I think what a lot of people don't realise is that travel agents are now using firms like Jet2 to "piggy back" for them in packages put together by the agency.
The truth is these can not only work out much cheaper than those offered by TUI but gives the pax chance to fly from his/her local airport.
TUI have done nothing but bully the charter market along with the pax and even the airport over the years. The chickens are now coming home to roost and its like music to my ears
