My flight from Leeds to Munich on 23.03.13 was cancelled due to severe weather conditions.

I booked a flight for my aunt (pensioner) to go to Spain last October. There was a natural disaster in the area she was going to and her friend could not meet her at the airport (roads impassable - lives and homes lost). BECAUSE I had checked her in online - which has more to do with the company's convenience than anything else - I was unable to change her flight because of call centre hours.

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. This is yet another cynical money-grabbing ploy by unfriendly Jet2 (like the online check-in fee)... (read more)

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 hate RyanAir but I now fly with them all the time as their costs are, on average, half that of Jet2 even allowing for all charges. 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!

Have flown numerous times with Jet2 and have found them to be excellent from booking, through check-in to the flight.

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.

If there was a technical problem with your plane and the delay in reaching your arrival airport was in excess of 3 hours then you are entitled to financial compensation from the airline.
