and the staff ...

Review of Jet2

My Father has flown with Jet2 twice in the past 12months and both times he was carrying a bicycle in a carry case. Obviously this is a large item, and yet it cannot be booked in prior to the flight day. The flight (from LBA to Paris) was booked over the internet and it informed us that bikes could not be pre-checked. Therefore we had to phone Jet2, which took forever to get through. FInally we were told we would just have to hope there was enough ...
...far as I am aware Jet2 didn't provide us with an answer. Luckily there was room and my Dad managed to spend 5days cycling around Northern France for the VE DAy celebrations earlier this month. Also on the return flight the plane had to abort the landing at the last possible minute (landing gear was down) as a gust of wind knocked the plane off course. Jet2 did explain the situation to the customers to ensure they were fully aware of the situation ...

Review of Jet2

I have used Jet2 on a number of occasions now. I have flown from Manchester to Murcia, Alicante and Prague with them. I have always found the prices to be amongst the best around, especially if you are flexible with your dates. I have always booked my car hire through Jet2 and to date I have never managed to get it cheaper elseware. Jet2 have their own check-in area at Manchester so I have never had to wait longer than 15 minutes to check- in even ...
...As no frills airlines go I think that Jet2 is amongst the best, you do only get what you pay for but pros outweigh the cons considerably and with friendly staff and a clean, modern fleet you should be able to have an enjoyable flight at a reasonable price. ...

Review of Jet2

Jet 2 is one of the newer range of budget airlines available in the UK. Before I say anything else, the bestest thing about this airline is that it flys from Leeds/Bradford. No longer do i need to trapes across the penines to Manchester or down to London for just a short break. First lets get all the bad things out of the way. With me usually travelling to thet states (to visit my family), whatever class i travel in, i always receive inflight entertainment ...
...shocked when i didnt get either of these. Right, that was my only complaint, as because i thought about how much i actually paid for my ticket, and it was approx. £84 return to Alicante (and thats an expensive one) so i was thinking, wait..... i get to fly from an airport 6 miles from my house, on a 2 and bit hour flight, for this amount, so really i cant complain about the lack of food etc. There was food available, but at a price. Everyone from ...

Review of Jet2

Now this is how flying should be! I've just returned from my second trip using Jet 2 this one was a short break in Nice which cost me £5 to fly there and £1 to fly back. The taxes they had to add on aftrewards cost more than that. But at a total cost of £36 I still couldn't complain. I can't get to Manchester for that. The fact that they fly from my local airport is superb, no more trips across the Pennines, I can get a taxi to Leeds/Bradford for ...
...doddle, it couldn't have been made any easire if they'd tried. As this was the first time I'd ever used a budget airline it felt a bit strange going into the airport with no tickets, just something I'd printed off the PC at home. I needn't have worried, everything was just so straightforward. Let's hope they stay small, and local and friendly. Naturally at their prices, there's no food, apart from Danish pastries and some sandwiches. But so what! ...

Review of Jet2

...a couple of times with Jet2 to Amsterdam, Venice and Barcelona and each time have been more than satisfied with the service. Jet2 has one great advantage over some of their budget competitors in that they actually fly to the main city airports e.g. Marco Polo in Venice and Barcelona main airport. This is invaluable when you are travelling away only for a short break as you are then not faced with a long bus journey on arrival to get into the city ...
...The other great thing about Jet2 is the website. This is very easy to use and they offer a "Cheap fare finder". This allows you to view the fares on a particular route for a whole month at a time, thus allowing you see the dates when it is cheap to fly. This avoids the frustrations generated by seeing an airline advertise a cheap fare deal, but then not being able to find the dates when this particular fare is available. Having said that, I have ...
