  Yes the music is annoying and yes the constant “enjoy your holiday” is annoying when you are going on a 6am work trip but never have I had crew remember me a week later or be so perky at 6am.

  It’s an interesting move by them – relatively last minute by their standards and they’re doing a lot of “W” flying from other bases which isn’t something they’ve done before. Presumably the slots came up and they jumped in as particularly morning outbound slots are in limited supply!

  I’ve flown with them a couple of times – love the English brekkie ! Reminds me of flying Monarch in the 90s

    Yep, two based aircraft and W patterns for the rest of the routes. I work for Jet2.com and I didn’t see this coming!

  Can’t say I will ever use them.

  Can’t think of anything worse!

  Although maybe being served brunch or supper in business by BA might come close!

    “Can’t think of anything worse!”

    Wizz? Ryanair?

    Operationally, and as a business, Jet2 is leagues ahead of British Airways never mind Wizzair etc. To avoid them based on snobbery is extremely stupid.

    Book their up front seats and you are likely to get a bit of space around you. CE for much less!

  What is there to do in Tenby?

    Tenby and Saundersfoot are very nice – lovely beaches, and on the edge of the Pembrokeshire NP. Some very nice scenery

    Think Welsh version of some of the Cornish seaside towns. Beautful coastline, some good day trips and overall very pleasant indeed. Probably also far less crowded but I’ve only really been there outside of school holidays.

    Lots 🙂.Great beaches and walks and stunning scenery all across Pembrokshire National Park .Fantastic ( and totally brutal ) Ironman event in September . Nice independent bars and restaurants.

  I’m pleasantly surprised by the nice comments and wish BA would learn from Jet2

  Do jet2 actively split up passengers on the same booking around the plane unless they have paid for seats, like wizz and ryanair?

  • Trickster says:

    14 Nov14 November 10:53

    No, not in experience. We have sometimes paid for seats, but when we’ve not we (party of 3) have been sat together

    We’ve flown with them on eight occasions (4 x rtn) as a family of four (with children old enough to be seated away from us) and have never paid for seat reservations. On only two of those do I remember not being seated together and even then we were all close by. They are not like Ryanair, punishing you by seating you at opposite ends for not paying for seat reservations (in my experience).

  Jet2 is incredibly well run with high levels of service, generally reliable and lots of repeat customers. Always our first choice for package holidays and if we lived nearer Stansted would use them for a range of other trips. Key thing is at Stansted they use all their own staff for every element – check in, baggage handling etc and the staff are incredibly friendly, professional and helpful.

  • Trickster says:

    They also have really good own staff presence at destination airports too; not something that you can say about other airlines/package operators

  I think also their big moneyspinner is actually their bundled Jet2Holidays offering which has been immensely successful to the point easyJet is now trying do a big push with their version. I often find as a result their standalone flight tickets tend to be quite expensive – at least when I looked earlier this year. It feels like as a result they want you to buy their bundled packages rather than flights on their own.
