Chose to holiday with Jet2 for the last two years.....no problems at all. Fabulous prices, no delays, incredibly organised check-in (no queues, whereas the neighbouring EasyJet had huge lines!) loved the fast track boarding ,great on-board service, cheap priority seating, wonderful private transfer to hotel, 24hr emergency tel (which we did not need). On my latest holiday, I requested a hotel which was not on their website. This was not a problem and everything went smoothly. Thank you... (read more)

I travel to murcia spain regular as i have a place there. For the last six years i have been a loyal customer with jet2. Now its cheaper to buy a plane than go with jet2, there fares are outrageous.

Like some of the other reviews on this site, I have had problems before I have even set off. I booked 6 seats all together for my family so we could all be together, and had to pay £60 for the priviledge of doing that. 2 days before the flight I went to check in on line only to see that Jet 2 had taken it upon themselves to split us up all of the plane, meaning my 4yr old and 7yr old would not be able to sit together with their parents !!

I recently flew to Tenerife, Gran Hotel Costa Adeje. It was great everything provided was fantastic especially checking in so quickly. All Jet2 staff were very courteous and offered a great help with our young child. We didnt use the free transfer so cant comment on this, also the only let down was the poor buy back rate when paying with euros on the flight home for drinks. Would certainly use again. (read more)

My wife & myself have booked return flights to Rome Fiumicino in April. We have already paid £12 for the 'privilege' of online check-in and so-called allocated seats. Online check-in opened about two days ago; we have been allocated seats 31B and 32F (away from each other on opposite sides of the aircraft, and on separate rows) on an aircraft that is presently full of empty/unallocated seats.

I have booked return flights to Faro and do not wish to pay extra to choose a seat. I consider that Jet2 deliberately allocates two seats together on one leg of the flight and seats in separate rows for the other leg and this is their way of trying to get an additional payment from passengers. When you book some six months ahead and the company have had your money in their account for that time, I consider that it would be fair to allocate seats together in the order in which seats were...

I used to be a big fan of Jet2 but I am afraid they have really lost the plot when it comes to being a 'low cost airline'.

I can even get a reserved seat with priority boarding for £10 with RyanAir. I now believe that Jet2 should be sued for claiming to be a low cost operator they are so expensive (read more)

Jet2 has absolutely no customer service, the flights are quite expensive for a cheap airline like that, seats are disgusting, even after 2 hours your back hurts. I will never ever fly with jet2!!! Lufthansa with no extra fees, great service and great seats offer flights from Munich to MAnchester for the same price as jet2!

Jet2 was good when it started, but as expected, greed changed that. "friendly, low cost"?? Neither.
The loyalty points system has been reduced to next to useless. prices are amongst the highest. They take all that is bad from O'Leary and apply with enthusiasm, but they don't start with low prices. The advertising campaign is one very short step from outright lies.
For example, Manchester to Venice £422 pp return. Use Monarch £130 pp return.
Time for a wake-up call - the only way is for people to use alternatives.
Hateful organisation

Have used Jet2 since conception 10 years ago. They issue flights 14 months before departure. Monarch issue usually 8 months in advance. You can only compare like for like prices, by the time other operators issue their flights Jet2 have put up their prices up.
